Just had the L Tuned stainless steel mufflers put on my 01 GS 430. The dealer did it in 15 minutes but I had to wait several months for availability.
For info, absolutely no resonance at cruise speeds and a nice growl when accelerating. Well worth the price ($676) and they look great.

dzman - thanks for the info! I've been interested in the L-Tuned mufflers and was going to ask for feedback on them, and now I have it. Appreciate it.
Now you have the sound, maybe you need the handling upgrades

RacingAristo:
Where did you get your Borla exhaust for $400 shipped? I am in the market for an exhaust and was seriously considering the Borlas. I had the Borla XR-1 exhaust on my '98 Vette and it was quite loud, but I hear that the exhaust for the Lex is somewhat quite. Not sure whether to go with the Greddy or blitz and keep this car what it is an "import". Any input?
Thanks,
Mike

I ordered mine from www.summitracing.com
It's Borla Stainless Steel exhaust, not the carbon fiber one. I just did a quick search. The carbon fiber one costs you $427.39 item number Bor-11729.

dzman: How much louder?
So while I'm enamored of the idea of a throaty acceleration, could you roughly quantify how much louder the exhaust makes the car at normal cruising speeds?
Like many of the people on this forum, I'm trying to achieve the perfect balance between sportiness and luxury/comfort. I drove '60s Mustangs for ten years and have had my fill of cars in which one can't have a conversation!

can you post some pics?
Those are twin tips right? and they fit in the stock cutouts? I already have the Borlas, but it'd be nice to check out the L-tuned exhaust if you can post the pics.

I got them from carparts.com for under $400. best thing to do is call them and work with a salesman on the price. Summitracing.com also has them.
I think the Borla SS were also about the same price.
the c/f are loud at 1800-2100 rpm...you will set off every car alarm in the parking lot. hahahaha.
They replace the rear section.

Borla Carbon Fiber
I have used Borla Carbon Fiber Exhaust that I would be willing to sell for $200 if anyone is interested. I would also consider a trade for l-tuned steering ecu. Other trades also welcomed drop me an email to denisg@netlabs.net if you are interested.

Borlas
Guys - If ya go to the old site, I did some serious R&D for all of ya regarding the S/S Borlas from Summit including part numbers & pricing, along with the turnaround time on them. I have the S/S & compared them to the C/F of a friend & I couldn't hear my stereo over HIS Borlas! Also, installation of them shouldn't take more than 20 minutes as they just replace the factory mufflers directly & don't involve any special tools, not even ramps if your GS isn't lowered!
