Ok I made a quickish video for the exhaust. It was again cold and very windy making this project difficult. I will do a better one when the weather is more forgiving, I'm hearing rumors of 40 degrees in MN next weekend hopefully you can get some idea what its like. So far I really enjoy the exhaust.

Default manzo exhaust

Thanks for the sound clip I will be installing the same on my 08 gs460 and that is exactly what I want just a low mellow sound.Only 1 question if I may do you hear any cabin drone at hwy speeds?

I actually made a video of that as well but I havent watched it yet. Everyones ears are going to hear different things. I thought the factory exhaust was actually loud for what I expected, I noticed the factory exhaust at hwy speeds if I didnt have the radio up. The Manzo exhaust is louder for sure and I hear it at hwy speeds but none of my passengers have said anything so I imagine its not very noticeable unless you are listening for it.

this is one of the best exhaust video ive seen tested for the 3gs Lol. Everyone is usually just revving and not getting drive by's and sound at a distance.

sounds pretty good. I'm still contemplating if i should get it since it may sound different on a 350.

Ha thanks, just wish the weather would have cooperated more. you have a 350? I assumed you had the V8 this whole time! Now I am curious how it would sound on that car.

Wow that HKS looks really different, don't think I've seen a muffler look like that. Guess its your turn to share a video so we can hear that one!

Sorry if I missed it, but is this with or without resonators? Just ordered the same for my 460, so wondering if I want to remove them or not. Sounds great though!

My 430 is all stock up to the axle back. So yes the resonators are still there. Here's a Manzo on the 460.

Thanks! I saw that thread the other day and it pushed me to order it for mine Should be here Monday. Definitely going to leave the resonators on, both of your cars sound perfect!
