To me it sounds best to just exchange the rear most mufflers for exhaust tips. I ran 14"long and 4"x5" ovals. Sounds like stock but louder and more aggressive.
Isn't it amazing what you have to do to these things to make them moderately loud? Even my older GS400 is quiet no matter what I throw at it! Maybe side exit exhaust behind the front wheels would work?
Very nice, I could have sworn to have seen another video of this car with rolling shots but can't find it again. Do you the other video I'm talking about? it starts off with the car in front of an abondoned building.
I know I'm 5yrs late but it sounds good man👍 I just did a muffler delete on my 07 LS, goona do the resonators next, then see if that gets me where I want to be??
Nice job. Is the drone (8:00 min.) really acceptable? Some GS users suggest not to delete the resonator due to drone at low speeds... What is your opinion?
Thanks! its honestly not that bad. Ive heard some drone that was just plain annoying and loud but this one goes away after 40mph with this set up. So in my opinion this whole set up is perfect.

@@MRMAN-wb1tv ? you know your 2004 GS300 is complete different than the 2006 GS300 right? The 2006 GS300 is a 2GR engine that has direct injection only and lexus scrapped it within one year. It has to have it's top engine cleaned every so many thousand miles otherwise it risks stuck valves. The 2006 GS300 engine is not reliable and is not the 2JZ engine. The 2006 GS460 is the 3UZ block which is much more reliable.
Needs a true dual without crossover to sound perfect, for me at least. Lexus V8s really come to live as soon as you ditch the y- and x-pipes... Like this GS400: th-cam.com/video/fttHCcYdqvQ/w-d-xo.html Just gotta add two sport mufflers of your choice, one for each separate pipe, to quiet it down to your liking without losing that burbling V8 character.
People saying real duals dont understand the crossover actually adds low end torque. Really improves fuel mileage too because to get a car to move you must put your foot in it more without a crossover on. I couldnt believe all the low end power I lost doing that on my 69 Dodge Superbee back in the day. Huge difference!
@@harryballz6358 True. H-pipe is the best compromise if you want low end torque and sound. But, for me, performance isn’t important on a GS430 or GS400.
