Default 2006 Lexus IS250 Exhaust Upgrade

Hi folks,

Need some help/opinion/recommendations for upgrading my exhaust on my IS250 RWD.

I saw this on youtube, and the exhaust kit this person has on theirs sounds, and looks good in my opinion:


What do you all think?

I like the appearance, and the sound because I don't like it loud, but more like a G35/37 growl.

Is this something folks would recommend? If not, could you suggest another?

Also, what would I need to purchase? (I'm not a super automotive tech savvy person) I presume a full kit, but can someone suggest a site, or installer near Toronto?


Thanks,

HKS hi power is actually pretty loud....it's one of the loudest axle-backs for our cars. All you need is the exhaust itself. I'd recommend installing it yourself. It's really easy as long as you can jack up the car and get under it. If you insist on professional installation, most shops should be able to do it in half an hour or less. It doesn't take too much work to do.

N1 style mufflers tend to be on the louder side due to its straight design. If you want nice sound, I would go with an Invidia Catback. One of the best sounding exhaust out there


If money is the issue, then you cant really go wrong with an M2 with a resonator delete

If you know any good sites for pricing, or local shops near Toronto feel free to send the deets

Im sure some other people can recommend some good sites but Ebay is probably your best bet for best pricing plus financial security. I've had some issues with some sites but then ordered on ebay and came days later

Just to close the loop, I ended up going with a Joe-Z full catback system. It's really nice - will post some pics/vid when I get a chance.
