Sound difference between IS250 vs IS350?
I'm sure none of us have an IS250 AND an IS350 so it's hard to compare, but if some of you know this, are there sound differences between thse two models (exhaust wise)? Especially different exhaust tone when adding on aftermarket mufflers?

I have a 350, and my girlfriend has a 250, so we have one of each in the household, if you will... 
Soundwise, there's no difference. Only under heavy load/acceleration can you hear a slightly louder sound coming from the engine. Otherwise, there is no audible difference in the exhaust (especially since the stock exhaust is virtually silent). Also, we both have Tanabe exhausts, and often I think her exhaust sounds louder than mine! Anyway, I hope this is what you were looking for.

Think honda ricer with fart can vs stock v-8 impala. Its all about the mufflers, any engine uncapped is LOUD, any engine with a restrictive exhaust will be quiet.

Lol, two IS in a household. It's nice that you guys settled on getting different model IS. That way, you can compare the two instead of both getting the same IS.
Hmmm, looks like they sound the same unless you have good ears. Dang, I went to Crown Lexus and they gave me a quote on the HKS for $1450 not including labor!!!! What a ripoff!!!!!
