Whats up guys? It's been a while since i have posted on CL. Anyways straight to the point. Got my tax refund today and i want to spend it on something... useful? So i was thinking of an exhaust. Don't want to pay more than $500-600 though.

Any suggestions? I've been looking at the Megan Racing Catback Exhaust, Speed Daddy Catback Exhaust, HKS Hi Flo catback, and the Magnaflow Catback.

I really like the HKS but i feel like the tips are WAY too big... Megan Racing exhaust looks nice but im not too sure on the sound. The Speed Daddy exhaust is cheap but it sounds like crap. The Magnaflow exhaust is nice but i feel like it sounds too much like a mustang..


As you can see i am very indecisive so suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I had the tanabe a couple months ago and swapped it out to the HKS, i love both of them the Tanabe was just too quiet. You definitely wont get the HKS for that price unless u wanna buy mine

Top speed pro-1 and m2 are very cheap if you not looking to spend much.

If i was going to spend a lot of money on an exhaust. I would be getting the F-Sport. Not too big but gives a deep rumble. I may be willing to spend more.. It just depends how much i fall in love.

I personally think F-sport is a waste of money and for people who knows no better lol

The only reason i would get the F-Sport is to keep my current warranty. I was warned by the dealer that if i install anything it would void the warranty. The F-Sport exhaust would void it as well unless Lexus installs it. Correct me if i am wrong though.

The dealer cant void your entire cars warranty just because of an exhaust, only the warranty on the stock exhaust. If you install an aftermarket one and your Nav screen dies, they cant void your cars warranty.

Warranties are not suppose to be voided by bolt on...dont know if this is a good example but lexus is changing my pistons now i have an aftermarket exhaust and intake installed on my car

Piece together your own. it can be done for around $500 in parts. Maybe less and a quality welder.

OP, Im assuming the exhaust is for an ISx50? What are you looking for in an exhaust? Do you want it to be loud or quiet? If you want it to be on the louder side I would recommend the HKS Hi-Power exhaust (which is the one I will be getting soon). If you want something on the quieter side I would suggest to take a look at the Tanabe or M2 exhaust.

Ohhh.. Ok that changes everything then. I guess they feed you BS to scare you?



I'm looking for a deep rumble.. I want it to be loud but not obnoxious.. Does the HKS drone?

Get a Greddy or Tanabe. Looks and sounds great. The Hks is too loud i think.
