Thumbs up Lexus HKS Exhaust installed!
So I got my HKS exhaust installed today and thanks to the Top 40 Promotion with lexus-parts.com I saved a boat load of money. Anyways, it definitely sounds awesome. I can actually hear myself accelerate in the lower RPM ranges. Just one question... Do I need to reset the ECU? I'm assuming that can be done by disconnecting the Negative connection from the battery? Here are some pics:

Looks pretty good. You don't need to reset your ECU, but it couldn't hurt either. Also, what are those pink things on the wall? At first I thought they were to protect the doors from hitting too hard.

That's exactly what they are. The garage is pretty narrow and it's pretty easy to bang the doors if my passengers aren't being careful. So I decided to protect them.

Very nice! I got a week to decide before the sale ends if I'll go with these too.

BTW, when I saw those pink pads I immediately realized what they were for...maybe I should do the same to my garage..with another color of course.

Is it just me or does the HKS really stick out quite a bit more than the stock?

it definitely sticks out a few inches further than the stock unit (especially at the bottom of the unit)

FYI, this isn't the regular HKS, it is a special Lexus version made by HKS.
