Default Aftermarket exhaust for GS450h

Hey folks. I know our 3GS has a some solid options with (cat or axle-back) exhaust systems, but my hybrid GS tends to have slimmer selections (at least I believe), and also differing opinions due to the constant quietness & on/off of our systems. Being they've been out for a few years i'm looking for solid recommendations as well as what to avoid. I prefer more of a deep yet aggressive sound, not super ricey. I've heard good things about the Tanabe Medallion, and I personally think the F-Sport sounds solid but, hard to find. Planning on getting one in the next month or two for a DIY install.

Thanks!

There's no believing, the GS450h has very slim selections across the board. You're definitely right about that!

Default Ever find anything?

Sems like gs350 stuff fits gs450, part numbers seem identical....so old now whgo knows.

I have a new muffler which was pricey (oem) now the front needs a swap, lists for $2000++ which is insane.

"M2 Performance" was apparently making GS350 stuff but the BMW model seems to have made it difficult to find that company, if it still exists.

IF anyone knows any trickls to finding 3GS 450h front exhausts lemme know please!!

The "front" (a.k.a. midpipe) has the two catalytic converters, that's why it's so expensive.

Be aware that the headers for the gs450h are specific.

From my research GS450h vs GS350:
1. Headers - completely different, likely to clear the main traction power lines
2. Midpipe section - it *looks* the same, but the P/Ns are different, I don't know if the flange placement for the headers is the same even though the configuration is different, it is certainly possible. I have downloaded countless pics online to compare but have not been able to reach a conclusion...
3. End section with Mufflers - this section is identical to the GS350
