Default gs460 exhaust mods?

If you remove just the rear cats is there any issue with cel or car running to rich,how much louder is the car? how about if the silencer before the mufflers is removed as well. any better throttle response?
I doubting there is much hp to be obtained from adding a complete new larger exh,so maybe just modifying the stock one will make it sound a little better and respond a little quicker?

Im wondering the samething, although if you go on youtube type in GS350 TRD. That video should help determine some thoughts you may have...

I wouldn't have them modify your existing exhaust like that because you will not be able to return to stock. If you search the forum you will see how mine was done, and since I saved all of the original parts, for $100 I can put it back to original form like most Lexus buyers want.

Nah it just turns it into a manlier car

I did have the throttle controller and that was fun to play with Can't say the car was "faster" but the response and settings sure where fun

0-60 no. 60-120 absolutely. But, most importantly, it sounds 100x better doing zero to anything. Even on my 911, the first thing i do when i get into the car is flip on the sport exhaust. Porsche always defaults it to off, which is a bit annoying. With my GS it's always on!!!
