Looking to purchase exhaust for my 2006 GS430, but I'm debating between the tanabe medalion touring exhaust and the hks hi-power dual exhaust. Anyone have input of these exhaust or suggestions on other brands? It would be greatly appreciated, cheers!

ps: before anyone says do your h.w and research yourself, I already have. I just want to know everyones opinions.

Tanabe Medalion Exhaust all the way. The tips look a lot more classy and the sound is not obnoxious compared to the Hi-power. My 2 cents.

What mods are required to fit the Tanabe Medallion exhaust on a AWD GS300?
Someone with the experience please answer!

Should just bolt on, another suggestion is the M2 exhaust havent had a problem. aside from my MPG dropping.

Sucks that the car doesnt have true dual exhaust system.
Wonder if anyone fabricated one. I am sure it can be done. x-pipe and Borla mufflers would sound killer.

I have the Tanabe Medalion system with the OEM resonator removed. IMO, it sounds much better with the resonator removed.

With the resonator removed and the Tanabe exhaust do you get any type of drone in the cabin? i have stock mufflers on my GS430 with resonator removed and the drone is quite loud in the cabin at around 2000k rpm. i was thinking of just having a true dual exhaust put on but if the Tanabe would get rid of the drone i'd go that way?

how did you remove the OEM resonator?

i took mine to a local muffler shop and they put in a straight pipe

how does straight pipes sound? i've already removed my resonator and been thinking about taking out one of my cats. Do you have any sound clips? im trying to go for the v8 sound...

Do you have any sound clips? I would like to get more sound without drone as it is my daily driver.

To be honest, I don't notice much drone at all. The car really isn't all that loud inside the cabin. I didn't care for the sound of the Tanabe exhaust by itself as I felt it was hardly audible. Once the resonator was removed, it gave it just the right sound I was looking for.

I don't have any sound clips right now. I was asked by several members if I could produce a one, so I'll try to do that next week.

I actually wanna kno if anyone knows how to get an isf sound on an 07 gs350... I went to lexus lf orlando and they quoted me about 2000.. for the exgaust system and intake... Dont wNna spend anywhere near that type of money...i just want a more aggressive/deeper sound outside but not loud in the cabin... So i went to a local muffler shop and they told me that i can get a deeper sound changi.g the muffler but to check other gs' that have done it to see what brand i should go with... Has anyone made this mod?? If so any suggestions? Im really hesitant with modding any engine work, i stick with just the cosmetic, but i really want a deeper sound...

Please help! Thanks

I have the Tanabe exhaust and love the sound. Here is a sound clip I took when I first had it installed.
