From my understanding with the HKS the exhaust has a very unique exhaust note, exotic sounding and has the Helmholtz chambers that HKS built into the exhaust to qualm any drone that is inherent in a lot of exhaust for V8's

I don't think anybody will say that it is loud by any stretch and you shouldn't have any issues with noise IMO

Just the rear section is pretty tame. Different note like mentioned but not obnoxious. Even with the headers my buddy had. But adding the center section it was pretty damn loud, and the rasp was painful honestly.

Meisterschaft for the remote is a way to go, but the HKS is pretty tame so either way its a good option

"IMO" is internet shorthand for "in my opinion". Alternative is "IMHO" for "in my humble opinion".

Club Lexus vendor PPE Engineering also offers a dual mode exhaust which becomes quieter with the push of a button.

Good luck with your search for the best exhaust.

THe hks axle back is very quiet. quieter than the factory exhaust. i chopped out the secondary cats and left the resonator in and although it's still not very loud, I quite like where it's at. It's very similar to the youtube clip you find here...

I want to get headers but i don't like the raspiness so I have been holding off. I love the sound of the exhaust the way it is. Turns many heads and as mentioned above has a really unique sound. I have zero drone. It's not irritating at all on long road trips. You won't be disappointed if you want an exhaust that sounds nice but rather tame; however, when you get on it, she screams. Kind like a lady in the streets but a freak in the sheets mentality.

You mean dis car? Hehe. Buddy bought it and brought it up to WA. I had it for a few days cause I was a potential buyer but was bad timing and passed it up.

No headers, the full system sounds great. With headers it's awful.
