I will get it on the dyno. I am probably gonna do it the same time that itsallgood does his. (if he spots me about 200 ponies, I'll challenge him to an HP shoot out) lmao.

If you were wondering what Hudini is talking about, I changed out my original y-pipe to a newly fabricated one. Look at the thread in the engine section (has anyone done this on their exhaust)

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...threadid=52538

I will do a write up soon.

Ryan, Keep an eye out, there is gonna be something very new and sweeeeeeeet for the GS4. Just gotta save my pennies. News should be coming out real soon, if it hasn't already. (hint It will probably be out in the next 2-4 weeks). I can't say anything else because I was sworn to secrecy. but it will be good

HI98GS we can do a dyno after you and Hudini helps me put my car back together
But the new exhaust looks good, very good.
Now we only have to wait for Hudini to break his piggy bank and get some goodies too...

Aloha

Looks nice! I was considering this exhaust also but when my buddy at APEXi offered the WS, I couldn't say no...

Now you can get the "A" brace... I just changed mine out a couple months ago...

That's all right. You guys have the "alumni" ones while mine is just "UCLA BRUINS". Still unique.

How do you compare the noise to RMM, ltuned, and Borla? I assume that the Toms is louder?

Well, guys
Overall impression is that it is a louder than the L-tuned. You have to remember that the Ltuned is just a muffler replacement, so the piping diameter is unchanged from the first resonator to the muffler. The dameter of the Tom's exhaust is 60 mm. The car has a minimal sound while cruising on the freeway. I hear more road noise from the tires than the exhaust.

To be honest, you can't make any comparisons because I don't have the other exhuasts to do a side by side comparison with the RMM and Borla. I don have comparison with L-tuned.

End result. Would I buy this again. Hell yeah. I will try to post MPeg of the sound as soon as I can.

aloha
