I can get the MagnaFlow Exhaust. It's $945

Personally I would recommend Tanabe or Invidia for a Lexus, but the choice is yours.

Many thanks, it doesn't sound too loud at startup, but when you pulled away it had a nice growl (which I like). Would you say that's correct? I'm thinking of just going with the magnaflow mufflers and keeping the stock resonators. I'm not looking for a huge sound bump, just more of a deeper growl and to keep it nice and quiet at cruising speeds.
End result, to put in better-quality Vibrant resonators and mufflers in a full mandrel cat-back system would have cost nearly $2K (Can) so I didn't go that route. I will likely change out my Tsudo resonators just to smooth out and maybe quiet the sound, and should end up with a close result to his, albeit at about half the price I was originally quoted for the custom system. If you'd just like a bit louder and lower sound but keeping the same quality of tone, swapping mufflers is probably the best bet, although something like a secondary cat delete could also work as a cheaper option.

Not sure what exact part # they used for the polished system. I just didnt see the point on paying almost $1k for something shiny and polished that sits underneath the car that gets water, oil, tar, trash, debris all over it. The muffler and tips I got, cost me less than $200 installed.

From another thread, I'd been discussing with EvilJoker about replicating his setup as I favoured his results as well, but the shops up here were hesitant to use the same components due to durability. Especially with us being in a wet climate here versus much drier in Texas, they figured his resonators and mufflers might last 2 years. Looks like you're in Portland so it's something to consider.
