Exhaust For 99 GS 400
Just got my Lexus a few days ago so bare with me.... Well, instead of replacing the whole exhaust I just want to do mufflers with some nice chrome tips.... I'm going to check L-tunedparts.com to see what they have...
I don't want anything that sounds rice!!!! I want something that sounds good when you give it gas and driving on the freeway etc.... I don't want alot of interior noise in the car when driving..... Just something thats basically not to loud but a little deep. ( bad explaination)
Thanks again tmf

1. you have a v8, nothing will sound rice. i dont even think gutted cats will sound ricey.
2. Mufflers tend to drone more than a full exhaust, at least in my experience. my friend with only mufflers has a drone in his car that mine didnt have until i started cutting things out. but if you still want to go mufflers i believe HKS and Blitz are mufflers only.
you may want to try carson tuned or borla i think is also pretty conservative.

no drone is a constant humming sound when youre cruising. for some people its really annoying so its up to you.
set up a meet with some of the local florida members. a number of them have exhausts. i dont know what you consider to be too loud so its best for you to hear for yourself.

Best thread for you is the exhaust competition

That's a big thread, so here is a direct link (for you chose the v8)

Here are some others to consider while you're shopping (searched for 'exhaust sound clip' in the GS forum).

Forgot to say thanks earlier for that post... I read the whole article and it sounds like that may be the one...Where can i order that and can i install it myself. I like how it is a section exhaust and not the whole thing.. I don't want to void my extended warranty............thanks TLW

can you swing a wrench at all
if you can ...i d say its pretty easy
it all really depends on your skill level
just remember to use new exhaust gaskets
and if you need a hand when you do it PM me ill give you my number and help you walk thru it
