Many Thanks to local member "a6s" and his 2013 GS350 in Nebula Gray Pearl.

Special Thanks to the Exhaust Engineers over at PTS, as they once again truly delivered an excellent system.

Awesome Joe... That sounds great, do you have any dyno chart yet? When will your exhaust be available for purchase bro?

However, I am sure member “a6s” will be able to give us all some driver & passenger feedback..

But from what I already know, there shouldn't been any drone that makes its way into the interior cabin of this awesome Lexus.

I did get a handful of WOT (Wide Open Throttle) passes and I can really tell this GS responds nicely to the added power.

With the fabrication now finalized...
Sometime within the next few weeks, all of our fixtures will be made to spec. off the 1st prototype system on this car. From there we will begin to manufacture each mandrel bent system here in Southern California, in preparation of the first GB that will be offered on Club Lexus by Carson Toyota / Lexus Parts...

There will be a second version of this system offered as well.. More details to come on that soon.

Thank You

~ Joe Z

Default accentuation without overstatement

None encountered with this system. I was able to maintain phone calls effortlessly over bluetooth . Callers said they did not hear anything out of the ordinary on my end. The hardest part was to keep the car under 80mph. I was able to carry a normal volume conversation while keeping accelerator held @ 70mph with no audible inconvience. When in manual mode using the paddle shifters you can really feel the difference.
