Default Opinions on exhaust and intakes please?

I'm debating different intakes and exhausts especially the f-sport ones. I'm interested in the sound more than the minimal hp gains. Do any of you have a good pair that makes a quite deep tone? The closest example I could think of is my friends new G37. Thanks in advance for the advice!

f-sport sounds deep and loud from the clips i've seen.

for loud intake without regard to HP, go with ingen, fujita. pretty much any short ram intake.

you'll get a million different opinions.

but this is a fact, the most "g37 sounding" exhaust is the F-Sport. its not identical of-course, but very similar.

i had the Tanabe exhaust and it was very smooth and deep, loads and loads of bass sound, which started to annoy me.

F-Sport is more growly & aggressive sounding for sure, and thats why i made the switch.

as far as intakes, go F-Sport as well. it pairs perfectly with the F-Sport exhaust. they were designed to blend in tone and they do so perfectly

i absolutley love the way my IS350 sounds, very aggressive and super loud at WOT. but when not at WOT, it has that sporty "g37-ish sound" but a tad louder then a stock g37.

Thanks for the help, I'm very much considering the f-sport pair, but it's really down to that and the Joe-Z pair. Which in your opinion gives a good deep quite tone without making my car sound like a ricer? Haha
