Can you elaborate on more conservative? Ive been debating on whether or not i should get exhaust or not. Both tanabe and f sport have nice tips. They are small and sporty. But I like the sound of the G35/350z and from the youtube videos..the f sport sounds closer to that. What do you think?

performance-wise you may not feel any difference with either but here's my experience on the exhaust accoustics...
started with tanabe - at first i thought it was loud because i've never modded a car before, but i got used to it pretty quickly and liked its deep tone... "wooommmmm"![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
f-sport intake came in a few months later - no change in exhaust tone, but definitely noticed a roar at higher rpm's... "wooommmrrrrrrr"![Cool](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif)
tanabe out, f-sport exhaust in just a month ago - still deep tone but a little louder and more growl "vrrrooommmm"![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
i like both, but definitely like the f-sport combo better

For looks alone, I think having both the intake and exhaust are worth it. If you're looking to gain power, don't bother, since you won't be getting much. To be honest with you, I notice a slight difference with the sound with a Tanabe exhaust, but I don't really hear anything from the F-Sport intake.

I have to say its worth it. It adds a bit of aggressiveness to your car. F-sport exhaust and f-sport intake works perfectly together. Once you reach high RPMs, you will hear a deep tone from the intake. F-sport exhaust growls a bit more, but its really not that bad. I have not heard or met anyone that installed the f-sport exhaust and removed it because it was too loud or because of drone.
An alternative set up (less expensive setup too) is to go with the Joe Z intake with the tanabe exhaust. exhaust is quietier. I have seen people go from tanabe exhausts to f-sport cause it was too quiet for them.
Just like what Brociouz mentioned, the best thing to do is go to your local lexus meet n ask a CL member to listen to the exhaust from the outside, then have them take you around the block to see how it sounds like inside the car.

A loud exhaust on a slow car remind me of those old honda civic that with the giant loud fart can.
1000K just for sound? lol not worth it for Is250, I would do it if it was an IS350 though.
