You have the SS Toms axle back correct? How’s the low speed low rpm high gear drone? (Typically in town slow city driving scenario)
i find that to be the absolute worst for drone with my ppe setup. Highway cruise it’s actually not bad at all. But slow speed stop and go it’s quite obnoxious. Wonder what your experience is like with stop and go city traffic?

Drone noose is awful, bought the car and it already had full ppe exhaust. Need to figure out a solution for this....any suggestions? Pic is of the setup.

Damn two straight pipes, the drone must be obnoxious. If you like the sound, maybe get a muffler shop to weld in some resonators, but no guarantee that will get rid of the drone (might reduce it though). But personally, I'd just get another exhaust, trial and error in a muffler shop can be costly.

Ooof... Start with mufflers, I have the Tom's SS and love it. If still drones, then get OEM midpipe (too quiet IMHO) or A'pexi resonated midpipes, which is the setup I have and it sounds glorious, and drone free

I have a Greddy axle-back exhaust laying around hardly used.
I can let it go for a very good price.
Shipping might be an issue as I live in the Middle East

I’m still torn on exhaust setups too. I’m not too sure if I want the Apexi resonated or non resonated midpipe to pair with my Tom’s SS axleback. My GT500 is pretty damn loud, but I drive my GS F everyday. Lol

Resonated GSF midpipe.

Thats our best selling midpipe with the toms.

Default Ppe midpipe to stock exhaust.

Quick question for someone who might have more knowledge in the exhaust then me. If I got a ppe midpipe on my Gsf, does it bolt directly to the factory catbacks mufflers? Appreciate the help in advance !

It should be designed to fit with any axel back exhaust.

here what's currently on. Just trying to out stock catback on. Hoping it fits before I get Lexus to send me a pair of free stock catbacks.

Even if you put stock catbacks on, someone will need to install the proper flanges so they'll work. That set up as it is today, will not work with any aftermarket exhaust meant for the GSF.
