I'm curious to see the manifold ( headers ) design of the V8 compared to the V6!

^ the whole exhaust is replaced, and youll end up with one resonator on the midpipe... which you can opt to remove like i did!

is it just the cam sound,or is it a little poppy sounding,whats the internal size of the invidia pipes and the tananbe mufflers ? are they similar,Im thinking the car would sound a little better and have some depth at rpm with the cats removed or gutted.
opening up your exhaust with out getting rid of the cats doesnt do much for performance,My gs 460 is stock now,just finished getting it on the road.its kinda pathetic how little power this big v8 makes compared to many other yota motors,My tundra will eat this thing alive.its not even a contest with one of my bpu supras. This thing has to be majorly factory detuned. Im thinking of building a true dual with a hpipe 2.5 inch from stock headers back wiith hks dragger mufflers if they will fit,and a toms filter,hoping that will give it a little more off idle torque and sound better than the swish it makes now.

^ the invidia setup is catless... I think the sound is raspy/mild at high rpms due to the fact that it isnt a dual exhaust... i am thinking of getting rid of the inivida pipe for a custom xpipe and dual pipes to the mufflers.

raspy not being true dual could be the issue,Ideally id like to have a exhaust that you could hardly hear until you wot it in the higher rpms. Im guessing intake and exh are not going to be good for much extra ho,but prolly a good bit better throttle response and more torque feel off idle.

Just wondering if anyone ran this exhaust set up. It's cheaper than most, but not as cheap as the M2 or top speed exhausts

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the Top Speed exhaust. Will this fit an AWD gs? $380 sounds like a decent price w free shipping.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lexus-GS300-...#ht_1947wt_952

M2 is $300 but 80 bucks seems worth it for better fitment.

And is it just me or does the Top Speed sound like the Tanabe medallion or a tiny bit louder?
