I've seen them for the first Gen GS and for the SC300/ GS400/SC400 but none for the GS300
So here you go....
Outside.wav - 0.95MB

How did you like/dislike the setup with deleted resonators compared to your other setups?

lots of droning? did you keep the axle back mufflers on?

First video works now. Doesn't sound too bad at all, but I do notice there's somewhat of an exhaust leak? Or maybe the axle back mufflers are shot?

Sounds fantastic.
Thinking about doing this on my GS4. Did you remove the resonators and pre-muffler or just resonators? Is it loud inside the car at crusing speeds?

Thinking about this on my 400 also...the two just upstream of the mufflers for now. I've heard a lot of "NO regrets!" and "sounds AWESOME", but of course that's all relative. There's people that think 4 subwoofers "sound awesome"; I don't.

It isn't loud at all. It's very quiet, unless you step on it. I deleted both the pre-muffler and the resonators. Here's a video I made. Sounds best if you listen to it with speakers that have bass.

Been busy! Really, I have a new torque converter, tranny cooler, and a set of headers... in my TRUNK. In the next week or so, these will be in and a tuneup, resonator delete, waxing, etc will be done!

The stock exhaust on the GS300 is really quiet. You have to rev atleast to 4K to hear anything. I do appréciate the silence, but a nicer sound would be nice.

Will deleting the resonators (keeping the mufflers) increase the exhaust sound while cruising (constant speed). I'd only like it to be louder at WOT.

No, it will not. It's the same as stock. Just louder on start ups and when you're accelerating.
