Default Best Axle Back Exhaust????

I figure since i just got my new is350, why not put a new axle back exhaust to get the best sound (since its stock sluggish sound just doesnt give me goosebumps) Anyone have any videos?

*best is subjective*
Best sound FSport but its loud.
Best tuner sound HKS High Performance but its loud too
Best middle not too loud not too soft Greddy SP2
Best without being loud at all with very nice looking tips Tanabe Medallion

hahaha i think that just about covers it. think of stock as 1 loudness, 2 tanabe, 3 Greddy, 4 HKS, 5 Fsport, (4/5 is subjective thou)

The very first "sticky" thread at the top of the Performance forum answers this question very well.

^^that thread is great and very informative but people are still going to ask what the best is...especially new people.

I started a thread for alignment info and posted detailed info and people still post and ask. I did it for the same reason Troy started the other thread. Mine was not made into a sticky but I think we will always see these kinds of questions. Better IMO just to be nice and help out...

Here are some clips of each type of exhaust.

Tanabe: http://youtube.com/watch?v=kjV3qh5hM_4

Greddy SP2 : http://youtube.com/watch?v=HfX-ZWmAeeQ

Lexus HKS : http://youtube.com/watch?v=r7ZDNBRgj-A

Lexus F-Sport: http://youtube.com/watch?v=SFwO_I04kdk&feature=related

HKS Hi-power: http://youtube.com/watch?v=jKAEQJ2C9g4

I think that covers most axle backs for our car. Megan also has an axle back version, but I don't know if anyone has it yet.

No, it doesn't sound anything like the LMS. Most would probably agree that the F-sport sounds way better. But, LMS is a full cat-back exhaust mainly for more HP.

i love my tanabe...very clean look (after i painted the mufflers black) and not too attention grabbing while adding a nice sound.
