Default Cat Back Exhaust Suggestions?

What I am looking for is a Cat back exhaust for my 11' IS250 AWD. I am looking for members that have or had experience with these two exhaust and how they feel about them. I am looking for something louder than stock though not too loud. I just want to hear my exhaust a little more, nothing too throaty. I do want to get a little bit of increased hp too. I noticed there is a couple on ebay FUJITSUBO LEGALIS R and MAGNAFLOW 16764. All I know, is that I do not want the F-sport as it is only axle back and the price is kind of a joke. Thanks

The ones you're asking about are axle-backs too, regardless of what a vendor selling them calls em.

Plus, you have an AWD, axle-back is all you'll get since nobody makes a midpipe for AWD vehicles.


See pictures here:

My advice for anybody wanting just a little louder than stock for a good price is find a nice used Tanabe... a little louder/throatier than stock but not LOUD, excellent fit and finish, and the same 7 hp gain everyone elses exhaust gives, and runs about $400.

Cool

I found this on Ebay..(I know..it's ebay..) but when you think about it...an exhaust is an exhaust...what is so much different than the (GReddy, Megan, HKS...). For $199... I personally don't find it too expensive, knowing that I'm not trying to make my Is250 any faster, but maybe wanting to make it a little different, give it some style,..what do ya'll think about this? Maybe some one bought this already, and I sure would gladly hear some feedback! Take a look!http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...ilies/woot.gif

I say go with the fujitsubo Legalis R. It looks stock, lighter than stock, quality welds, and it noticable to you with out the annoying sounds.

could get the M2 Performance exhaust off of ebay. Stainless steel, pretty good steel forging and everything. Running under $300 bucks.

I am still in need of help. The M2 I am not interested in at all, also I have decided against the F-Sport and Fujitsubo Legalis R. I want something a little louder than the Fujitsubo. I guess I need to find more sound clips with more exhausts to decide. How is the Tanabe vs Magnaflow cat back exhaust systems?

Tanabe is always a good option. Mine has 50k+ miles with no issues, just some dirty tips -lol
