the hks hi-power is THE loudest axleback system for the 2is - i haven't heard anything else louder. i think everyone else can attest to that.

also, i believe there is a thread that shows that the f-sport and lexus hks exhaust are of identical design.

lexus rear gfx + lexus HKS exhaust. pic taken with iphone. sorry for the bad quality, but u get the idea.
The only thing is the exhaust is discontinued, but if you are not in a hurry to get exhaust, u will be able to find it used in the classified section one day. it has a nice subtle growl.... well to me at least.


Hope it helps.

Depending on the angle, sometimes I love how the GFX look and sometimes I don't. Decision, decision, decision....

True, but he also asked for pics and opinions

Or if anyone has any pics of their cars with the GFX rear and an aftermarket exhaust.

Here's an old pic of my gfx rear with tanabe touring exhaust. IMO its a bit quiet when cruising. Hope it helps.

If you want quiet and looks, the Lexus HKS exhaust will meet these requirements. There's absolutely NO drone, yet gives a nice "purrrrr......" up to 2000rpm. It's the quietiest of all aftermarket exhausts. Unfortunately, it's been discontinued. As others have noted, you may find it in the classifieds one day. There's where I got mine. Here's some photos with it. It fills the rear GFX kit very nicely. Looks is very similar to the F-sport exhaust (also made by HKS).
