Shawn,
Try doing a search in this forum and you'll find several clips or offers to get them. Click here for an example thread I found looking for the word 'clip'..
One of the easiest things you can do is come to one of our meets in NC and listen to a few. There's one at the end of August and you can check out Borla, L-tuned, Apexi and likely other varieties.
Here's a link to the thread about the meet.

Exhaust sounds are pretty subjective, but my meanist I'm guessing you mean loudest and deepest?
I've never heard the GReddy PE or Evolution, but I think they ar the loudest, most aggressive. The Borla, LTuned, and Apexi WS are all about equal, and I'm guessing, from the most familar exhausts installed on GSs here at CL, then are next.
There are a few others like Tannabe (sp.?), Sebring, etc. that I am unsure about, and haven't heard them myself.
I think redgs4 has the Tannabe.

"Meanest" is rather subjective. Go to your local muffler shop and pick up a set of flowmasters, that's pretty mean.
Per Dex, I have the Tanabe Hyper Medallion with the resonators removed and I think they sound pretty darn cool. You really need to hear as many as you can side by side as there are many qualities that define the sound at various points: Start Up, Idle, Low, Mid and High RPM, and falling RPM.

I think I have the meanest sounding exhaust system of any GS. It has HKS Titanium mufflers with SRT custom fabricated SS piping and high flow cats. It is a "FULL" catback exhaust system meaning that the 2.5" piping runs all the way back and replaces the restrictive stock piping.

I have had the opportunity to experience a lot of different exhaust systems on the n/a GS. If you are looking into "off the rack" items, then I'd say that the Tanabe is pretty extreme on a n/a GS. I heard that on Chris Rado's (Turbo Celica Import racer) GS400. A close 2nd would be a tie between Greddy/HKS.
Ultimately, if $$ permits, a custom exhaust would be the way to go. What Mariusz has on his GS can actually be duplicated for an n/a set up. Just as Mariusz pointed out, it's a true dual 2.5" w/ high flow cats, SRT resonators and SRT canisters.
I feel very confident that +RWHP would be around +20hp.
PM for pricing.
Thanks.

I ordered my Fujitsubo Legalis R exhaust not to long ago. As soon as it gets in I'll take some MPEG'S of it on the dyno.

I recently just gotten the HKS Hiper exhaust. Like GS300RICH said, this exhaust sounds pretty aggressive on WOT. Trying listen to this sound clip at www.rodmillenstore.com .
I've heard the greddy evo, and IMO the HKS sounds a little "meaner"
. Never heard the tanabe , but from what I read, it has a very throaty sound to it.

What do you guys think my set up will sound like. I am going with the Blitz Nur Spec Dual Exhaust with the Lecs down pipe and SRT air intake with XERD stainless steel headers and XERD stainless steel race pipe on a GS300. I was told that the Blitz Nur Spec would give me a more "aggressive " sound than the Greddy PE at wide open throttle from the guys at intense motorsports.

nice. I would like to know how it stands up to Tanabe HM. Both are fully polished, and share 60ö mid pipes/100ö tips.
