GS3502014

Hello all...I'm a newbie to this forum, so I apologize if this topic has already been discussed in depth (please feel free to point me toward the right forum, if that's the case).

But, I wanted your input. I bought my 2014 GS 350 F-Sport almost one year ago...and I absolutely love it. However, one thing that I do not like is that it does not sound as nice as the GS-F exhaust at low/high revs. So, I was wondering if you all had a recommendation for an exhaust upgrade that would make it sound the way I want it to. I'm not really looking for a performance upgrade, just for it to sound nicer when I'm at low or high revs (I know...vain). Any suggestions? All I have seen on youtube that come close to the sound I'm looking for is the Joe-Z exhaust or the Invidia exhaust (here is an example video: ).

I also have a few concerns about adding a custom exhaust like this:
1. Will it void my powertrain warrantee (I have about one year left on the CPO warrantee)?
2. Will it cause reliability issues with the car?
3. Perhaps most important - will this cause the car to have an issues with failing emissions inspections?
4. What does a conversion like this typically cost?

Many thanks, and I appreciate everybody's input.

Awesome!! Your videos sound amazing...and it's exactly the sound I'm looking for as well. Could you link me to the product, or provide the product number? I want to make sure I order the right one. My car is a RWD.

Also, did you have the Lexus dealership install it, or did you go to an aftermarket shop?

Anyone know between the borla and joe-z axleback only, which is louder?

I like the sound of the stock exhaust on my 13 gs350 f sport.
(does the stock sound as good outside the car as it does inside??) because I love the sound...lol
do they pipe sound into the car?

Does the borla add any HP? and does it sound that much better than stock?

thanks guys

So I finally got around to having the Borla exhaust installed and I love it...completely changes the personality of the car when the exhaust sound is more menacing, haha. I've attached a video of the exhaust one day after it was installed (not a cold start video).

The sweet spot for the exhaust during driving is around 2800 RPM, which is when it sounds the loudest. I highly recommend it for GS350 owners.


Thanks again for the recommendation!

You’re very welcome. I also replaced the sound generator with an rx350 one to minimize cabin noise besides the exhaust sound.
