would absolutely do it again!! I think the Tanabe is a perfect match w/ the IS. Only gripe would be the HP gains, but a more open exhaust is gonna make it louder. I'm very happy with mine.

When I pickup my IS at the end of the month this is something I am also considering doing. Its sounds as if the exhaust is well worth the 550 (or so) price tag.
My added question to this thread is did anyone do the bolt-on themselves? I have access to everything I would need to do the exhaust system at my father-in-laws but if the system has any installation "quirks" it would be nice to know ahead of time.

I don't think so, I took the mid pipe off and the resonators are straight through, like a glass pack, so I don't think they offer much resistance.

To be honest, I felt no difference. The sound may make you "think" it's faster, but i doubt anyone can really "feel" the estimated 4-7 hp gain from this.
Oh, and I had my local shop do the install when they did the springs.
