The system that is offered here in the US was designed for the 400. I can assure you of this. The Japan spec unit does not meet the hardened street legal rule of the US. Also at the time of its inception no one was fixing up the 300. But in short the Power extreme was and is designed for the GS400. It will bolt up to the 300, but as I said it will be loud.

oh hahaa thanks for that, I knew it was designed off Michael's car but I didn't know that it's made specifically for the US market, i thought it was only testing to see if it's okay to use.

Any exhaust will be loud on GS300. (Borla and RMM on GS300 will probably be louder than GS400) that small displacement with no forced induction can cause some really low backpressure as well as loud sound.

Hey Kodai, how come Greddy doesn't develop a Evolution exhaust for the GS's (300 and 400/430)? Seeing how the tip comes out of the BOTTOM of the exhaust, it would give more clearance (as it was designed to do). They make for the IS300, but no GS models? Are they working on one?

I'd love to slap on Greddy Evo on my GS430

Oh, also, on the Greddy USA website, the PE lists the GS300 as well as the GS400/430 on the chart...

Here's a picture of the Evo exhaust for everyone else to see...

manary,

the listing is there due to the fact that the system does fit the 300. However, as stated it is very loud. If i were to sale a system to a customer it would be my duty to inform them of that. Don't you agree?

Also, GReddy will be working on a new system for the GS 400/ 430. No word on a system just for the 300. Not sure if the new system will be an EVO or an MX series exhaust system. Most likely it will be the MX sreies. This is due to the fact that on low GS the mufflers tend to scrap with the round style. I will give info. as i get it.

I hope this answers your questions.

Kodai - I completely agree, but the reseller may not know that little piece of information...hell, they just probably look it up on their price sheet and see that the GS300 is listed and just go from there...maybe the webmaster and DTP person can add a little note to the website/price sheet to let people/resellers know that the system on the GS300 is louder than on the GS400/430...

The MX would be great too....something that won't scrape...that's what I looking for (and one that isn't too loud!)...if you need another GS430 to test on, let me know

Greddy MX??

Kodai? Any eta on the release of a Greddy exhaust with a SMALLER canister and possibly a more sublte note???
Also, do you think the tip will remain 115mm, or maybe a bit smaller like 100-110?
The MX looks sweet, I will replace my Greddy PE with that if it becomes available...I dont have issues with my canisters rubbing currently, but thats only because I have remained so concious of it while driving.......They are way too low though...IMO not the best design...
Thanks, please let me know, Tiny
