I have 07 gs350 and I have Tanabe exhaust. I like how they sound. But at times the engine sound overpowers the sound of the exhaust. I'm considering getting a Invidia midpipe and F-sport intake myself.

07 GS350 AWD with Tanabe and I think it looks great with my lip kit.

Try to listen to them in person if you can to see if you like the sound.

It's a low hum on highway speeds. Loud on open throttle. I have the same setup as @06whitegs but I also have the k&n typhoon intake

not to hi-jack but anyone with a gs430, can you post some sound clips? im still debating on putting a system on mine or not. I like a bit of purr but I dont want it to rumble, would still like to keep it a "Lexus" per say.

Tanabe is certainly on the quieter side for aftermarket exhaust. I have the Tanabe Medalion exhaust paired with Invidia midpipe and I can cruise pretty quietly but if I want to open it up I can do it whenever I want! Plus the tips are the best looking imo for the GS. Fills out the rear so nicely!
