Lightbulb Exhaust System

I was wondering if you guys could help me out, I have a 2001 GS430 and I want to replace the exhaust on it. I have been looking at the RMM, HKS and Greddy. I am looking for one, thats a little quit when it's idleing but you know it's there when you get into it. Any feedback or expieriences with any of these systems would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I just put Borla's on my 3 day old GS and it sounds lovely... Deep quite but rumbles when you hit the gas.... I've read almost every posts on exhausts for the GS and if you want a low tone but raspy on the thottle IMO go with the Borla's...... Here are mine, I put them on earlier.....

Default rectangular exhaust

Anyone know of an exhaust with rectangular tips. I think it looks like a more natural fit given the squarish ***-end....

Default L-Tuned Exhaust

Here is a pic of the L-Tuned Exhaust.. The Borla exhaust might be the one you are looking for thou.. It has a rectangular/ovalish look to it.. Both are very nice because they are quiet but when you hit the gas pedal you know you have something under the hood so to speak.. Do a search under Borla Exhaust and you should be able to get pictures galore..

Hope that helps!

Default L-Tuned

Get the L-Tuned, the sound is like the Borla Stainless Steel (don't get Carbon Fiber if you want quiet), but eh hanger system on the Borla sucks compared to the L-Tuned. Let me know if you want the L-Tuned..I'll put you in touch with my guy in Manhattan.
