Default My Borla exhaust installed

Took about 25 minutes TOTAL for the boys at Sonic MS to take off the stock exhaust and put on the Borla.

Rich deep tone, we will see how it will sound after it breaks in. I can care less about the HP gain, I just wanted more sound out of the V8.

I'll let you guys know by next week if the wife and kids hate it. If so it will be up for sale.

Sorry JoeZ, I had to go with Borla (California smog)

Here are the pics:

^^^^No this is the axle back system. AFIK, no one on any of the Lexus forums has the Borla cat back system.

Hey no worries.. LoL

This one you picked up is an axle back and ours is a Full Exhuast system replacement..
Two totally different products..

California Smog is overrated


Congrats & thanks for sharing..

This is the one I bought from Borla



http://www.borla.com/applications/lo...Section/11765/


So here's the deal I'm selling it after ony one day on the car. The wife and kids hate it and of course I will have to accomadate them. All my other cars are pretty modded out so I'm going back to the plush Luxury exhaust system. This exhaust is just too loud. If I was single and not married, different story

I'll post it in the for sale forum today. Please don't ask me for pricing on this thread because I don't want this to go off topic.

I can't believe it's that loud, then again yeah I can. Why not drive with it for a few weeks to allow it to settle and if it's still too loud post her up for sale.

Nope. It's posted in classifieds already.

Damn that was quick! I'm surprised your kids don't like the sound of it LOL. Shieet, I wish my dad drove me around in a modded IS-F when I was younger .
