Andrew, the Carson tuned mid-pipe is not much louder than stock. All it really does is help keep the airflow smooth without turbulence. You should get a few extra Hp. Here is a pic of mine...

Did you have to get the O2 simulator for you to have that installed? so that the ECU light won't come on.

how's the effect of not having mufflers at all? Like the exhaust leaves the pipes after the last cat. I know it will be darn loud, but what about in terms of hp? (losing lots of low-end but gaining lots of high-end?)

Henry, you know what... I would need to see pics of what the stock exhaust piping looks like under a GS400/430. I'm sure the mid-pipe is different from a GS300...
