I purchased the exhaust from another GS400 owner who installed it for like a week and didn't like the sound. It was too loud for him. It sounds great to me. The perfect aggresive exhaust for me.

I think you should try other sources I know you can purchase this new from sites on the web, you just gotta look, try typing in "Lexus GS exhaust" in Gogle shopping. Good Luck

Did you just do the axelback? And will a gs3 exhaust fit on a gs4 with just an axelback? I just got this car Sunday so I have some learning to do

Update 03/09/12:

here's a couple of photos of the car being prepped for paint.






The car is painted now. Didn't have a chance to snap pics as they were color sanding the car and the parts. I'm told I could probably have my car later today or tomorrow. At this stage I don't want to rush it since I've waited six months to get it back (kept adding mod after mod, it's a disease I tell you) i'm sure another couple of days will not kill me. I just want to drive my car already! As soon as I get it back I'll post pics. Hopefully the finished product will be as awesome as I've envisioned it in my head.

I was hoping to get the car today but they're finishing up and I don't think today will be the day. We're shooting for Monday now, don't wanna rush them, they gotta buff the car again, still put it all back together. Here are a couple more updated pics

Car is done! I haven't had a chance to snap pics but the body shop did and posted them. They posted GS3 but it's a 98 GS4.
