Default Just Installed HKS Mufflers, Top Speed Pro 1 Y-Pipe, and Megan B-Pipe (PICS & VID)

Hey guys I haven't updated any pics on the GS since I got it a couple months ago and put on the coilovers, since then I have tinted it 15% all around and installed the HKS mufflers, Top Speed Pro 1 Y-Pipe, and the Megan B-Pipe so here's a few pics to share.


First here are all the parts, they each DID come with all the needed new bolts and Gaskets..



I couldn't find for sure if the Megan B-pipe came with the header gasket or not when researching, but it did come with it.



Here is the Megan next to the stock B-Pipe:



Here is the Top Speed Pro 1 next to the stock Y-Pipe:



And here is the HKS next to the stock muffler:





Here goes a couple shots of the exhaust assembled:





When I had it laid next to the car it looked way to long, it sure didn't look like all that was gonna fit up under there.



More pics to come once I sort though them.

I like the picture comparison between stock versus the upgrade.

That midpipe looks familiar. Oh wait....I designed it for them as well as some other Lexus parts lol! Not promoting, just saying heh.

Keep in mind, you will have to remove that center muffler support/brace piece. It's the one that goes under the y-pipe. It doesn't actually touch the piping, it's just there so incase you forgot to bolt up the piping all the way tight and they manage to work loose, the brace is there to prevent you from dragging the mufflers on the highway. I spec'd a 3" inlet in that area whereas the stock one is around 2.5" or so. Either remove that brace or if you really want to keep it....put a few washers in-between the brace and use a longer bolt. This way you space the brace about 1/4 away from the y-pipe and it will clear. I don't think this was mentioned anywhere on their description.
