megan axle back installed (pics and vid)
got it put on this morning
will make vid for sound after work
so far... i love the slanted fit.. small canisters compared HKS.. and i love the sound.. very deep and not one bit of high pitch whine even at wide open throttle.. this is without the silencers.. i took them out
edit: driving home from work.. very deep but only at lower rpm and lower gears.. at wide open throttle.. it does scream like any other exhaust..
i also noticed that at cruising.. 5th or 6th gear above 2500rpm.. it's virtually silent.. i have yet to take it on the freeway so i can't say about drone at around 80mph but its definitely quieter then the hks i heard

the only thing i dont like about the hks is the huge canisters and 4.5 inch tips.. it just looks too big for the IS.. it looks like two rockets hanging out back
personally i like angled exhausts.. i've had hks angled exhausts on my previous two cars.. if the hks for the IS was angled.. i think it wouldn't look as big as it does now just completely straight..

thanks.. its actually weird that the hks for 2is isn't angled.. because the hi power for GS is angled.. i would have gotten the hks a while back if it weren't completely straight.. i almost did come to think of it..
i only like the round canister N1 style exhausts so i had limited choice in the affordable range.. i do like the tanabe look tho.. it fits our car nice.. but its not a round canister.. thats just my thing lol
