It probably won't fit GS300/400/430. TOM's website is VERY model-oriented, so they separate every product by the applicable car. 161 V300 is there, not 160 S300, so no GS300, then no GS400 and 430.

alkattan - I see why not . From the pics. Bishop had ,the exhaust uses the same hangers as our stock exhaust . It looks like it would fit perfect .

The reason why the exhaust is not mentioned for our model is that because they were designed for the turbo model GS. I assume . You might lose a little back pressure on the low end but nothing to worry about with that V-8 .

But to be sure email Steve Ganz and ask him at Gonzo4u@earthlink.net or PM him here , his name is SUPRATRD .

I will also give him a call as i'm looking for a new exhaust system as well .

someone needs to confirm the fact that everything after the 1st cat is the same on all GSs/Aristos. Seems like GS300, 400/430, and Aristo V300 all have different type of header or something.

Plus the emissions of Japan and US are different, so maybe there are differences there also.

We need to know what's the same and what's different. For example TOM's just released the front pipe for V300s, but I don't know if they'll fit GS300/400s.
