F-Sport Exhaust + Megan Racing Midpipe Exhaust Video
Hey CL, finally got around to posting a little video of the F-Sport exhaust and Megan midpipe combination. So after getting the IS in 2008, I upgraded over stock to the F-Sport exhaust in 2009 and loved it. Didn't feel it was too loud but gave the IS that extra "bite" and it didn't drone which I loved! Well fast forward to summer 2011 and that initial roar that I Ioved became dull and ordinary. I knew the only way to change this was switching exhausts or adding a midpipe. I chose the latter. Next was to choose either Invidia or Megan. I wanted a deep tone to accompany the F-Sport exhaust. The Invidia was alluring to my wallets sense, but the Megan was where I knew in my heart was. Where (to me) the Invidia sounds obnoxiously ricey and raw, the Megan sounds burly and refined. So I bit the bullet, bought the Megan, had it shipped to the shop. Went down and got it installed, and let me say I never looked back, grinning ear to ear on the way out. The result is something that is best heard in person, but I'll try my best in this short video. The Megan really adds that extra "punch" I was looking for, kind of where the F-Sport ends the intake and midpipe begins a sonorous howl. The powerband feels stronger too, though I have yet to visit a dyno. At start up the F-Sport growls deeper but its still settles down to a low hum. Ease into the throttle and she purrs. Press the accelerator further and your delighted to a mean burble. When the powerband hits, your graced with authority and speed. Mash it to WOT and the ferocious nature of the this setup comes to play. A symphony to my ears, hopefully I can add a second video of the cabin during both accelerative and idle exhaust tests to this thread. Enjoy!
good vid bro.. I really like the sound.. that my next project this summer...
where did you bought your Megan Racing Midpipe from?
through a local shop called SpeedElement. They shipped it to their facility and did the install. All I had to do was bring the car (didn't have to worry about transporting a huge pipe in my car )
Lexus only makes the F-Sport exhaust (axle back), which bolts onto the oem midpipe which is what the Megan replaced. I wish Lexus made an F-Sport midpipe to accompany the exhaust

I must have been mistaken. Due to the price of the F Sport exhaust, I thought it was a "full" cat-back.
Sounds sick bro good job, i read above about the drone above 80 but I recently took my HKS Hi-Power due to the drone on the highway, i took it off lol hows the drone with the midpipe around 65-70
