Which exhaust do you have and how do you like it? Did you buy one first then not like it and get something else? Do you feel any performance gains from it? How do you like the sound? Could you post pix of the exhaust on the car?

I read a lot of posts and listened too as many sound clips as I could. I started out with the Carson Tune Exhaust on my GS300 and I loved it. I loved the sound and the look. I'll try to find an old pic.

When I got my GS430 it came with RMM's; they sound ok but I wanted it a bit louder so I went with the Carson Tune again and never looked back. I could feel the difference in performance...the misses could too. I'll try to get some pics as well. I can't wait to get some headers and hear my exhaust with that combo!!!

Lexizm are those pix of the Carson tuned on your old car? Remember I bought your RMM exhaust.

Yeah they are, I'm just reminising. I miss my old S/C-GS3. A lot of people say Carson is way too loud, including the misses. It's my way of getting back. Check your PM.

Tanabe Medalion
Got exactly what I wanted the first time.
Minor gain felt.
Love the sound when city driving. Some drone when cruising at highway speeds.

I liked the way the Tanabe sounded on the website but I don't like the outlet pipe. I want something like the Borla tip or the RMM I just bought off of Lexizm. WOOHOO!!! Damn I should have paid you to overnight it.

I got the Borla a few weeks ago. I got it because I heard they are quiet and I liked the look of the exhaust. I didn't notice much of a performance difference but that wasn't what I was after. I will take some pictures when the weather gets better.

I just installed the RMM exhaust and let me just say I really like the exhaust. The look, first of all, is awesome. The only thing I don't like too much is the fact that the tips stick out somewhat, but they're great looking tips. The sound is just about what I was looking for, nothing too loud but not too subtle either. It sounds great with the Injen intake. I also feel a performance gain throughout the whole RPM range, more so in the mid-higher RPM's, but I haven't really tested it off the line. I'm happy with my decision, although in the future when I get a second car I might get something louder.

I'm really glad that you like them. Sounds like a good match
