Best looking exhaust for the SC's is the stainless steel oval magnaflow rear mufflers....The best performing and probably the loudest would be any straight thru circular muffler....Just my opinion and a few others as well....

The titanium exhaust will go on last unless I find a good deal....

lol, i said it's overkill but lookswise it gas grown on me and i've got nothing but compliments on it. A dual 80mm with H pipe ricer though? noway....this thing is intended for some serious flow. Phenix power is putting out some serious HP numbers with this exhaust.

I would rather stay stock than put a magnaflow on my car....i agree that the oval tips fit the car nicely but magnaflow on a lexus? that's like taking a supermodel out to dinner at mcdonalds.....

I've said it before and i'll say it again though, the "Best" exhaust for the SC is the Amuse titanium. Amazing quality, amazing looks, and amazing performance (power and weight savings)....seriously, nothing even comes close to their exhausts...there's nothing to debate...

You've spoken the truth. The magnaflows don't sound good and i really can't see the appeal to them other then price.

Nothing beats an HKS, Apex'i, Trust or RS*R exhaust, i love how Amuse sounds though, i almost got one for my S2k.

I said the Magnaflow stainless steel oval mufflers fit and look the best on the Sc's in my opinion..., I didn't say they sound or perform the best....I am running Megan N1 mufflers on my SC and they scream at high rpm's and just a little deep rumble at lower rpm's..When dating I just don't hit the gas... Quietflow mufflers is option for a little more performance and no noise..

if your taking out supermodels any chance you can hook me up with a supermodel ...Actual on second thoughts too good is no good, talk about high maintenance....

Battle of the tiggle bitty exhausts

If it were a choice of only magnaflow or megan, i'd rather have a magnaflow over a megan anyday. That's just me though. If magnaflow is McDonalds, then megan is surely Top Ramen (but definitely not japanese). Both bad for you, both cheap.

Thank goodness there are other quality choices for exhaust systems on the SC.

I like quiet exhausts that aren't embarassingly loud or gaudy. I don't think many girls appreciate an obnoxiously loud car either...I know mine doesnt (competition perhaps? hehe jk jk)
