Default Just got a 2012 IS 350

I finally bought my first lexus today, which is a 2012 IS 350. I'm really excited about being part of the lexus family. I really want to get a new exhaust system to make it sound better and was wondering whats some good exhaust systems that are loud and low grumbling. My friend has a wrx sport package and his exhaust sounds awsome. Is there something similar for a lexus?

I love my F sport exhaust. pretty expensive but LOVE the way looks and sounds. It's even louder with a midpipe but I decided not to go that route. Youtube search some brands you're interested in and see if you like any of them to make your decision. Sound quality on the videos aren't that great but it gives you an idea of what to expect. GL!

Tanabe if you don't want anything too loud. F-Sport, Greddy and HKS are a little louder. ARK produced one for the IS looks and sounds nice. Check out the YouTube videos on each of them. Can't go wrong with either.

Good luck
