Definitely go on youtube.

Best sounding? In my opinion, HKS... by far.

Best looking? Greddy SP2.

I just ordered Greddy Evo3 (almost seems like a compromise between the two), so I'll have to report how it is... there's limited info out there on this exhaust.

Wald and Greddy sound great. Fujitsubo has a nice sound.

I have a F-Sport exhaust and I couldn't be happier. I love the sound of the F-Sport.

If I had it all to do over, I wouldn't have bought my evo3. It's LOUD through 5th gear at normal acceleration, with a bit of drone. I decided not to even put on the invidia midpipe for the time being. However, I think it's getting a little quieter as the car is driven more since I put it on 2 months ago. Also, fitment is a little off at the midpipe flange. I had to buy all new SS non-oem bolts that were longer to get it to seal properly.

I had Tanabe, HKS, Greddy and Megan, my first choice for sound was the Megan and Greddy second.

Not sure if the IS250 sounds similar to the IS350 but i have the Original Lexus HKS on my IS350 and really like it. It is not too loud and dronny for long commute.

If you are talking about the factory optional F-sport exhaust I agree, it's perfect!

Megan mid section + axle back oe-rs?
I was thinking of this setup. Just the fact that they have a silencer option.
