The Blitz NUR-Spec axel-back exhaust does not clear one of the TOM`s 6-piece links on the 2001 GS430. The pipe diameter is too large, and the link bolt cap is about 1.5" taller than the bolt. It will fit on, but it is constantly rubbing and will grind when accelerating.
I'll have a picture up tomorrow.
(edit) - Someone else already mentioned this problem previously with a different exhaust manufacturer so this is definetly a known issue.

ok i don't have pics of the "problem" with the 6 links together with the WS exhaust, but it's on one of the bent, where one of the link end is too "big" and it will hit and raffle against the exhaust when moving. same with the other exhaust, usually it's one of the bent hitting part of the links
i am blaming the piping on the exhaust being so "thick"

You can install 4 of the 6 pieces, the link closest to the rear of the car is the problem. You could purchase it and install the 4, or shave the last piece down.

yep...i had the same problem. we had to make mods to the pipe to make the six piece suspension rods fit. when they re did the exhaust piping they just dropped it down about 1/4 to 1/2" to make it fit.
