Default getting hks exhaust

I am looking to get an exhaust system for my IS 250 and i came acrosee these.

http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=2348

They are the hks exhaust and they are catback. I just want to make sure that it comes with both of the exhaust. Is it possible to get both for just under 600?

Thanks

let me know your input on these

Yes, the exhaust comes with both mufflers/tips and yes you can get both for ~$600.

I would worry more about passing smog, voiding warranty, getting sick of the possible drone and the semi-ricer large diameter tin can look.

These are actually axle-back IMO. Good exhaust nonetheless, it was my first choice. But I found something else

Looks ok and sounds too quiet. But honestly you should do what YOU like not us. Remember everyone has their opinions on things, and opinion are like arseholes, everyones got them!

Ive have a 350 and its loud, so i could imagine it would be loud on a 250 also. Solo_Stage has the HKS on her 250, you might want to ask her, but i guarantee its gonna be loud either way.

I know that, but i need your opinions because i dont know what they sound like and look like in person. I want a medium sound and a good looking exhaust. The tanabe are to quite but look good, while the hks exhaust are noisy [good] but are to big... what do you guys think between the two?
