Nope just the way it comes from HKS, no mid pipe. Nice deep tone but not too bad at higher speeds.

 

Milk, what do you think my best bet would be in pairing a system with my Invidia Mid. I listened to some clips of the HKS with Invidia and it sounded awesome, i just HATE drone....

 

damn how do u hate the drone .... it keeps me up on those long drives coming home from seeing my gf lol.... its my coffee wake up sensor in my IS ... F U benz!!!

 

I made this thread to help me better understand the perception of drone bc I'm confused.

For the invidia mid-pipe, my opinion is the megan axel back. Another notable setup is that I think sounds good is the megan mid-pipe paired with the greddy axel-back. But my second favorite setup was the F-Sport with a secondary cat delete on a stock mid-pipe.

 

What about the F-Sport with the invidia mid??

 

NO. Two reasons.
1) WAY too loud. You could be driving slower then my grandma (and she rides the bus), and people look at you like why are you driving like an *** bc it obnoxious loud, and unlike the HKS Hi Power or Megan, it does not have silencers or baffles for when your sick of the 3000 decibels. After entering these threads with you, I put in my baffles/silencers and I can compare it to stock, or at LEAST as quiet as the tanabe.

 

You bought a Lexus bc it's quiet? I don't get that. Why not get a hybrid?!

Oh yeah, that's your money so it's YOUR DECISION. My apologies sir

 

Me neither MILK, a 306 HP V6 should have some sound too it, and with the agressive lines it just needs some sound.... Milk also will you send me the link to the Megan exhaust you were talking about, just in case, I dont care if its ebay or a site that sells it, i am just wondering which one you are talking about. Thanks

 

megan drift spec. I bought it used in the classifieds.

 

I dont feel like my IS350 is a luxury car, If i wanted luxury i would have bout a 460 or CL550 or something bigger, this is a sports car with 4 doors so it should sound like a sports car

 

Im still wondering how the HKS hi-power with a invidia mid pipe and PPE headers with high flow cats, with OR without the resonator would sound..I think ill have to be the guinea pig.

Ohh and yea i think im lost, are you saying no to get the HKS hi-power and to go with the invidia mid pipe and megan drift spec. exhaust?

 

If it's between the two, hks hi power and Megan drift spec, go with the drift spec. Orginally, the op in another thread was just considering the hks. He currently has the tanabe with an invidia midpipe, a setup I've had, and imo sounds horrible bc it rasps too much. In that situation, I was recommending the hks. Also, both are a great choice bc of the silencers, with them in, it's equivalent to a tanabe Axel back. So its the best of both worlds.
