Drool...
same as you ron, I'm not totally sold on the meister exhaust. May try to hunt down something else once all my cf projects finish. Can't wait to hear yours to see what it sounds like. I'm sure it will be nasty.

I love what you do. I need to try to get some good pics of my car up as a number of the things I've done haven't been chronicled yet.

That hood is sweet! But out of my price range... Most carbon fiber hoods are under $3k (I even see some under $1k). I don't know why Lexus has to price theirs so high.
The Meisterschaft Axle back is just right to me. It's loud enough to be heard, but not obnoxiously loud. I do close the valves when I park it at home for the night though because the cold start is rather loud with them open. I even left my stock resonators in the midpipe and don't plan to remove them. I doubt that I get the gains of replacing the midpipe with the LSR. But I don't want it any louder. I can still feel some gains though. I see that you also did not use the valves. So I'm guessing that you always had them open. You could have closed them and seen if it was more tolerable... I'm just saying. I might be upgrading to the Novel system myself. It's more in line with the sound I would like. But again, that price is a little absurd.

If it weren't for the complains I'm getting in my neighborhood, I'd keep the exhaust.
Anyways, just spending the morning taking the meisterschaft off, making way for the new exhaust! Due to show up tomorrow along with the CF hood.
