One of the best looking exhausts out there IMO.. for both 2nd and 3rd GEN GS.. Fills out the bumper nicely..

The car looks and sounds awesome. Enjoy. I am sure you realized that installing and removing the exhaust system on the 3GS is easy so you easily switch if needed for any reason

Hey Tammer thanks. I did have to add about 2" to it so the tips would stick out further, fortunate for me I have a cousin who does this kind of work. I was quite surprised how easy it was.

Very nice indeed... so these pipes would fit the OEM rear bumper of the GS fine?

Looks very nice but I'm disappointed you can't hear it at all inside the car. I want mine to sound a little more sporty. Not loud but just a little audible inside. I don't care what people outside hear, i mod for me.
Looks great though.

thanks,
I should correct my previous statement, you do hear some growl inside the cabin when accelerating. I will make a sound clip and add.

Its kind of hard to tell from the vid, but is there a big difference inside between stock and these?

Unfortunately I didn't record the stock exhaust to compare but there is a difference. You can hear the car growl with a lower tone than stock. Stock was more of a higher pitch when you would accelerate. This gives it the deeper sound without being annoying.

It definitely does make a difference with darker tint, I have another thread regarding my body kit install and the before pic has the front window 35% tinted after picking up the car from the shop I went straight to a tint shop and had them do 20% and the after pics tell the difference.
