The second one is louder (at least thats what ive heard), i personally like the original one more, and thats the one i currently have.
I am very pleased with the 1st generation one so far, sounds good, but still isn't "too" loud, hardly ever drones on the highway or anything else well!

Hope this helps!

There is no difference between the non-engraved and engraved F-Sport exhaust besides the engraving at the exhaust tips. However, if you're referring to the Lexus HKS exhaust that came before the F-Sport (non-engraved/engraved), then that's where the audible differences lie.

Only issue about the Lexus HKS exhaust is that it has been discontinued and was subsequently replaced by the F-Sport exhaust also made by HKS.

These two links goes over the differences between the Lexus HKS and F-Sport exhaust.

Well put my friend. My only question is for the price of the F Sport system, you realize you are paying $$$ for sound, minimal gains (hp) and the name F Sport. IMO yes it sounds nice, is it worth the money no. To each their own but for the money look at Greddy, if you want a really nice sound and a good performance increase look into JOE Z system. It will make your system a true dual and not just an axle back set up which to me is basically a muffler with 3 feet of piping connecting the the rest of the system. But do some research and see what you could come up with.
