well since its CUSTOM u can use whatever the hell you want. if i was gonna go custom i'd get something that is unique, ala borla on an IS. that would probably sound nice.

Yeah I'm waiting for Borla to produce an exhaust for the IS350. I believe Borla is working with TeamLexus as well.

I don't think I've heard a bad sounding borla before.

Borla on a G35 sounds awesome, so I'm *hoping* it would sound good on our cars.

IMO, custom is the only way to go. Since it is the only way to go dual and keep the cats.

Its also possible to just go true dual, and keep the existing exhaust. SHouldnt be too loud

However, I am not changing a thing on my car. I just want some new tips

since you think custom is the only way to go, good thing ur just keeping ur tips.

each company has different products that sound different. if you are that concerned about sound you better sit on your hands for a good 6mo yr to see what the end result is.

as far as borla, yes they are making a custom sideskirt exit exhaust for TL. we might see something from them might not.

Have you looked under the IS? Get an axleback exhaust and tell me how much more power you make.

some of the GS guys have had good results with Magnaflow. I had Stillen exhaust on my 4Runner which used a Magnaflow and it sounded pretty good.

typical..... people who dont know what they are talking about, are always so quick to call people names.

The Tanabe exhaust is axleback
The HKS exhaust was slated to be axle back

An exhaust made by a major manufacturer will be axle back. Why.... because the Cats are welded to Y pipe and the resonater.... And the resonator is located at ?

Large manufacturers normally make exhausts that keep the cats.
