Default Installing new exhaust on my 2006 GS430

Just got my exhaust and I am going to have it installed, hopefully it makes a little more noise that the stock exhaust. Got it for a really good price on eBay.

when you get it on would like to know your exhaust specs and hear a sound clip.

Its now installed and yes its just an axle back. I have no other mods at this point I picked up this car in December and only put snow tires on so far I havent had a chance to drive it yet but it sounds quiet at idle my tech took it around the block and said its a tad louder than he thought and he thinks it has a nice tone to it when you give the car some gas. I cant wait to go home haha

Congratz on the new Manzo exhaust, post up vid once you get a chance man. I'm waiting for my HKS to arrive at the shop either sometime tomorrow or Monday, it also punched a hole in my wallet for just an axle-back.

you should have ur installer "delete" the resonator (directly upstream of ur mufflers). i just had a tanabe cat-back exhaust t70112 installed in my '11 GS 460, yes that is the p# the 06-07 gs-430, it was a direct fit. anyways i requested that he replace the resonator with a straight pipe for a louder note. it is glorious
