Default GS430 Exhaust questions

Hi

I need to fix my exhaust, it is too laud, (probably It has a leak).

What can you suggest:

1) change to "X" exhaust or keep "Y"?
2) what is the stock size? 2.00'' 2,25''?
3) keep stock size or bigger will be better? (better = performance will be better or the same, not worse of course
4) what is L-Tuned size?

btw I don't have catalysts

Stock :



And "X" I mean something like this one:



or:




Thanks

I don't understand what you are asking. Do you actually have a hole/leak and do you know where it is? Or are you asking about an alternative setup because your car without catalytic converters is louder than you had anticipated?

I removed catalysts about 6 months ago - and after that, car was running fine, and the sound was also ok and not too loud.

but since few weeks car is much much louder, I don't know where is exactly the leak yet, but if I need to fix it, I would like to know if "Y" is better than "X" or not and what size should I use.

I'm asking because one of my colleagues has X and the sound is awesome,
With the "X" he also ran in about 5.1 seconds to 100 km/h

So I think, X is better than Y, but what size is better? 2.0 or 2,25'' ?
