Default Need help on choosing exhaust!!!

Okay, so im trying not to spend too much money just for this axle back. I'm either on planning on getting the M2 performance exhaust off of ebay, or the Megan Drift Spec exhaust. The m2 is costing me $300 while the Megan is costing me $350 ish. Some people say the Megan is the loudest it gets with the IS250 exhaust, and the exhaust comes out at an angle. The m2 looks just like a tanabe and isnt the loudest thing out there, but it is still yet loud. What are your thoughts? Which one should i get?

In the end, its all up to personal preference and budget. You can always buy the new megan exhaust, and buy a used intake off of someone here rather than paying the full price for a new one

I feel you im 19, but i got this car when i was 17. Im all about saving money and let me tell you broke highschool kid>broke college kid haha. I did alot of cheap mods. And if i didnt buy the last one a few days ago i would have pointed you in the direction towards the top fuel intake. It was originally 200 something but was on closeout for $70 since the US location is closing down. A piece of advice would be buy cheap mods only if they make a difference! Think carefully before you buy cause there are tons of things you could do with that money. The only thing i didnt cheap out on was wheels. Everything else was bought with a tight budget in mind. I did however research alot on each product to make sure it was good quality. Have fun modding!

Just preference of sound, I can't imagine them being more than a few HP increase difference between them.
