Just got these babies installed, fenders rolled, wheels aligned and we are set!

In a Lexus 3GS, you have three sections to your exhaust. The manifolds ( headers ) which come from your engine. Then you have the midpipes which have the cats in them. And then the rear mufflers ( which are basically from the rear axle back ) Tanabe medallion is my rear mufflers.

The deal is very simple, Because the LS models are Direct Fuel Injection, they had to detune the Middle East LS460's to 342hp. And since the Electronic Fuel Injection GS460 is rated at 342hp, for marketing reasons, they detuned that to 322hp. No technical reason whatsoever! Only for marketing...

Here's a dyno chart of my 2009 GS460 when it was bone stock! Notice anything?

It's a tough one this! I don't wanna lose! Check out his onboard video, seems like his acceleration is slower than mine! See how long it take him to accelerate from a certain speed to a certain speed, and see mine! His Tundra 80km/h to 210km/h http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlQ701zuKSw...
