Default Which exhaust would look good on a IS350 (Tom's rear lip)

Okay so I just bought a Tom's rear lip that I'm installing on my 350 next week.
And I would like to have some suggestion for a nice dual exhaust that I can fit on my car.

I don't want something really big or extremely noisy cause first it's ricer and second I don't want to attract the police (they are very strict in my city).

So I would like something bigger than OEM with a nice sound but that sstill have a OEM looking. So not too much !

So far I've checked the HKS = Too big

Borla = look nice... dunno if it's good ?

F-Sport = good looking and probably good quality and not too noisy, do it really worth the price ?


Other suggestion ?

Check out the Tanabe exhaust. Its quiet and seems to fit your needs, plus its cheaper than the Fsport

Btw just because an exhaust is big and loud on our cars doesnt mean its ricey but to each their own

ok thanks. When I said ricer it's just my opinion. So sorry if I hurt anybody saying this, I didn't mean it.

You dont want "noisy" "ricer" exhaust, but yet you look at two of the louder ones? (HKS and F-Sport)

Maybe search for exhaust setups to see where each setup falls in the "noisy" category.

I think F-Sport sound nice. And if I get caught by police I don't think I'll be in trouble with this one cause it's from Lexus. For the HKS I don't like it. I just mention those 3 exhaust cause so far I only know those. So I would like to have some suggestions about other brands,

I dont know how strict the police are where you live but I dont think you will get stopped for having an axle back exhaust.

I had the Fsport before and it sounded quiet to me. I would suggest looking at the greddy sp/se exhausts as well as the M2 (Tanabe clone) if you dont want "noisy".

Very strict. I have a Mazdaspeed Protegé as my winter car and I got 2 exhaust ticket last year for my OEM Mazdaspeed exhaust. I live in Québec so it's normal to pay a lot of taxes here.

If you want something quiet and aftermarket, you can't go wrong with a Tanabe. You can usually find them FS in the classifieds section from time to time. I had the tanabe and it was too quiet for my taste so I switched to the F-Sport and haven't looked back.

Thanks for your help everyone. So far I like the Greddy SE, F-Sport and Borla.
I know Tom's is a win for the quality but I don't really like this kind of quads exhaust.

Do someone have any opinion about the quality for Greddy and Borla ?

I know nothing about exhaust

I personally think the Greddy se, besides the blue tips, looks sick from behind because you can also see those large mufflers you can also do a custom quad set up
