IS250 exhaust suggestions
Hi ppl, I have an IS250 in Hong Kong... looking for exhausts, everything is stock right now.
i heard HKS sounds good? but my past experience tells me that HKS products are pretty loud, which = annoying
also, my friend who had the tanabe thought it was going to be not as annoying, but after a while said he hated it
Anyways, I'm looking for an exhaust that is bigger, looks better than the stock one. Sounds a little louder, and wont annoy the **** out of me. Btw, I usually drive at speeds under 65mph. not that i cant drive fast, its the traffic.
suggestions... please
Thanks!

Tanabe is what you want.
Anything else will be louder yet produce no additional power.

Because there's no way on earth they'd get those gains from only a midpipe.
The exhaust itself is about 7-8 hp and a midpipe is typically 1-2 hp, so managing 9.8 out of both makes sense... the way they word it they're claiming 10 from just the midpipe, and that's just not possible. (they also dynoed in 3rd gear for some weird reason, though that might explain why they barely hit 250 WITH the mods when a stock 350 normally dynos about 265)
Note the midpipe will fail inspection anyplace with a visual inspection (not just theirs, any brand) and, to me, it's not worth the cost for 1-2 more hp... but up to you.

I've gotta say...
since the is250 isnt fast anyways, i'm looking to go with looks than performance. In terms of looks, i like the HKS better.
Does anyone know if the HKS will be annoying, even with stock midpipe?
because I've read other reviews saying "the sound would take some time to get used to" meaning... it will be annoying??
btw... sometimes its pretty hard to tell if its annoying from youtube vids...

The quitest aftermarket exhaust that I know of is Tanabe... I have heard many coming out to all the meets here.
Yes, HKS will be louder than Tanabe... both cases with the stock mid-pipe. I have stock mid-pipe and it's slightly louder than stock. HKS is louder...
If Tanabe is still too loud for you, why not swap the exhaust tips? That way, it's still quiet like stock, but looks aftermarket.
