Default Aero Turbine mufflers on a 3UZ finally! 1 of a kind

So I finally assembled my exhaust system and had it welded up. Not even 5 minutes from leaving the shop I had even a cop give me the thumbs up! He said "That's a LEXUS??" Then at a stop light about 3 people started to rev and did burnouts when it hit green. This car transforms people Haha. Well unfortunately I don't have a sound clip right now but I'm working on that. For now I do have pics that I will post in a minute. Its PPE headers to 2.5" piping all the way into a MAC Pro chamber H/X pipe into the Aero turbines out back.

may sound incredible but you lost some HP/torque on it.... only one guy has made a full (meaning full from the cats back) "custom" exhaust that has gained any power in the last 10 years or so on a V8 model.

Well that may be, but I can't tell. I'm going to dyno it soon so we will see. It's worth the sound to me Haha I want to get a video clip tonight but it's very windy outside right now

Is there not plenty of baseline dynos out there to compare it to? I know all dynos are different but it will give me a general idea of what the powerband should look like. I'm not shooting for big numbers here.

They're about $100 each shipped on ebay.

not that im aware of but if you find some, post some although it still wont show the change from YOUR car to now which is more important. im not knocking you or them im just saying although they now making a noise you like you probably not making power from them
