Default exhaust opinions

Guys- this is the first time I've ever posted anything, so if it looks like I dont know what I'm doing, sorry. I searched the daylights out of all the old exhaust threads, but I can't find what I'm looking for- on a scale of 1 to 10, what's the loudest exhaust for a gs430? I just put on RMM mufflers on and the tone is great, it's just not nearly as loud as I thought it would be. My next step is to remove the resonators, but in case I put the RMM's on ebay, what's my other alternatives that aren't so quiet? I listened to the clips from the socal competition, but I personally can't tell that much of a difference between them listening thru computer speakers. Thanks.

it's wakes up about 3000 rpm or so and it's sounds great, its just below that it is not much different than stock and I was hoping for a little rumble even when not getting on it.

I think the Blitz nur-specs are pretty loud....or if you can get a hold of a Greddy Power extreme...those 2 should be what you are looking for.

do you know if the blitz nur is cat back or just mufflers? also, was the blitz loud with the resonators on or off? Again, I listened to the socal clips and I have trouble telling them apart. I need to hear things live- otherwise its just not the same to me. Are most taking the resonators off regardless of whatever exhaust they're running? Thanks.

Actually, the nice thing about the rmm exhaust is that it's only a wee bit louder from stock when driving normal and has a nice sound under wot. However, I remember a post from another cl member (screen name Synergy) who had rmm and stated that he removed the resonators. To quote his comment "I removed the resonators and now it sounds throaty as hell! I get comments all the time on the deep sound it makes...perfect fit for the GS4 " Here's the thread:

DR G has the loudest exhaust I've ever heard on a GS in person... he has Greddy Evo2.

Another I've heard about that is very loud is the Borla Carbon Fiber Exhaust (have not heard it in person). This exhaust has not been made since probably 2000, but I've seen one in our classifieds a few months back.

thanks for the responses guys. I think I'm definitely going to remove the resonators and go from there. I like the sound of the RMM- I just want a lot more of it (I keep thinking of my old z28 with flowmasters)
