Which is your fav. exhaust?
There was a lot of post of what exhaust people wanted to get, so i decided to create a poll. What is your fav. exhaust? HKS, Greddy, Tanabe, LMS, or other.

I think it's a bit pre-mature for me to have a favorite. There hasn't been any real comparisons made yet. We still don't know which one makes the most power while keeping the rear cats and the sound clips are not the greatest way to tell how it sounds under load either. Also with most of these exhausts the tips stick out a bit too much. Guess I'm just being picky, but I think most of us are the same when it comes to this type of purchase for a Lexus. My vote for now is OEM.
Tanabe- Looks kinda odd from the back. Kinda like 2 trumpets, haven't heard one yet and haven't seen much in the way of independent dyno results.
HKS- Looks pretty good, but sticks out a bit in the back. No dyno comparisons yet and the IS350 that was at the track with me was running slower times with this exhaust. On the plus side it sounds pretty nice.
Greddy- It's HUGE!, no dyno results and the sound I'm not sure about as I haven't heard one yet except for a youtube video revving.
LMS- I don't like the look of it and it removes the rear cats. Also seems to be a bit too loud.
OEM- I'm running good times with it, looks nice and is quiet. On the down side it's a bit too quiet.

i'm biased towards tanabe cause i have it. as far as sticking out, with the oem kit, only the corners of the exhaust stick out, the rest of the mufflers lie under the bumper. i wanted the hks one before but the $$$ was too much but i'm glad i got the tanabe because i think anything louder would be too loud for me.

Is it not possible that the guy you were running with just wasn't driving very well? And/or had other issues? (Weight variances, other mods, traction control, etc) Not to mention that there can be some decent differences in the power straight out of the factory.
EDIT: And based on the numbers in your profile, an IS shouldn't be as powerful as your car with an HKS exhaust alone.

Lexus-parts posted dyno results. It's supposed to add about 10 rwhp.
