Luckily I just happened to check the GB section an hour or so after the listing came out. I figured too that it couldn't last long so I jumped on it figuring I could sell them later if I changed my mind altogether or installed them and didn't like the sound. Haven't received shipping confirm yet, normally theycome via email and sometimes a phone call too. I agree that they will probably take a few days longer than normal because of the holiday.

Damn I hardly ever check the gb section and I missed out on this one. I've been wanting to get a new exhaust and that was a great deal. My loss but if anybody is unhappy with theirs when they get it and want to sell it send me a message, will price match gb price and pay the shipping.

I'm so upset about not getting in on that gb that I think I'm gonna get the OBX headers on eBay that I have been looking at for a while for the same price.

Default L-tuned Exhaust!

I got one coming and can't wait to install it! I will have to modify(extend) the pipes 2", due to me having the Lsportsline rear bumper, but it should look and sound pretty good! I can't wait!

Default L-tuned exhaust installed

Mine are installed. The L-tuned exhaust did not come with any gasket nor did the stock ones. I installed mine without any gasket. I'll keep you guys posted with any leakage ditected.

I placed an order for one on Wednesday , i got the payment confirmation, but no word on the shipping yet. Also, they reserved the money in my account, and it was supposed to clear, but it never cleared my account, so my balance is $274 greater!! I wonder if im still getting one!

I haven't received my order yet, but I stopped by Lexus of Anchorage and picked up 2 new gaskets. Got the only 2 he had in stock at $13 a piece. Considering their location on the car, these things are thick (3/16"), serious looking gaskets . Now these are for my '01 GS 430, other years/engines may be different but I doubt it. I have a hunch they should probably be there for a good solid seal, so find them where ever you can.

i did not replace the metal gaskets. there ARE gaskets on the original setup, they are just stuck on the pipe when you remove the oem muflers. i just reused the original ones and after i tightened them up, checked for leaks, and everything was fine.

yup, i also did notice on the highway, the car does pick up a bit quicker.
