But having an exhaust leak isn't ? So maybe if I loosen up my oil filler cap my engine will sound louder and I'll gain 5 HP.

I'm not doing this to gain any power and the "leak" is so far down the exhaust pipe that it has no effect on the performance. Your oil filter cap analogy is just stupid.

Need to see some M2 mods to make it fit better, instead of making a car louder than it is fast...

you bought one of the last remaining authetic tte lip, complete with badge, tlc from Sewell Lexus, and my very fair pricing. I'm glad it went your build, because it could've easily went to someone with no taste

I did this exact same thing to a truck of mine when i was in high school and broke. But the truck was a offroad based truck.

NEVER disrespect a GS like that please. GS owners are supposed to things the " RIGHT" was not the Honda way!!LOL Just my 2 cents

Gotta love forums where you can bash on anything you want. Yet half the haters have nothing done to their car, or may not even own a Lexus......


Do you, and let the haters fuel it.

I think that every M2 exhaust fits slightly different. Mine was far more flush with the bumper than the one shown above. It was crooked because the flange was a bit off but I had the front resonator removed and the muffler shop aligned everything perfectly and only cost another 40 bucks.

I actually had a lot of stuff done to my GS this summer:
- Rims
- coilovers
-blacked out headlights
-exhaust
-VIP curtains
-Smoked out the lights
-Black emblems
-Trunk spoiler
-drilled & slotted rotors
-painted calipers + decal
-strut bar
- and more that are small things


Soon to come
-headers
-downpipe & midpipe (if I get headers)
-srt intake (still looking to buy one for the GS4 if anyone has one they want to sell)
-paint job
-CF hood
