its noticeably deeper and louder than the tanabe.
when it came to overall design, joez, it came with hks hangers, which i found interesting. i emailed one of the guys i work with and he said hes gonna research a bit, but from everything hes heard it has a slightly different sound than the lexus hks. we have a lexus hks in-stock, so if someone in the state wants to come buy it...
if ive got time ill open it up and see how it compares to the f-sport

I think they went with a different internal muffler design, which would cause it to sound deeper and different from the Lexus HKS set up..
However, it easily explains why they look exactly a like...
HKS got the contract to make both exhausts for Lexus..

However, the Lexus HKS Exhaust and F Sport Exhaust both carry an MSRP of $1,470 through the regular Lexus parts counter..

Okay, so yesterday some friends and I got together to take some pics, and we ended up recording the f-sport exhaust on my car. Youtube Link and it's also added in my first post. Enjoy!

for my personal preference, i would recommend it. however, yes it does drone when you're accelerating and the cabin noise is pretty loud. the exterior noise is primarily why id recommend it, but if youre someone who likes the quiet interior, it's not for you. 
hope this helps!

so as far as cabin noise goes does it drone if you're just cruising? i'm more interested in the noise level. as far as exterior goes, so far i love it. and if you could, could u post a video from the inside doing a cruise and some WOT?

sorry guys ive been busy working and also helping out my friends parents with their restaurant after work, dead tired all the time.
wjimmy: ill get those videos asap its a matter of finding time. sorry at least i know the tunnel where we'll have some fun
kuuqi: when you're off the accel you cant hear the exhaust at all. when youre on around 1.3-1.8k it has a low, but really quiet drone, barely noticeable from inside the cabin. around 2k-3k youll be able to hear it quite noticeably inside the cabin. ill try to get a video of some inside as well
