a single exhaust on a LS400 would degrade it. It would make it look like a 4 cylinder...might even be significantly slower too.

JP is sexxxxxy

that magnaflow muffler is the riciest fart can ever. I would never have that thing in the same room as a Lexus.

$700 is pretty extreme...

I got mine done...in total....

~$100 = 2 mufflers
~$100 = Magnaflow True X-Pipe
$170 = 2.25" Piping + Labor
~$65 = 2 Thrush Magnum Resonators
$50 = Tip

Said and done $485. Technically $435 without the tip. Shop around.


Right now my exhaust is a "true-dual" type of setup I am having the X-pipe welded in on Thurs.

Sounds like a V8 WRX as it is. Took some vid. Will try to have some up soon.




I guess at the end of the day all that matters is if YOU are 100% happy with your car... but IMHO those mufflers are horrid..... just being honest man..

Pics of your setup please. So basically you're telling me you HATE the round style mufflers aka 'fart cans' right? ...But you can dig the oval style mufflers. Am I getting what you're puttin' down??

Here's a pic I found of the exhaust on my old 91.

It's a "fart-can" kind of muffler, but I liked it cause it was so massive, tip was like 5" or 5.5"

I loved it. If you want that style go for it. It was a universal ANSA Silverline. I don't know if they are still produced check them out.

the "REAL JUNCTION PRODUCE" exhaust isn't cat-back unless you buy like 2-3 grand worth of center pipes and etc. which aren't the best flowing things in the world.

reminds me of my old LSportline exhaust, full SS rear section, damn thing hung low and scraped on everything, even after custom welding to pull it up, that's a reason i went full custom.

the previous owner did something with everything on the front section i believe. so mine is only the rear muffler bolt on after the resonator
