Lexus: IS250 AWD

Which Exhaust: Lexus HKS Dual Sport

Dyno: No

Did you feel any Hp/Tq difference, if yes, how much/where in the powerband, ect?: A bit, not too much

Comments on your exhaust: I love it, the sound is exactly what I was looking for. It gives the car some growl but it's not too overpowering. Absolutely Perfect!

No pics at the moment, but I'll work on it.

Lexus: 2008 IS350
Which Exhaust: Tanabe
Dyno: No
Did you feel any Hp/Tq difference?: Nope
Comments on your exhaust: Slight increase in low end exhaust tone. Mid/High RPMS sound like its all motor. I think this sound is suited for this type of car. It doesn't need a droning Honda exhaust sound. Install was 30-45 min with basic tools. Perfect fitment. Stock looking exhaust.

Pictures to come...

Lexus: 2007 IS300 (Asia / Middle East version – 3GR-FE)
Exhaust: mixed
Type: Fabulous axle back & Megan mid pipe
Dyno: No
Did you feel any Hp/Tq difference?: Not significant
Comments on exhaust: Slight increase in high end exhaust tone. The car gets all muscular at low RPMs when you are on 1-3 gear & at mid RPMs when you are on final gears. Sound is perfect for the car, note that it might sound different on 4GR’s and 2GR’s. Material is excellent. Fitment issues; driver side is dropped while passenger side is not centered. Axle pipe is low, it drops further down than anything else in the car and there is a significant empty area above it.
Verdict: I love it, but could do better at clearance.
Pictures: can be seen here.

Lexus is350
Exhaust: Tanabe Medallion
Dyno: no
Gain: maybe a little.
How do I like it? just a bit deep or loud at part throttle or cruising, but I like it alot when I'm driving agressively. overall, it's a very nice exhaust system.

I added an intake at the same time so hard to say. If anywhere in the midrange 3000-5000 rpm.
LOUD but awesome.

Lexus IS350
Which Exhaust: Lexus HKS
Dyno: No
Did you feel any Hp/Tq difference: No
Comments on your exhaust: It's the loudest for me around 2.8k RPM, as the Fujita intake masks it upwards of that. WOT from the outside sounds awesome! No droning, and is very nice on the highway even at slighly higher speeds =)
