I think I found my dream exhaust setup
https://youtube.com/watch?v=dA55WocKJKA
It says dual cutouts, befor the resonators maybe? Iv heard the ppe headers on a gs before and it didn't sound very much different then my gs400 with straight pipes, just louder. Is it the X pipe that makes it sound like that? Or the test pipes? I like my exhaust but it sounds very "clap" like during WOT. I wish he had a picture of his exhaust setup. And can anyone tell me what are test pipes and where they are usually installed on the exhaust?

I still dont understand why anyone would take a LUXURY REFINED QUIET car and slap a loud mouth exhaust on it when Lexus already spent millions and millions on making the car as quiet as possible while still sounding like it has power. If you want a car that sounds loud you shouldn't even be in a LEX GS in the first place, get some american muscle lol. The GS is so quiet when its idling you can hardly tell if the car is even on sometimes. My boy who drives a newer honda accord got in the driver seat and had to ask, is the car already on? I cant hear anything. You cant say the same about many cars.

Purrs like a Kitten stings like a bee!
I wish mine was a little louder too!
But I also understand the car was designed that way and it would be a real OIA to tune a complete louder new exhaust sys.
