I've been looking at pretty much all the vids here of the different exhaust set-up's and I still cant make up my mind.

I cant go anywhere close to see them live, as I have 1 of the total 2 IS250's here..

I installed the F Sport intake last fall, and I love the deep - almost V8 like rumble, however you only get that above 3000 and with a fair amount of throttle applied..

I would love to have an exhaust set-up that would give me a similar deep growl at idle and low rpm's, before the intake sound takes over.

I dont want that high-pitched sound though at higher rpm's which is typical for V6's...

is this possible?

I've been thinking about the Lexus HKS - but will that make a high-pitched sound at high rpm's that will more or less cancel out the intake growl?

anyone else have this combination or similar?

thanks!
Lars.

I have this combo. The sound from the exhaust is noticeable from around 1.5k rpm to 3k rpm. Above that, the intake sound takes over. IMO it doesn't sound like a V8 but I didn't expect it to either. It's a great combo for me, noticeable enough without being too loud.

I have the F-Sport intake + Lexus HKS on my IS250.....

The intake defiantly takes over at over 3000-3500 RPM... and the exhaust Does not cancel it out... to me, this combo is great, Although it could be a little louder when just barley on the gas... because sometimes the HKS becomes a little too quiet ...Thats why I may add a megan mid-pipe...

And for the high pitched sound... I dont hear any ... and im young enough to hear the super high pitched mosquito ring tone ... so if there was,.... I would hear it lol

Hope this helps

thanks you guys, I will probably go for that combo aswell.

I really like the sound the f sport makes at idle though, but I dont want it too loud, so the HKS will have to do then..

Get the HKS, u will not be disappointed... unless u absolutely cant stand drone, otherwise, exhausts are a MUST!!!!!

Tanabe and F-sport intake combo works too. You save a few bills, Lexus HKS new is $1100 vs. $700 for Tanabe.

Dude, if you want rumble, get the hi-power. It looks better and sounds better than every system out there. AND it's cheaper than the Lexus HKS.

I have the Lexus HKS. If I could do it over, I would've gotten a 350 with no exhaust, and then purchased the hks hi-power and put it on myself.

Maybe next time right? =P
