Check the Performance section for more threads!

I just picked up a Greddy SE. I love it. It's very quiet compared to what I am use to. So I picked up an Invidia Midpipe to pair up to the Greddy SE. The Greddy SE has great fitment, quiet sound and good quality. I picked mine up for $740 new shipped.

The F Sport is a bit louder. Has the Lexus name though. Cost a bit more, yet quality and sound seem to be great as well. It's really up to what you want. Louder or quieter. Burnt Ti tips or polished tips. Price. etc.

from what i know, i dont beleive the f-sport has a deep sound. its more of a higher pitched sound than it is deep. I beleive the best exhaust would be a Tanabe, its known to be a quiet exhaust, and has a deep tone. I was going to get a Tanabe myself, but i ended up getting an f-sport (still waiting for it to arrive by mail), however I am now wishing i got the Tanabe after hearing the f-sport exhaust whilst driving, it sounds weirdish to me, but i hope it wont sound like that in person... ill have to wait and see.

I only looked into the Greddy SE and the Tanabe. I went with the Greddy SE and love it. Reminds me of my old T1R on my S2000. Looks like nicer quality though. Sounds great on what I feel a Lexus should sound like.

Throwing on the Invidia Midpipe. I think it will be a little to loud for me.....but we will see

Just installed my F-Sport Exhaust this past weekend and love it!

I would take a video for you if needed but there are plenty out there, just let me know.

I always thought the F Sport was pretty freakin deep as well. That's one reason I went with the Greddy SE. Not as deep. More of a quiet melow sound IMO.

The Greddy SE is actually discontinued as well I believe. It is being replaced with the same model but with polished tips....no burnt blue.
