Well from the inside of the cabin... you can hardly hear it...

from the outside... its like a baby V8 on the loose lol. louder but not significantly... it's a reallly reallly clean sound.

it cost me 60$ to get straight piping welded on...

Your car looks good dropped bro. I like what you did to the mufflers. I deleted the resonators and kept the mufflers and like the new sound also. What rims are you swapping for? Post pics bro.

Slanted tip and angled up looks great. What size piping did you use?
Drop looks good.

Haha thanks guys...

as for piping it is 2.5 in... im going to put 3in tips on it though.

Ride quality is great... feels like a stock car...Lovin the Tanabes

Right now... I'm saving up for new rims...
I'm just going to put stretch tires on my OEM Lexus Wheels for the Stretch 'n poke look..

OEM= 225/60/16 ME=195/40/16 =D

until i have enough money... i've been looking at Work Euroline wheels...

basically looking at rims like these...



Anyone know where to get a stock lip for the Lexus? I've been looking for a while.

Awesome. That pretty much sells them for me then.

It probably helps that you have what appears to be OEM shocks. My car has GR2's on it, and even on stock springs, it's really not as smooth as I was expecting it to be.

make sure those tiny tires meet the load rating for the heavy lump that is the LS
