Default WTB: M2 exhaust

Currently looking to buy an M2 exhaust, as it is one of the more popular exhausts now. Please PM me if you have one up for grabs.

I am in Tallahassee right now, but willing to drive and pick it up.

Because I may be able to get one for $200 or less and buy a roof spoiler for the same money

theres one thats for 170 +80 shipping on ebay. im debating whether to get it as well. Mixed reviews from the build quality where some were near perfect for bolt on and some were far from perfect.

I've read a bunch of reviews too, and this seems to be the exhaust to get. Why spend a grand on the f-sport one when there are others that are just as nice for 1/4 the price. I just don't know if I want to drop $250-300 right now when two weeks ago people bought them for $200 shipped. I also just bought the f-sport intake, so I rather save a few bucks here and there so that I can do other mods.

Just as nice? I don't think so. The fitmet definitely isn't just as nice. If you're looking to save money it's great but I wouldn't say just as nice. ESP After you just bought a 2011 F-Sport.. pony up! :P

All I can say is ehhhhhhhh when it comes to the f-sport exhaust. An HKS catback costs 1400 for a G or Z, so paying about the same for a catback doesnt work for me. I'm a college student and need to save when necessary, and this is the time to save. Just my honest opinion. If I had the grand to just dispose of and not care...I'd go with it, but can't at the moment.

just pay the 250 for it. none of us are going to hassle with shipping an exhaust as it'd already cost at least 60 to ship. we might as well keep the m2 (just my logic). 250 is like chump change, esp. since you own the lexus.

True that. I gues MODS can just close this one. Just tried to look and see if anyone didn't like it or wanted to get rid of it.

it is just as nice as any 800 dollar and under exhaust you can get for a lexus. the fitment on mine was good i did a little tweaking but not much. for 200 bucks shipped and a little tweaking beats paying a grand any day. the only way i suggest you baller money like that is if you are building a show car or you are a label *****. once the exhaust is under the car its basically 2 shiny tips thats all. and as far as sound i have been to a few meets here in houston and my m2 with airbox mod sound just as good as any tanabe or megan out there. some even thought mine sounded better but that is subjective to whos ear is listening. i am not disapointed at all. the sound fits the style and car. i cant stand a super loud car that is slow....lol

On the fitment, you have to know how to put it on. Most people just put the bolts on with an impact wrench and then expect it to line up perfectly. Mine was totally out of whack when I first put it in. After, I went back loosened everything up positioned the exhaust, then slowly tightened everything back up, and voila! Perfect fitment!

Sounds great. Thanks for the comment. I'm def going to go with the M2, I just don't know if I'm gonna buy coils first or do the exhaust, roof spoiler and sways.

i did the coils first, honestly just do the coils, sways and exhaust together cause your gonna jack up ur car for that you mind as well install everything at once so you dont have to mess with it again. its up to u though. roof spoiler is just cosmetic. the others are all performance based.
