I mean for just the mid pipe (w/ no resonators) swap, the sound from the clip is more than I expected. I'm w/ you on the oem cans and tail pipe. the axle backs that are available at the moment are not it for me. when I was younger, I might have liked the apexi, but now, not so much.

I do like the GTHaus mufflers, but $3,000 is way too much for just some fancy mufflers.

at the moment, they're the closest ones to oem. I'm not a fan of their signature "split" in the tail pipe. and yes, their system is pricey

He has a 2nd clip added recently of him doing a brief drive. I can't link it right now, but the car sounds good!

I have hit a little over two week since install. I am really liking it so far. Not super loud/obnoxious when driving normal but is really loud when I get on it and cold starts lol. My butt dyno can’t really tell a difference in hp, but as anecdotal as it sounds my traction control seems to be kicking in a lot more. Also launching without TC is almost impossible now unless I want to sit and burn out. So definitely feels like there is more power in that sense.

Next “mod” will definitely be tires 😬

I contacted the dealer about the new Lexus exhaust... not available yet. I was told maybe November/December.

Is it even for the IS500 or is it a mistake in their documentation again?
