Hola.

I recommend Rod Millen highly. Very nice mellow sound with NO drone.

I also recommend using the search feature. You will find the answer to your question.

Search for "exhaust". Also search for "drone" to see which ones have had this problem...L-tuned and Borla come to mind.

Good luck.

Ryan

I like my Borla stainless steel exhaust and have had no issues with drone (although a couple folks have complained about hearing it - seems to be more an issue with l-tuned exhaust).

A few questions you should be formulating:

- how loud to do you want the car to be?
- what are your preferences for looks of the exhaust? Small chrome tips, big cannisters?
- what kind of warranty and/or lexus dealer support do you want?

Like Ag said, do a search and you'll find a BUNCH of exhaust posts. Here's one in particular that will be helpful -->CLICK HERE


EDIT - one of the best things you can do is to try to hook up with others in the area to check out their exhausts. I know we've got at least a couple of GS4 guys in the PA area.

2nd on the Rod Millen. Several of the other exhausts have a nasty drone at typical cruising RPM [1800-2200]. The RMM is actually pretty mellow but has a nice growl as the revs rise. Perhaps not the choice if you are looking for more attention.

Thanks redgs4..I would like it quiet, unobtrusive. Some growl would be nice when accelerating or under WOT. That's the only time I would want the "attention". It'd be nice if one could hear all the exhaust tones wouldn't it???
