LS 460 w/ Borla Exhaust??

I just purchased a Megan Racing axle back system with the mid pipe (2.5" from the cat back). I was on a website the other day that had a sound clip and video of the exhaust note but I can't find it for the life of me now. If you look up megan racing videos on youtube, there are a couple IS and G37 with that system and they sound the same. I like the sound and can't wait til I'm able to put them on. I'll post a video once they are installed.

If I post this right, below is a clip of a G37 with the megan racing exhaust. The other video I mentioned had the silencer removed which made the pitch higher. I like the deeper tone of this one...

hmmmm sounds like there is a lot of drone to me.... but i dont think you can compare the exhaust for the ls460 to these cars, they are completely built differently and have different engine sizes etc.

Has anyone ever fitted their 460 with Borla mufflers? Or know of someone who has? I know they don't make a package for the 460, but it would be nice to have that sound when I hit the throttle...
Also just found out my car will be recalled for the valve spring replacement. Not looking forward to its value plummeting once they pull the engine , but will feel reassured that it won't be a problem moving forward .

borla turbo xl...practically the same size as the stock mufflers. i'm thinking i should have went with the smaller turbo model for more sound (?) i'll see if my blackberry can get a sound bite.

im thinking of getting Megan racing mid-pipes by themselves and giving that a try but im not sure if that will spice up the sound of the car or just increase airflow (as advertised) ...but it might just be an add-on for the mufflers they have so idk
ive been wondering if we can get rid of the cats on this car and just run a straight pipe to give it that extra oumff... but im not sure if our cars have secondary cats or not and i think it might set off a few codes as well...i know the IS-F has secondaries... ....does anyone have any input on this??

sweet!! it says on the website that they recommend the XL's for v8's and it doesnt say much for the regular turbos...also can you share the dimensions that you got them in and the layout?? (im not sure what the factory ones are) thanks...

model 40665, inlet/outlet 2 1/2", specs 19" x 4" x 9 1/2", Center/Offset. i originally ordered megan axle back and mid pipe, but they took to long to arrive, so I cancelled. I believe those to barrels in front of the resonators are secondary cats. random technology make universal hi flow cats with sensor bungs, but who cares about codes….i have an idea. Why don’t you delete the resonator, keep the mufflers and install cutouts! there is a youtube vid with a gs460 with cutouts and it sounds like a beast, although the owner admits to using them only when dragging.

Exhaust
I have just fitted the surge speed exhaust to my ls600 hl it is really good, sounds like a v8 low cosy tone no drone in the cabin, when you accelerate it's there when you cruise it's not noticeable perfect if you'd like more details and a link to the site in japan with price send an email address unfortunately because I'm on an iPad I can't upload the link

yeah it definitely sounds good but they say that they are running a full exhaust so there might be some differences...although i like the idea for having electronically controlled cutouts which would be pretty sweet but i would be to lazy to wire it up anyways it will come out to the same price as the mufflers or something similar... also, how is the drone with the Borla cans? what would you compare it to? cant wait to hear it

sounds pretty good nice and deep at blip of trottle, just notice how much room there is in the garage for the ls, I can barely get mines in there, margin of error is close.
