Default Exhaust Note

Is there an exhaust that would make the IS250 sound like the Infinity g35?
I love the stock sound of the exhaust it comes with.
Thanks in advance

Default exhaust sound

Check out You Tube for actual sound clips of exhausts on the IS. Some exhausts are F Sport, HKS, Tanabe, Borla, Wald....first 3 are the most popular.

You'll be interested in the "Lexus HKS" Version.

Cliff Notes: You're looking for the version with serial number: PT916-53060

Being popular doesn't answer his question.

Default sounds

frOst......just giving dude options on what is all out there. YOU know as well as I that the one he posted was priced at $1,500. He may not want that "sound" for that much. Especially for minimal HP gains.

I understand, but if you are talking about performance... the only exhaust that will give "decent" gains is the PTS Exhaust Joe Z Racing Version.

Everything else, is all sound and "minimal" gain.

I read the article and as I said, it sounds like he can get a similar sound for a cheaper price by purchasing the Tanabe. It's quieter than the F Sport and HkS Hi Power. just giving him some options to the MArine. Hooo Awwww!

Nope, never ever, G35/37 exhaust sound is unique.

You can get close but only way to get the note is with a G.

People have said the Tanabe is closest besides the original Lexus HKS. The fsport exhaust is louder than the stock G35.

To me tanabe sounds nothing like a g35. I've heard the tanabe exhaust in person next to g35 and it sounded nothing alike. Even the stock g35 was louder than the is with the tanabe.
