Great, another exhaust thread LOL

First figure out how much you're willing to spend then look at your options. If money is NOT a concern, JoeZ hands down.

I suggest the less droning 1's... it gets irritating after awhile

I only heard it when it was first installed, and it sounded nice, but I know it got NICER because I'm pretty sure it needed a little time to break-in

BTW, it's not loud,,just hum in your ear~!

Ive seen the fab exhaust but I never heard it

Got a sick deal on one but just didnt like the way it looked.

Which ones don't have drones at cruising speed?

p.s if u go HKS.. go with HKS with silencers.. imo sounds way better. HKS alone is too loud.

i'm in 100% agreement...i still have mine on and absolutely love them

Let me thrown in some FACT here... LoL

The only exhaust upgrades available for the IS250 AWD are the basic Axle-Back systems..

Currently, NONE of the Full Exhaust replacements will work on the AWD application.

The reason is the OEM Front-Mid pipe is designed differently to make room for the front wheel drive system

Regards,

It's not hard to install the silencer inserts for long trips to kill the secondary road drone, leave 'em out for normal commuting. One good thing about the droning, it puts the grand daughters to sleep every time!
Has anyone cut the tube length on the inserts to see how that affected the sound?
If not, I may hack half of it off tomorrow and see how it sounds.

^ i'd be wary of something THAT cheap.

btw, no need to repost the same thing in two other threads, unless you're trying to advertise or copy-paste-threadcrap.
