They're shiny and they came in today *INSTALLED*
Im finally getting rid of my ebay cans. Hopefully I'll have time to get these installed tomorrow and throw you guys a soundclip.
Initial drive : It's about 50% quieter than it was with the ebay cans. You can really hear it after 3k, even with the 2.5 full piping it's equivalent to an axleback system in tone. Very mellow at idle and cruising rpms.

At the forest preserve meet I had the full exhaust setup with two ebay cans that I never liked. 2.5 from the manifold, no resonators. Now i'm going to run the two maggys and possibly a high flow resonator where the midcat used to be.

even though I'm not talking about my SC but for my GS (hoping that doesn't make much difference in the exhaust config...) I have only the Magnaflows in the rear section only(I didn't do it). I was wondering if I were to delete my resonators in the middle but keep the cat: how much more will I hear. I love how my 1UZ idles in the garage right now (very very low hummmm) but nothing exciting to hear under a tunnel
I tried to search in youtube, everyone is running something else like borla, l-tuned, etc. Maybe you guys can give me a key word or user name to search under?? I'd like to know how it sounds like.

so both of you have the similar set up that I might be interested.

I'd like to know how it sounds like.I will post up a clip one of these days, it's hard to actually hear what it really sounds like from a video though. It's hard to describe, just a very clean sound. Throaty but not really loud. I liken the sound of my SC400 to a cross between a G35c and an Astin Martin V8.
Here's a couple Lexus V8 with some Magnaflows, the first one sounds a little raspier than my setup though...

This one sounds pretty similar to my car (this car is effin' sweet by the way)

Having trouble finding a 300 with no resonators/cats w/Magnaflow but there's a few 300's of different models on there with Magnaflow. I searched youtube with "Lexus Magnaflow".

Ahh.. Get it right bro. These are not "Ebay Cans", but they are Magnaflows! The Ebay Cans are ones made under the lowest possible cost in material and workmanship, and usually have brand names like Sport JDM, CX Racing, JDM's, etc... They look good from pictures, but when they arrive at your doorstep, it's too late. 
and did you use any hangers by the tips???

But it should work decently well for what I paid for it. Great looking mufflers. And I like the badging too!
