Exhaust is one mod that you really don't want to cut corners on. People can tell a cheap exhaust a mile away. Especially with the 2GS having dual exhaust, the exhaust you choose becomes doubly pronounced in terms of looks, performance, and sound.

There are alot of great exhaust systems out there. As for myself, I would only put a full catback on my car. The 2JZ really purrs nicely with a quality, refined exhaust, and the cans really fill out the large rear end of our cars.

If you can't afford an expensive exhaust just wait for a used one on the classifieds. I would go JP, Touring Medallion, Carson Tuned, or RMM.

The RMM is the best of all worlds...
I LOVE THIS EXHAUST
