Noise isn't that bad. It's almost like stock but a better tone. As far as the "dirt" issue, the tips do get dirty with exhaust. I have coated the tips with glass coat and it is easy to clean with a wipe of microfiber towel.

Not too much like the VQ sound...but it's a different motor. For what it's worth I smile every time my engine turns on after battery cruising. This is a very quiet/classy exhaust note.

Thinking about getting a used one for my '13 gs 350. Do you notice any drone at highway speeds or cruising at this point of ownership?

No drone at all! I still enjoy the sound of this exhaust.

Very nice exhaust... after years of BMW's I just got myself a 3GS 450h... what an amazing car, definitely feels faster than the 4GS... this mod is definitely on my list of mods.

Thanks for sharing!

Hey RL, which fogs are these? LEDs? I've got some Nokia HyperYellow halogen bulbs which were just a bulb replacement, but am looking for more of a JDM style bright yellow like my IS300 had!

Thanks

Sorry for the late reply... At the time those are PIAA yellow led. 12V 16W 9006 1800lm 2800k. Pricey but gives that JDM yellow. I have since switched to a cheaper switchback led for fog lights so I can be white or yellow depending on driving conditions.
