The Blitz Nur Spec is frickin awesome. Outlet pipes look like space shuttle exhaust, too much for those that like the classy look. But God it sounds good. Slight performance increase, highway, but slight perfomance decrease from standing start due to lower restriction. Car runs smoother in general.

I have the L-Tuned. Don't have any pics yet. I have not had any issues with droning, which I always thought meant a reverberation in the cabin. However, there is a very slight buzzing sound. I applied a gallon on liquid sound deadener to the tire well and the areas between it and the seat back. This helped a lot, but did not cure it so I ordered some Second Skin for the rear seat back and bottom which I have not applied yet.

I always thought less restrictive exhaust cause loss in low end power in smaller displacement engines, but had never heard of this in larger displacement motors until I read a post above where someone had experienced this with their GS4. I think my car is more responsive feeling with this system. Also, that it is louder than stock b/c it telegraphs my presence so people will get out of the way when I am on the gas versus being surprised by me coming out of nowhere.

I'm surprised more people don't have the RMM exhaust. It's a great sounding exhaust. I don't know if there was a break-in period but the exhaust seemed to get louder, now it sounds even better but it's still not obtrusive enough to be annoying. The only problem is that I can't hear the exhaust note that well since I'm the one driving.

Question What Exhaust?

Had the HKS Hi-Power. But it was just an axle back. Then got the Carson Tuned full catback as a gift from the wifie. I have since added the S&S headers and a custom Magna Flow X pipe. Got rid of the resonators from the Carson Tuned. So if anyone has any use for this let me know. Its still so beautifull and intact with the flanges. Now only employing the Carson mufflers.
This set up sounds just awsome. Not as loud with the headers and all, suprisingly. Most of the power gained is in the mid to high RPMs. Exotic rumble sounds so mean.

I have the Borla axle-back. It's a bit too quiet and not as deep, but its much better than stock. I wanted to retain that classy look. The other exhausts looks too much like coffee cans for me to consider. It just doesn't look good for my car

Does Borla make a catback exhaust for the 2Gen GS300?
