For the ones I've found so far, I keep running into the same problem.
No one makes a mirrored pair of them. They are are built for the same location.
With the offset of our mufflers/tips, I would have to flip one of these mufflers over, and have the extension pipe towards the ground and visible. Would look like **** IMO.
Not really sure how one could do it.

That's an idea. Just flip it to the otherside and weld back on.
Yeah not sure what that's about ($3K). Youtube videos show a twin loop on other cars and it has the same lower tone, so I'm thinking at 120 for the mufflers shipped and another maybe 100 to weld/install. Might have a "ballin' on a budget" exhaust that sounds deeper than some of the usual 2IS exhaust suspects.

Somebody do a custom eBay setup and let us know how it works out. If you are welding couldnt use a twin loop setup off eBay for a 350z . This seem to be mirrored and it would be less work/labor at the shop to make it fit
And I just looked on eBay and found a set that's mirrored and a set that's twin loop with the muffler centered so no flipping or mirroring is needed

Just called my friend and showed him the clip. He told me if I get the mufflers he will retro fit the for me for free. I really wasn't a fan of loud exhaust on a Lexus but this reminds me of a isf sound which I like. I only got a is250 so I don't know how the sound is gonna come out. But if it's 85 percent of the sound that the op posted I would be totally happy especially since I am only spending 160 bucks at the most . If it sucks I just will sell it or trash , not a big deal to experiment for that cheap.
Gonna take some measurements before I order , want to make sure I got clearance for a slightly taller muffler and I need to find a muffler with nicer beefier tips. Like the Japan exhaust

Found a twin pair just had to do a little research
ebay seller said they have left and right side to this. i dont know if its true but i asked for pics. so i will let you guys know what i end up doing
Project balling on a budget has begun. If this works everyone who I give the info to about the setup should owe me 50 bucks lmao trying to save you guys 2600+ dollars

i am starting to wonder if that is 350 is really a isf seems to be big difference in the sound of a suruga speed on a is250 and it looks like more then a axle back under the car ... the sounds goes from a beast on a 350 to a tame sound that i almost have now from my m2 exhaust and joez intake. seems like this project has just come to a crashing holt. but i would have been all over this if i could get the sound of a is350
checkout the 3rd video its a is350 with the suruga speed exhaust sounds totally different then that is350 first posted by the op, either this is a bait and swith or maybe he deleted his cats or something but i dont think its just this exhaust.... imo

Hey stasis, I think the first video sounds like it's inside the shop and close to a wall. Sounds like the camera is picking up low reverberation from that. I definitely see how the 250 vs 350 exhaust note is different though. I don't like the 3.5 tips either.
Where are you are TX? I'd like to hear the m2 in person to compare to these before I start as well. I definitely like the deeper exhaust tone of these.

yeah maybe it is banging off the shop walls but i still think it wide open or has a cat delete or something but i live in the katy area close to george bush park. hit me up if you get in the area if you wanna hear the m2.... sounds like a tanabe exhaust system just a tad louder i like it alot but would like the prowl of the 350 in the first post alot better lol.
