I have just installed a LMS full Stainless catback exhaust. This exhaust eliminates the secondary converters with a H-pipe design for a true dual system. So this exhaust is not an axle back design. I really like how the exhaust looks and sounds. Build quality is fantastic. It sits perfectly center with the oem rear tail.
Now of course my reason: Simple, it is too agressive for my wife. She likes to drive my car too and can't take the tone of the exhaust note. Of course I can handle it and enjoy it. But well us married guys can relate that sometimes our opinion dont count.
The plan: If you live in the Bay Area and have an axle back exhaust. IE: Tanabe,HKS,Fujitsubo. And have been looking to go foward with eliminating the center exhaust then this could be your chance to do so. If I get nowhere with this offer then......
Plan B: I will simply swap out the center pipe with the OEM pipe/cats and connect it via a custom Y-pipe to my LMS rear mufflers. Because I like the LMS mufflers a lot! I can keep the LMS mufflers but quiet them down by making them into a axle back design. My point is I will be wasting the design of this exhaust by not using the center pipe which gives it an added power curve by eliminating the secondary cats. It will go into storage.
Any takers????

Thanks Ryan,
I know to be 20ish and single then I wouldn't be postin this ad.
It has a good growl to it and I love how you can see the polished pipes under the bumper. It reminds me of the greddy pips on the RX7's and the Supra turbos.
I think I will post some pictures of it here since people need to see it.

Would you just sell it straight up? Or if you dont have the stock exhaust i can trade you plus cash.

I'm in so-cal with an HKS Hi-power and stock mid and might be interested. Is it THAT much louder than the HKS? I don't think any future wife of mine would appreciate the HKS Hi-power in any car she has to drive =)

I have never heard the Tanabe in person. The elimination of the secoundary converters make this exhaust louder. So for sure it's much louder than the Tanabe.


Sorry smokis350, I have been waiting to get an exhaust system for a while.
So a trade is what I'm intrested in right now.

Meefer, the LMS eliminates the 2nd converters. Makes a difference in power but noise is increased. Full catbacks are always going to be louder. Unrestricting the rear converters will allow the exhaust pressure to flow faster with move volume. And the LMS is a true Dual exhaust

Thanks for the responses I got from the local Lexus owners
I just gave it a try and went with the plan B. A custom Y-adapter.
LMS sounds way different with the reinstall of the secound cats back in place.
It proves that the removal of the rear cats makes a great impact of the exhaust note!
The sound is a great 180 deg turn from before. Wow what a great note it makes now. Fantastic very mellow low tone note at low speeds and above the 2500 rpm range the note almost disappears to a fade away sound. I can really relate the exhaust to sound like a cross between a 350Z/G37 fading away to a M5 ish high pitch but much softer.
Happy camper now that I can keep the LMS look but not the LMS volume it came with.
Thanks again bay area CL members for your intrest.
