Default What is the loudest exhaust, intake, and midpipe for the ISX50?

Simple question - What is the loudest exhaust, intake, and midpipe for the ISX50?

Doesn't have to be the loudest combo. Which brand of each individual part is the loudest? I have an IS250 and trying to make it as loud as possible, yet not raspy.


From what I've seen the F-Sport exhaust and the F-sport intake is the loudest.
Edit: Hoooly crap take a look at this:

However the HKS exhaust and the Fujita intake aren't too bad either..

Anyone have any different opinions?

Thanks!

Id probably say HKS Hi-Power + Invidia mid pipe would be the loudest In terms of mid pipe + axelback combo.

That sounds great cause I was already leaning more towards HKS because used it can be found for around $400, versus the F-sport's $900

Thanks!

Btw, what do you suggest for the intake?

I've ALWAYS been interested in straight pipes on any car, but I can never find enough information on this. What is the usual cost for something like this if I take it to a local muffler shop?

Also, I've heard that intakes drown out the exhaust sometimes, making the car less loud. This sounds kind of stupid to me.. is this true?

Yeah the intake takes over after ~4k RPM

Sounds so sexy

You should go F-Sport intake + invidia mid pipe + HKS hi power exhaust.

Now that would be LOUD!

I'm with this guy.
I understand people have the right to do what they want but when it comes to your car actually being obnoxious I don't get it.
I have the tanabe and had the M2 and both are loud enough, what your thinking of just seems to say "hey look at me, i'm cool".

Yes I agree. I've run a 427 c.i. Chevy Nova with open headers and it was quite loud
