Default Best exhaust for is350 f sport?

What is the best exhaust for the is350 ?
-Not wanting something that creates too much drone in the car when casually driving
-Looking for something that will actually sound different from the stock exhaust

invidia q300 axle back
invidia q300 + invidia midpipe
F sport exhaust axle back
F sport exhaust + invidia midpipe
Ark grip catback

Currently debating between these set ups.
Which do you guys think is the best deal for its money

Joe Z fans will say Joe Z/PTS


ark fans will say ark


quiet/no drone fans will say f sport or magnaflow or any axel back only


penny pinchers will say tsudo or magnaflow


people who want to looks different will say any quad tip exhaust


but of all that you listed, I would go with (F)none of the above. add another vote for joe z/pts from me.

I think you will soon find out that a majority of people here have the Joe Z setup. I gotta say that I love mine.

No or minimal drone is a key priority of mine, so I opted for the Magnaflow exhaust. Dont have the car yet and the exhaust doesn't arrive till Monday. Once its installed I'll be sure to post a video.

^ Fair, but you kinda expect the OEM to be stupid over priced for people who are too afraid to touch a single bolt on their own car and can roll the cost into their lease payment.

Hey can someone with a JoeZ cat back post a video of the exhaust sound? The only JoeZ catback video i can find doesn't seem to have good audio. Thanks!

To resurrect this dead thread, but I'm torn between the Ark and JoeZ cat back. From what I read the JoeZ is supposed to be a bit quieter than the ARK. Is this true? or are they about the same? I'm looking for something with a definitive growl, but don't really want to be obnoxious. I am also wondering if the JoeZ will have more drone than the Ark due to the fact that there are no Helmholtz resonators used in the design. Does anyone have any insight to this either?

I first started out with the invidia catback but it was too quiet so I switched out the invidia axleback with ark.
