Thanks guys, feelin the love! I just wish the original owner invested in a clear braw for the car. After all the highway driving and such, it's covered in chips and scratches. Was somewhat disheartening washing and waxing her, because it just pronounced all the chips and knicks. Otherwise you don't really notice that unless you are looking right at it.

Swweeeet ride my fiancee misses it, the AC in our 03 Camry just went out yesterday boooo

Lookin good though man, i used to secretly call it "The silver bullet" lol

I'll definetly have to get another GS one day when i'm more mature, it was easily the best car i've ever had. I guess i sold my first two SC's so fast i didn't get to enjoy them enough, plus i couldn't pass up a clean RSP sc.

Maybe if money is better down the road, i can upgrade the wifey's camry to a nice 01+ GS

^Me thought you were looking for an economy car? This GS certainly isn't that X(. I'm getting close to having to fill her up again, probably sometime this weekend, and I'm probably going to average 21-22mpg out of it. If only there were some mod I could do to make it pull 25mpg on average. I did it with my mum's E430, which is an 00 with less mileage. Same engine size and approx same rpm point on the highway.

Very quiet actually, probably only a TAD TAD louder than stock. I rarely rarely push the car over 2500 rpm, so I don't really get a chance to hear it much. I know on startup you can hear the tone difference from stock to this one. It's only a catback if I'm not mistaken, so it's relatively nice. You can't really hear it on the highway at all.

Welcome to the GS section!

ac921ol, I've got Magnaflows (different tips) welded on to the stock axlebacks; resonators still in place. It's pretty quiet but has a deeper purr than the stock exhaust. Subtle but definitely noticeable when you get on it. If you go the Magnaflow route you can always have the factory resonators removed later if you want it a little louder.

lol when i sold my first 1jz SC i was going to get a economy car also, but i always realize when it comes down to it i won't be satisfied with any i had to choose frome, that's what the camry is for though i guess 30+ MPG on 87 octane!.

my SC averages 22mpg, yeah i hate filling it up, i'm sure the GS does seem like a gas hog after driving a avalon and a sentra for awhile i try to drive my camry most of the time, but end up taking the SC cause it's more fun.

actually it's like "Kyle Harty's" setup above, 14829 magnaflows welded onto the stock axle backs with oem resonators still in place. I was curious about removing the resonators, or just doing a x pipe, i always wanted it a little louder, but something is really nice about keeping the GS somewhat quiet and luxury as well. I didn't want to ruin that.
