Just purchased a 2003 LS 430. I'm thinking of doing some mods but I want to start with the exhaust. I heard Borla is very good. I want something to still sound aggressive but nothing too loud. Anything ideas?

Honestly all of those threads are pretty dated, a lot of those parts are discontinued or stupid expensive. I'm looking for an exhaust for my Sc430 and there's barely any options left. Probably will go custom if I do it with a valved exhaust or cut outs.

the previous owner of my LS cut out the resonator and muffler, I had a shop put on a straight pipe. car sounds beautiful, aggressive but not too loud. drone is minimal
only paid $300 for the pipe and labor but the resonator and muffler were already gone
