Installing new exhaust on my 2006 GS430

Lead Lap
It wasn't MUCH louder, but when going down hills, the transmission would kick up a couple gears to like 2,500 RPM and it's drone a bit too much for me. Might be different for the 430, but I just prefer stock Going to save the loud noises for my future fun car.

Haha fair enough, did you even bother making a video of it installed or was it start the car and install stock exhaust?

Drones just a tad bit from 1000rpm to 2000rpm, after 2500 the engine note takes over. Idk if I should keep it subtle or go all out on invidia mid-pipe. While I'm giving myself time to decide, I gotta invest on my rotors and brake pads. I also still have to heat-treat, sand, primer, and paint this INGS lip that I got. Just never had time for it atm.

I think my Manzo was too quiet so my Invidia mid pipe will be here on Friday! I decided on the mid pipe because I can smell exhaust in my car when its running in park and someone has done exhaust repairs prior plus with all the rusty pipe I figured all new would be better.
Glad you've decided on a mid pipe, I'm as close to clicking the "buy" button. Lol, should be nice as the stock ones have bulky resonators that make the V8 quiet. If you have a gs350, it'll sound more of high-pitched g35. Regardless if it's a 350, 430, or 460... Upgraded exhaust is music to my ears. Haha enjoy and post up video!

Exhaust smell is from your new Manzo, its pipes and mufflers are just breaking in from the heat expelling.
