i helped installed my friends Touring and it was really really nice. Im thinking about buying it for my car..

although the system operates at only 2db more, you also have to take into account the tone of the thing. It is definitely more free flowing than the stocker, and still has a responsible db level.

Hey Varok, I was flipping through a magazine earlier, either import tuner or super street, but there was a Tanabe ad in there and white IS350. Was this yours?? Looked good, and congrats lol.

varok,

We will be able to release some of the pictures, now that the ad is out. We will probably start a new thread, and size them for wallpaper use.

The thing I don’t like about the Tanabe exhaust is that it is not a True Dual exhaust (I understand why), but I like the tone it produces, I might even consider it a little conservative (Just a Tad Bit). I am looking for something In-between the LMS and the Tanabe exhaust. And what other choice do I have left for now, but to go custom.

In conclusion: What I am looking for

A true DUAL exhaust (LMS exhaust) with the tonal similarities of the TANABE exhaust.

Now the question is can this be done? Would the Tanabe and the LMS mixed together work--if someone could actually get the Welds right?

P.S.

I have the LMS exhaust installed, and the TANABE exhaust (Not Installed). Is anyone will to try it out (Muffler shops)?
