I'm assuming this is something like the Crawford Performance 'gymkhana' style of exhaust?

Above 2000rpm, it rips a very nice loud, deep and exotic note. Not like a Ferrari V8 which is high pitch and hollow, but deep, exotic, and loud... not to be mistaken for a loud Mustang for sure. Lot of heads turning when you drive around thinking, "that sound cant be coming from that Lexus?"

I am going to keep the Bazooka upgrade installed on my personal ISF, unless the wife makes me go back to mufflers:-)

No, I think our "Bazooka" system is much more streetable than the gymkhana exhaust you are referring to.

The Borla works out really nice for doing these sort of upgrades because it has a large resonator (which is really a muffler) just in front of the rear differential. So when you go straight pipes out the back and eliminate the dual rear mufflers, its no where as extreme as using cutouts.

I actually think sound level is about the same as the ISS Forged exhaust. But, it sounds different than ISS Forged, perhaps a bit deeper. Both sound great.

Actually jdmV8 was over yesterday with his ISS Forged, but unfortunately I didn't think of taking a sound clip from his car.... will try to do so soon.

Do it soon! I'm not sure how much longer I can stand a stock sounding car before I break down and buy the first thing I can find

So far my favorite looking tips are the quad exhaust from iss.I like how unique the stock tips are but like the round ones better.

Eh. I don't like just how aftermarket the exhaust systems for this car look: without the mesh of the OEM exhaust finisher/bumper garnish it looks like part of the bumper is missing...which it is.

Hmm, that sounds mighty appealing if it indeed doens't scream attention at 2k rpm. That way I can let off the gas and cruise by cops without hassle

I actually want to get rid of the quad tips and go with one large tip on each side like a 4.5 or 5".

^Your car looks amazing. To be honest, the big single exhaust tips on each side looks more like a ISx50 with a modified exhaust to me.
