Hey guys, I just had my new exhaust installed. I purchased it from a seller on ebay in Dallas. It arrived looking awesome and shiny. I took it to the Pro Muffler shop yesterday to have it installed and everyone there was in aww of it's looks and quality. They said the material, welding, and design were all top quality (I hope they arn't wrong). Anyhow, the install was bolt on and very easy (took 15 minutes). It came with all the seals and gaskets.

The sound is very close to a M35 exhaust note. It is loud enough to know it's there and then some, but not so loud that people will think it's too aftermarket.

I would highly recommend this product if you guys are looking for a sub $400 exhaust system that sounds great and looks awesome!

That price makes this pretty hard to resist. What makes the Tanabe cost twice as much I wonder.

I dunno, I kind of hate the way it makes the car sound.

If my car started sounding like that for free, I would assume something was broken. :P

interesting indeed..it looks like the tanabe medallion

The brand. The name!
My GS with Tanabe sounds a little bit louder then stock exhaust.
There are a lot of exhausts which sound much worse. (louder)

Is the new exhaust strictly aesthetic (for eyes and ears) and/or have you achieved any significant power gain? If there is a power gain, have you dyno-ed (before and after)?

looks alot like tanabe, but tanabe's cans are a bit bigger i think

IronCobra

I have not dynoed the car but I suspect the gains from this, or any aftermarket exhaust, to be minimal. I honestly feel the tips are exactly the right size for this car (its not a diesel truck afterall). I do wish it was slightly quieter inside when in the mid rpm ranges. I suspect this is the case with any aftermarket system you install.

I'm one of those people who believe the Lexus engineers probably knew what they're doing when trying to squeeze power out of this engine. Exhaust, intake, and other minor engine performance mods do more for peoples egos than for real performance numbers. That being said, I suppose I have gained some single digit HP increases if I'm lucky. There's only so much back pressure you can free up before you start negatively effecting performance.
