Cutting the res doesn't add much sound.

hellaflush! nahh I just wanted the tuner feeling. Coilovers are most recommended for a drop. BC racing, Megans, Tein, Tanabe, D2 just to give you choices.

Congrats and welcome. I guess when you mean full-pipping, you also want to install mid-pipes. Invidia and Megan are 2 common ones people install here. But check with your state's emission laws first. If don't care, then go for it.

welcome and congrats! Awesome car.
I noticed something interesting about your 2011 IS. The headlights don't have LED strip DRLs!
