What is the best exhaust system for the LS430?
Hello guys,
I was thinking of adding a pinch of sporty-ness to my LS. So I thought why not install an exhaust system.
Thought I'd ask you guys about this and see what you think.
Maybe like, Corsa or Magnaflow?
Will those even fit?
Thanks in advance.

Nobody really makes cat-back exhaust systems. The whole system is made very well and is efficient. If your looking for just a little volume Borla would be my first choice. Magnaflow and Flowmaster as well. You really will not get any HP. Headers is really the only decent improvement under forced induction. But still it's worth having a piggyback system for the ecu to go with the headers.
There is just not really any easy mods for some horsepower. The exhaust would be maybe $1500 with a custom tune. And that's for potentially 30 - 40 hp. Probably about only 30 and 25 of would be headers and tune.

I just wanna give it a sporty sound. Like those SRT8's, 300C, Charger and Challenger.

I did a 2.25 inch Magnaflow X-pipe with no resonators or mufflers and it sounds like a GTO or Corvette according to my friends.

I appreciate all the replies. But unfortunately I'm a noob when it comes to exhaust systems. I'll try to remember or write down what you guys said and take it to a shop.
Meanwhile it would be great if we can hear examples from what your cars sound like now.
Again, I appreciate all the replies, thanks for helping out.

The little **** ant aftermarket firms do not have the 100's of millions of dollars in R&D budget to engineer anything remotely in the league of what Toyota has engineered for your car. I have tried many times to "improve" a Lexus/Toyota exhaust, and all I ever end up with is regret that I ever screwed around with it. Bad design, bad fit & finish, unreliable, less power rather than more, failed emissions, too much noise and crappy fuel mileage tend to be the results!
As Louis C.K. would say: Sometimes, though, it takes touching the hot stove in life a few times before we learn "Ouch, I shouldn't do that!"
