It's because your car sucks.. sorry to say it.. I hate you! Your GS is slow and ugly!

BTW, what's going on later? Lets get everyone together and eat. I'm heading to the Valley tomorrow.

Talk to you later bro!

Gorgeous SC. Can you give us more details. Wheel setup/tires, suspension?

Also what kind of exhaust is that? Do you have closer rear end pics? The thing I hate about the 98 SC that I have is the tips are not far enough out, and doesn't fill out the oval wells well.

Appreciate the help.

Thanks! my setup is nothing too special. I have Ruff 18x8.5f and 18x9.5r with 235/40/18 and 265/35/18s.

Suspension is Eibach Pro with Tokico HP shocks with Tien bushings and swaybars.

I simply removed both resonators from the exhaust and replaced the mufflers with Magnaflow (painted Black) with 4" SS round angled tips. They fit the opennings PERFECTLY.

Headlights are Osram Ballasts and Phillips bulbs.

Nothing really special.

How do you compare this to the stock ride?

Can I buy this setup from magnaflow directly? I really need something to for the openings, and yours looked the best. Would appreciate some rear pics, before I place the order. Thanks again

I purchased mine through a muffler shop. Not sure what the model # was, I can try and find out. I would go this route as I'm sure buying them directly would cost an arm and leg. I took me FOREVER to find the tips I liked. I got them through a website I forgot. I see if I can find it again.

The ride is fine. Feels the same as stock on smooth roads but is quite a bit stiffer on bumpy roads. No tire rubbing at all and I didn't need to roll the fenders.

The exhaust setup cost me about $450 if I added everything up (including tips).

Here are some pictures

Thank you SO much for the pictures! Yours is the first car I saw, that fit the holes perfectly. I can take care of the mufflers myself. The tips are the main concern, because I tend to be pretty picky.

If you could find me the link/store, I would be eternally grateful.

Sorry for the questions, one last one. How did you black out all the Lexus logos? Looks great. Wondering how that will look on my new white SC.

Now that was a pain in the butt. I used an old hotel room key and a bottle of hot soapy water. I sprayed and scraped and repeated until they came off. Be very careful though, you can snap them if you are too rough. Also there are tabs that are used to center the logos.

oh yeah, I think these are the mufflers: http://images.marketworks.com/fullVi...4351/11235.jpg
