Let me get straight to the point - NO

You are driving a Lexus, not a Civic. If you want inexpensive yet still good, go with a Magnaflow 14829.

Check the classifieds... I saw a Borla not to long ago for sale... i had that particular exhaust and it was great.. I sold it to get something a bit louder... Do a search and tons of info comes up for GS exhaust..

I say hold off on until you have some time to really research and compare the different kinds of aftermarket mufflers and tips. Dont be in a rush to get something, especially something that may be inexpensive and not do the GS any justice. I was the same way in the beginning, and was lucky that i waited...I did more research, and found what I wanted, used and for a good price. Check the classifieds section regularly, as there is an always an aftermarket exhaust going for sale at some point. Good luck

Indeed...

If this were a civic or integra, than by all means go for it.

But your in a lexus. Time to step up the game. Gotta spend the cash if you're going to roll with the big boys.

As one of the founding fathers of the Magnaflow 14829 for the GS, I say get the Magnaflows instead of that Pepboys exhaust system.
