I dont think u realise that for the ISX50 the intake provides negligible performance benefits, so anyone who has an intake bought it for sound. they are kiddin themselves if they think they got it for performance.

Sides, lexus is quite as hell and thats one of the many things that take some pleasure out of driving, so hells yea louder intake FTMFW

Hey..if I offended anyone I apologize. You have your personal preferences in what you like to hear. I will say my IS350 sounds weak compared to my M35, but the IS is faster and handles better.

Sorry guys.

I know the IS is a fun car. I was going to get a 350 roadster, but it just didn't feel like a right move.

Anyway..once again I didn't mean to put anyones mods down. But If I catch you guys putting a fart can on your Lexus I will be having a field day.

nice list you got there.. and you didn't offend me..not at all
and I see your point..I hate seeing cars that are TOO loud..but
a little sound is always a hum to your ears..right?
love your corvette..and I see that you were planning on getting the 350
which is a nice car..I was thinking of getting either 09 M3, 350Z, G37 or corvette
but ended up getting my Lexus..lol..just wanted something gas efficient

I test drove the 350z roadster, S2000 and an 05 M3 Vert. I did not fit well or comfortably in the 350 or S2000 and the M3 had the electronic clutch thingy...I think the salesman said its an SMG transmission. Well I absolutely hated it, but the car felt like it could handle...however I couldn't get past how the slow the clutch was releasing ...therefore I couldn't really test drive. I drove three IS350s and loved it each time I drove. I got more aggressive each time. The last salesman was bracing himself as I drove with some some spirit...well a lot of spirit.
