There are some clips on YouTube that people have recorded to demonstrate the Lexus HKS sound. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lexus+hks

I think most Lexus owners have some level of "richness" to them. The average joe can't fork over $40K+ for a car.

Thanks for the post!! Looks good!! All you need is to throw some 19 or 20's and lower the car. Keep us posted when you do come around with rims/lowering.

Sorry, but I must be getting up there in age... While I can clearly see, from the before and after shots a distinct difference, it doesn't look like that much of a difference!?! I won't even get into exhaust...it's just some of this stuff we do...is it for better or worst? Aside from that, I do like the shiny chrome over the dull stock exhuast, but other than that, I fail to see much of a difference.

In all fairness, I'm happy for the original poster, because deep down, I know how it feels to depart from the norm and be/feel unique.

P.s. I know what aerodynamics and aftermarket exhaust/parts do, but...
