Default Gs300 electric exhaust cutout

Hey all lexus owners , here is my first thread in this Amazing forum

Yesterday Finally i got my electric exhaust cut out , and it was 3" so i did some work to it and to the pipe to fit my gs300 , cuz the gs300 exhaust pipe is smaller

but finally it worked Perfectly and i love it , and the sound is so much loud , it roaring now like a v8 muscle car

This is the one that i bought , it comes with the Y-Pipe , cutout , wiring and the remote control system



I will try to post a video for it working on my car soon

Feel free to ask me anything

I would love to see how long this will last. I've been thinking about picking it up for my gs400 for a while but i've heard a lot of head aches.

why should i lose power ?
when its closed , i didn't find a change in the power than before , even when its open
plus i am not racing it everywhere , and do the pipe size affects the power ?

and i am thinking about getting a turbo kit , but after a while

and i will try to post the video today

Still waiting on that video. I'm curious about this myself, as I don't want to shell out for a full catback and I'd be willing to take a slight power loss to scare some kids every once in a while.
