Default f-sport exhaust and intake/ worth the mod?

i'd like your opinions on this one.
I know there are other exhausts out there, but what do you think.

Depends on what you are looking for. If you want to make your car go fast, then it is not worth it. If you just want sound and looks, then it's debatable.

^^^i agree get it if you want the sound, because it will not make your car any faster. With the current discount I'm looking to get the f sport intake.

I think it sounds pretty amazing. I don't regret spending on it at all. It's different from all the Subis rumbling I'm used to at school.

Yeah you are basically payn for sound. I had a full exhaust & did a track day made do difference. Took it off..Actually i just did my 60K service & that made more a difference than the full exhaust. I guess i am getting older cuz i like my stealthy IS350 (Quiet). Haha that's what my friends at the track call me quiet & fast.

I think if you were leaning towards getting them anyway, but weren't 100% sure, I would definitely take advantage of the current sale. I did and do not regret it a bit!

Is the F-sport exhaust alone loud inside the car when driving?

^ There's a slight drone at highway speed, but it's really not that bad. Best bet would be to ride around with someone who has the F-Sport Exhaust to see how it is.

Can't you put a Silencer on it to lower the DB drone from the exhaust just like what you can do with HKS and other similar types

Coming back from the Pursuit 2 with Johnson last weekend... about 125 MPH. Normally 80-85. We're probably both used to the sound now, but I distinctly remember a slight drone and increased vibrations right after I put the F-Sport exhaust on.

there is definitely highway drone with the exhaust. How much more noise does the intake add with the exhaust, is it even worth it?


Quick Reply: f-sport exhaust and intake/ worth the mod?
