Default Does this exhaust stick out too much?

I bought the Team Lexus Borla exhaust off someone in the Classifieds section.
It sounds amazing.

The exhaust sticks out a little bit but you can see the Team Lexus logo on the tips.

Would adding a GFX lip fix this?

Sorry, just got back from a road trip my car is very dirty.

The rear GFX lip would surround it better and it would only stick out a bit. I say get it and your car will look nicer too! Check Sewell prices

yes a gfx rear will help. if it's still too much you can always get a vertex rear.

Most definitely sticks out a bit. But a rear lip kit will solve that problem. Exhaust looks good.

How does that Borla sound? I never heard of team lexus borla. Is that a straight pipe muffler delete exhaust? I had the borla carbon fiber catback for the Gs400 and it sounded so mean and real loud, it had no mufflers.

An exhaust made by Team Lexus (with Borla?) and there are limited quantities made maybe in the single digits or this is the only one (I'm not sure).
The exhaust has Team Lexus logo etched on the tips. It is an axle back exhaust. It is loud when you floor it, but can be quiet if you are light on the pedal. I've heard it kind of sounds like an HKS but i've never herd an HKS so I can't verify. I'm guessing it's quite rare.

Sounds great, it is pretty loud at times.
It is an axleback with very small mufflers.
Sounds mean though

I'll keep my eyes on the classifieds for an GFX lip.

GFX rear lip FTW! the exhaust sticks out a little too much for stock rears. if you slap the GFX rear on, it will look a lot better!

Yep too big! I think adding a rear lip like the GFX rear would make it look much better!
