Default Exhaust update

I finally got the new M2 exhaust put on the car. I will be posting videos tomorrow. I was surprised by the sound. There is actually no drone from the exhaust. But it is loud.

I believe there are two models, both made for the GS300/400/430. One is oval shape like the stock one, the other is larger and round, also louder. Both come as axelback or with a Y pipe that deleat the resonators. Also know on ebay as Top Speed pro-1 or M2 regardless of which model (oval or round) so best to be certain when ordering you get the right one you want. they seem to come and go as oneday they have one name the next day the other, some days as just axelback the next day a full cat-back system. Theres another thread with sound clips, though I'd love to hear the round one with the resonators still in place, otherwise might be just too loud.

bigwes, do you have a link to where you bought the M2?

Ebay has it for 60$ less, 309$ http://www.ebay.com/itm/M2-Performan...-/260573882571

Still better then from their own website asking 400$ http://www.m2performance.net/product...productid=6219

Its $309 + $65 shipping so it comes out to around the same price.
