About the Borlas....
Yes, the sound level is acceptable and they are nicely built pieces, BUT, the fit sucks, period. I have them on my 98 and unless I restrain them somehow, they will touch the outer part of the rear cover opening. You can see this problem (although not as bad as mine) on the two cars pictured above. Other people have addressed this problem by heating, bending, and welding (mostly at muffler shops), but that's not what you should be doing with a $400 set of mufflers, IMO.
If I was to do it over again, I'd look elsewhere, even if I had to spend another $200.

Exhaust
I just put the L-Tuned Exhaust on my GS430 and before I did, I did the same thing u are doing, getting peoples opinions and the decision was L-Tuned. I'm glad I did because i didn't want one that was loud when u start it up but a little hmmmm. and once u get into the throttle, u know it's there. It looks great on there too. Hope this helps u in your decision.

Hey aLexus1,
Keep in mind though, these are just the mufflers, if you didn't already know. Just wanted to give you a heads up if you were looking for a full cat back system.
