yeah doing rear mufflers on the LS is nothing... When i had mine you can only here it if i drive off slowly, but when i gas it you can hear the engine and engine only

anyway nice going dood, and sick video

Biggz- I was skeptical about having sports exhaust on LS but the sounds pretty good. It's quieter than I imagine at the idle.

Props to you for creative self shooting vids (was the camera on the ground?)

i just know i threw a full cat back tanabe med touring exhaust setup on my previous gs400 and it completely changed everything. much better performance but an annoying exhaust drone/note on the inside of the car that took me about 2 months to get used to. i guess the mufflers only dont add to much noise?? i wouldnt want that same sound on my ls for any amount of added performance. it does look hella sick on ur car. i just put on some chrome tips on mines last week now im super jealous of ur chrome mufflers, looks killer man.

Looks good.
I built a similar cat-back setup for my '03, which is a bit different due to the fact that the OEM exhaust doesn't stick out the back, but instead turn down. I'm planning to sell this setup at some point but haven't gotten around to posting it up.

LOL Good eye! They're not the usual wheel for an LS, but I'm weird I guess.
There's another photo of them on my '05 in post #9 in this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...lack-05-a.html
