Default F-Sport exhaust : what are similar options?

Hi all,

I'm looking for an exhaust that sounds just like the F-Sport (not too loud at cruise speeds and in city driving, but a nice sound when flooring it/accelerating harder), however at 1600 CAD the F-Sport is a bit too expensive for what I'd like to spend. Are there any aftermarket exhausts that don't sound like rice? No offend to anyone who has them, but most exhausts I hear on Youtube aren't close enough to the F-Sport.

Thanks.

I have a Tsudo axle back which kind of sounds like a G35 coupe. I wanted more loud so I took off the resonators with it. But Tsudo is a good brand for the price.

Invidia and tanabe. Both got similar tones to the fsport.

But, if your heart wants fsport. I say go with fsport, so you don't regret it. If price is an issue, look for used ones.

I have fsport on mine, and I love it!

i had the f sport on my 2nd gen IS, and bought the magnaflow for my 3rd gen, very close in sound of not being over loud and tone.

I have a FSport Exhaust customed with Quad tips for sale.

I bought a new exhaust so it's just sitting around now.

I have owned both f-sport /Magnaflow on my 3IS and I can confirm that these two exhaust sound identical in cabin and outside. The only difference is a slightly deeper tone at 1.8-2.2k from the Magnaflow from the outside.
list of exhaust I have owned so far are.
Magnaflow
F-sport
Tsudo
Apexi

I currently have the Tsudo catback and it sounds very similar to the Invidia catback. I had the axleback for 4 months but it was not loud enough for me so I picked up the midpipe which made it noticeable louder but not obnoxiously loud. Quality is great considering the price and has a deep tone with little drone. It also comes with burnt tips but can be removed if you don't like it.
The Tsudo axleback and midpipe each go for about $300-$350 (best bang for your buck imo). I recommend getting the axleback first just to see if you like it or if it's loud enough.

F Sport sounds really nice and subtle to me but I just ordered a Tommy Kaira / Rowen's Exhaust for my car

Which did u like the most? Was it the manga flow axleback or custom? I'm leaning towards JoeZ!
