wow...reading from all the post I might just keep my stockers. I'm suprise most of you cant feel any increase in power. didnt LMS claim that either exhaust alone or with intake gains 22 rwhp? any proof?

LOL, that's what I've been trying to say this entire time about these aftermarket systems being "axle-backs" and not true cat back.
You guys that really want a true cat-back, take your car to a muffler shop so they can add on to the HKS, Tanabe systems.
But since I got smoked by a Scion tC, an exhaust system upgrade isn't the answer still. Not worth spending $600 to do the work for only a few HP more. Doesn't do anything but free up the exhaust a little bit more.

Finally changed my HKS to Tanabe...
----------------------------------------------------------
Lexus IS350
Tanabe Touring Medallion
Dyno: No
Did you feel any Hp/Tq difference? Not as torque-y as the HKS. More subdued (almost too subdued) improvement to stock acceleration; little perceived gains from stock.
Comments on your exhaust: Much more quiet than the HKS, but definately compromises with less "umphh" during acceleration.
