I saw this : 2024-Current Lexus GX550/Toyota Land Cruiser Titainum Axle Dump Exhaust — NYTOP | Not Your Typical Original Parts and was curious as to if anyone modified the exhaust yet? Not trying to make it sound like an angry bee or V-8 just more interested in weight reduction and tucking the exhaust up more.
Has anyone modified the exhaust yet?

An up to date Cherry Bomb. 
I have one sort of on order, being notified when available.

I think it's in a pretty good spot, from TFL's Moab video it appears it just barely contacts when dragging the ass-end. So if you're dragging the tailpipe, you're likely dragging other stuff along with it.

No in my original post I said more interested in weight reduction and tucking it up a bit higher…. That civic is the “angry bee” sound….Aftermarket exhaust? You wanting it to sound like the pizza boy’s ragged out Civic?

Trail Recon on YT did a vid recently and he has a Magnaflow exhaust kit on his 250. It sounded ok and tucked it up higher for more clearance. On the Magnaflow site they have a placeholder for the system and says coming soon. I thought about it, but they have a $1,200 price listed for it so I'm out lol.

Ouch.... $1200 for what? I have a magna flow on my Jeep and it's nice.... not too loud and tucked up nice....but that's steep.
I’ve placed an order for the magna flow, lower weight, improved ground clearance, anti drone technology, slight power improvement, doesn’t sound like a Briggs and Stratton will know if all is true once it reaches. They’ve charged my CC already so hopefully soon.
I installed the AFE exhaust about a week ago. Hard not to sound like my high school Volkswagen that I punched a hole in the muffler. I’m not 100% certain I’ll leave it on.
I ordered the 3” but they sent me the wrong one (high clearance 2.5”) but not sure the extra half inch would make that big of a tone difference.

Please let me know what you think. I like magnaflow and this is on my list when my LC arrives next month
I mean let's be honest here. It's still a four banger so we won't be getting those V8 or even V6 tones that an aftermarket setup would deliver. The higher clearance and lighter weight might be cool but not $1,200.00 cool. Holy crap that's steep.
I'd love to be proven wrong, but really don't see how this 4cylinder engine will ever sound decent. Loud - sure. Good - I'm not so confident.
Better to have the mediocre tone stay muted with the stock exhaust imo.
