Default Carson Exhaust is on *56k warning*

I had that exhaust for a few weeks now and I’m so glad that I got it. Today I did compare with a Porsche 911 turbo. After the mechanic killed the engine on my gs300 the Porsche came. The Porsche sounded higher pitched. The sound of the Carson is so perfect I could not wish for more. And the mechanic at Lexus was amazed by the quality. He had never seen a welding job that nice before. I will post a video later on. Just need to borrow a camera and a friend to go with it. Thank you Richie for pointing me in this direction and thank you Ken (LXOGOOD) for mailing me pictures and of course thank You Steve for answering all my question and sending this bad boy to Sweden.

Freddo, nice fitment..
Do you put any intake or some other things that can enhance sound of the mufflers?
Is that muffler only or cat back?
I would like to hear a sound clip please

No I don't have an intake or other performance mod.
The exhaust is full cat back.
You can find more info in this threat

I don’t have the mid-pipe though.

Mufflers look great on your car. One thing I was wondering is if your right muffler sticks out slightly more than your left muffler?

I also have Carson Tuned and I can see a slight difference.

Thanks,
Chris

Is it possible to get just the tips, because I like the round tips and they are like 4 inches.

No way to get the tips unless Steve does a special order for you from Japan where the exhaust is made. Seems a little much for just tips.

fboukari: Awesome choice bro...I'm glad Steve was able to get the exhaust to you way over on the other side of the world! Looks good!

Shweeeeeet! You mentioned a mid pipe, Carson offers that and the cat back pipes and mufflers? What would be the advantage of getting the mid pipe?

Congrats on your exhaust. You cannot go wrong with the Carson Tuned either for the GS or the IS. Quality is 2nd to none. Something you will never find on domestic manufactured bulk exhausts.
