Looks nice, but I prefer Borla tips, they are pretty sweet.

Default Hmmm..

Those are pretty damn nice...I'm not into the high polished canister look though..I wonder if they come in an aluminized finish..

I met up with the CL member with those Tanabe's today. It will be hidden inside as it is short. It's quite hard finding an exhaust for our car..

Two nut s@*ks that shouldn't be messed with.

I just finished polishing and waxing my Lex...it is so beautiful. My new neighbors said it looks like it is brand new. Imagine the suprise when I told them it was 10 years old.

The Tanabes are nice but I don't think JZS147 GS' look good with big exhausts unless you have a body kit like the Junction Produce kit...

The problem (IMO) with the JZS147's exhaust is that the tips come out too close to the middle of the bumper...I think duals look good only if they're on the outside or in the very center (a la Boxster)...

I'd have to do some Photochops to be sure, but I think that "hidden" tips would look nice (with the exhaust cutouts filled in)...basically, just some downturned tips behind the bumper (some German cars do this).

Another thing would be to do a set of dual tips out of one side with the tips at an angle and cut at an angle...kinda like this...



Another thing that I've seen in the VIPCar mags are mufflers that are very oval or flat....like the Junction Produce Type I (120mm x 80mm tip)....
