What about the Invidia exhaust? I noticed that Spine911 is selling a brand new one in the classifieds.

Does anyone know how loud it is compared to the Tanabe? Also how it looks compared to the Tanabe as well? Did a search and didn't find much. Looks like more people when the Tanabe route.

I am on the fence between the two b/c I would save some $$ going with the Tanabe and the other thing is I have not heard how it sounds in person compared with the F-Sport. I have read that the Tanabe is quieter than the F-Sport?

Another question I have is if I should wait until I break in the car a lil bit more? I only have 500 miles on it and my friend suggested I wait till at least 5k miles b/c he thinks I will drive the car a lil harder b/c I'll have exhaust on it (i.e. harder accelerations).

I have the Tanabe and I love it. If your anywhere near me you can listen in person I also have a post on youtube.

lol maybe you can ask them to prove you why and how. i have had 5 lexus, all modded, and i go in and out of dealerships, never had any problems. all my warranty work done accordingly.

there is a law here in the US protecting owners using aftermarket parts. dealerships will have to prove that the parts are directly the reason for problems in order to void ONLY that part of the warranty.

what that means is, if you put on aftermarket springs and the shocks blown, then yup, warranty on that gone coz' shorter springs will put more stress on the shocks. but if you put on springs and your engine blown, they will have to fix your car.

Thanks for the youtube clip and the offer. The exhaust sounds great.
