Exclamation GSF Exhaust options

I am considering getting an Exhaust for my GSF. Do not have the funds for a FULL system (Headers, MidPipe & Exhaust) so hoping to do this in three parts. Thinking of starting with the Cans, then mid pipe and last headers (as they are the most expensive)

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)

If you're happy with the sound levels of your car, you may consider replacing or adding on tips only. Otherwise, replacing the rear section is your next option.

I'm leaning towards the "GReddy Supreme SP Exhaust" but want to retain the factory tips.

Does anyone have this system, and if so is it possible to retain factory (oval) tips. I don't like the round tips.

Budget is going to play a huge role...Because I can think of three companies...They range from Novel to TOMS to Meisterschaft. For sure Custom...Good Luck...

if i were you i would not get the greddy system it is a waist of money. My buddy with his gsf got the axle back and i heard it multiple times and its so disappointing!!! its only just a tad bit louder then stock, so little difference between the two that if the greddy didn't look different then the stock i would never know he had a axle back on his car.

Going cheap or quality? Are you looking for increased decibels or a different sound?

Personally, GHaus is my pick for exhaust. Novel if you want that "exotic" sound. Both are "pricey" for a full system.

If you want to go cheap, go GReddy...

But as they say, you get what you pay for.

The LC500 sounds pretty amazing stock...wondering if we will be able to do a muffler retrofit with used examples as more of those guys go aftermarket.

Just rethinking and now considering to wait and go with a full system. The NOVEL is the BEST sounding (sounds like a V10) however it is the MOST expensive. Seriously $11K for a full system?

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.

Toms only comes in axle back.

Novel full exhaust is not $11k, unless you're talking about headers too.

I'm putting in an order for a midpipe + axle back exhaust for a customer in CA. Might be able to save on shipping costs for you!
