I was wondering how much did you pay for your custom exhaust? If you could list your area/state, exhaust specs( size, material, mandrel, press bent, pie welds etc), it would be appreciated.
I also have their downpipe and midpipe so altogether it adds up pretty quickly.
PS keep in mind alot of the labor cost comes down to the shops reputation. Your local exhaust shop that uses high carbon steel piping and bird **** welds are not gonna cost what I paid and most definitely not gonna cost what some of these newer more expensive cars exhaust systems cost because of how much more complex they are.
Also keep in mind that the price of aluminum, steel, and titanium always fluctuates. For instance right now Aluminum went way up so someone 5 years ago paid alot less than they are paying now.

I didnt take it personal man you had a valid point I am just trying to figure out a ballpark figure for me to get an 2.25 stainless steel exhaust with x pipe made for my 05 ls430, I really want one lol
If Tanabe is still making Lexus parts than I highly recommend going with a Tanabe catback dual exhaust. When I got my GS430 back in 2010 that was the first mod I did to it. In my opinion it is the perfect sound for a daily driver. Coupled with an SRT intake and chip it truly transformed the car. It is noticeably louder side by side with my stock LS430, especially on startup but driving around feathering the gas under 2k rpm most people would not even know the difference between that and a stock car unless they heard how silent a stock UZ is. But as soon as you punch it, there is no doubt how much different and how much deeper it sounds over stock. It has that great, deep, and smooth sound with no raspiness and virtually no drone in the cabin during highway driving.
its stainless steel as well and I’ve had it on the GS for over 8 years and put over 140k miles on it, winter driven every year in Chicago and lived outside most its life, however it still looks brand new without an ounce of corrosion or rust. I just make sure to polish the muffler and tip all around several times a year when it gets a Detail with either a microfiber towel and metal polish or some mild steel wool and metal polish if it’sexcessively dirty from months of not being cleaned. It has not aged at all.
Paid $70 for the "custom" exhaust on my 1999 Z28 Camaro. Had them cut the existing magna flow(it was aftermarket when I bought the car) muffler off the car. They welded in a straight pipe with a Yukon Denali exhaust tip that exited out behind the driver's side rear tire. Figured this car had a single exhaust from the factory, unless you put on headers and true duals, it was going to always be a single exhaust, I just hated how un-authentic that factory muffler was, had one exhaust entrance, split it into two outlets to make two tailpipes stock.
Camaro sounded awesome, like a redneck truck lol. Was pretty quiet when you fired it up, but if you stepped on it, it made some good/loud noises.
