Ah, I see, but the loudness of the exhaust scares the crap out of people in my town. Also makes my car seem a lost faster than it is which is funny to me, but I respect your opinion. I like being known that I am coming and would not change my exhaust for anything.

Me and my old neighbor have a resonator and muffler delete on our 430. I get compliments allllll dayyyyyy long, u won't regret it. If u have a 300 I would keep it stock until u have engine mods/swap if u have a 400/430 show off those *****, honestly straight piping my exhaust was the best thing Iv ever done in my life. It made my driving experience so great I burn oil like gas with no leaks.

I preferably MYSELF would keep it stock cause in my experience with my gs300, it was really hard to get the exhaust to not sound raspy, I hate rasp and it would remind me of the m3. I hate the way those e46's sound if they didn't have headers and exhaust combo.
I don't literally burn oil like gas, but I lost about a quart of oil in between my oil changes and I'm sure it's from my engine having 170k and from me bringing the car to redline at least 5 times on my way to work. I roll with my windows down and turn my stereo completely off just so i can hear my exhaust. whenever there are no cars and there is an open stretch, I will usually punch it to 60.

i'm sure it's different with gs4s and gs3s but i've got 341k miles and i don't burn oil at all.
but that aside, i got custom exause made by Andrey Sokolov (on Instagram he is ltwon1, i don't know his username on here). They're Vibrant Mufflers with aftermarket tips on them. they sound nice, though not insanely loud. I'm happy with them.

Yes, basically. Since I have a 98 GS300 I do not have the M option on my transmission, but I end up switching between the gears as I accelerate or decelerate. You have to be going under 15 mph to drop it into 1st gear. So I wait until I come to a complete stop and then take off going up to 5 rpms, sometimes I let it run redline to 6.5k and it sounds like it is spitting, with the exhaust, it sounds really awesome. I haven't had any transmission issues, so I do not think it is hurting all too much, 213K on the clock.
I wonder when the OP will chime back in here. Basically made a chat room for us all.

It is really not that big of deal, you guys are exaggerating this. I do not do it all the time, only when I want to "FEEL" like I am going fast because honestly that is the only time because stock is just not that fast. It is just all sound and I don't do it all the time. Also just because you don't do it doesn't mean you to hate on someone who does.
