The TOMS Full titanium system looks pretty interesting as well and its half the price of a NOVEL, but not so sure of how it sounds.

This maybe a long shot, but for anyone that has installed the NOVEL system on their GSF. Is it possible to get the same sound by just installing the NOVEL headers only? Or does the sound primarily influenced by the Cat back version? Trying to see if getting the headers or Cat back would get me the same sound as a Full system.
I posted a clip of the Novel headers with stock exhaust...Post 73

i did a muffler delete on my car and it sound ****en *****in

here are some video clips

Hey brotha,

First off, your GSF YouTube Videos are awesome! I’ve watched all of them and found them very insightful! One of your videos showcases the muffler delete job you had. From what I can hear, it sounds amazing and wayyy better than these $1500+ exhaust systems out there. I’m thinking about doing the same thing but have a couple questions before I pull the trigger. 1) Does the car drone at cruisinspeeds 45, 60, and 70 mph? And 2) If your phone is hooked up to Bluetooth, when you talk to people, can they hear the exhaust in the background? I’m constantly on phone calls for work and use the Bluetooth a lot, but am worried the deeper note will be too loud for phone calls. 3) what size pipes did you use- 2’, 2.5’, or 3’ in?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Best,
Anthony

When are you doing the rest of the install on the NOVEL. Would love to hear the full system.

Anybody here have the Tanabe Touring Medalion ? I think it sounds nice in this video clip.
Slightly more aggressive than stock and made by a company that is known for quality products.

Novel is nice but too pricey for an exhaust system. I'm sure if people can afford it, it would be a popular choice here.

before I had the full exhaust system I had the resonator delete done and it was ok, no drone. Can't say about the muffler delete though.

Would like to get some input/opinions from others members so I know what my options are (without breaking the bank) and the best way to go.

I do not mind Mixing and Matching parts (Exhaust/Mid Pipe/Headers) as long as they all fit. From looks perspective i like the Oval Factory tips and would like to retain a similar look (Do not like round tips)
I have a 16 GS-F. I took it to my local muffler shop and had them delete the mufflers. Sounds f-ing amazing.

Sounds outstanding, I would be worried about drone in the car with any exhaust mods. Drone is not acceptable and makes for tiresome driving. keep volume levels the same inside and no drone and that's a winner...

I have videos of the actuals Toms GSF axle back from their car in Japan.

I'll compile a Youtube video.

Well... I don't think it makes it black. But my F is black and I get it washed at least twice per week. I do notice some black inside my tips if I go a week without cleaning. I drive the hell out of mine though (always: sport + and track mode).

Drone: very subjective. It does have a drone for sure but for some reason, my GS F drone doesn't bother me. My wife has an Escalade that I had a Magnaflow muffler put on and that drone will drive you up the wall.
