Ah, I see, but the loudness of the exhaust scares the crap out of people in my town. Also makes my car seem a lost faster than it is which is funny to me, but I respect your opinion. I like being known that I am coming and would not change my exhaust for anything.

Me and my old neighbor have a resonator and muffler delete on our 430. I get compliments allllll dayyyyyy long, u won't regret it. If u have a 300 I would keep it stock until u have engine mods/swap if u have a 400/430 show off those *****, honestly straight piping my exhaust was the best thing Iv ever done in my life. It made my driving experience so great I burn oil like gas with no leaks.

I preferably MYSELF would keep it stock cause in my experience with my gs300, it was really hard to get the exhaust to not sound raspy, I hate rasp and it would remind me of the m3. I hate the way those e46's sound if they didn't have headers and exhaust combo.
I don't literally burn oil like gas, but I lost about a quart of oil in between my oil changes and I'm sure it's from my engine having 170k and from me bringing the car to redline at least 5 times on my way to work. I roll with my windows down and turn my stereo completely off just so i can hear my exhaust. whenever there are no cars and there is an open stretch, I will usually punch it to 60.

i'm sure it's different with gs4s and gs3s but i've got 341k miles and i don't burn oil at all.
but that aside, i got custom exause made by Andrey Sokolov (on Instagram he is ltwon1, i don't know his username on here). They're Vibrant Mufflers with aftermarket tips on them. they sound nice, though not insanely loud. I'm happy with them.

So you roll around town announcing your presence everywhere?

Yes, basically. Since I have a 98 GS300 I do not have the M option on my transmission, but I end up switching between the gears as I accelerate or decelerate. You have to be going under 15 mph to drop it into 1st gear. So I wait until I come to a complete stop and then take off going up to 5 rpms, sometimes I let it run redline to 6.5k and it sounds like it is spitting, with the exhaust, it sounds really awesome. I haven't had any transmission issues, so I do not think it is hurting all too much, 213K on the clock.
I wonder when the OP will chime back in here. Basically made a chat room for us all.

It is really not that big of deal, you guys are exaggerating this. I do not do it all the time, only when I want to "FEEL" like I am going fast because honestly that is the only time because stock is just not that fast. It is just all sound and I don't do it all the time. Also just because you don't do it doesn't mean you to hate on someone who does.
