Default Muffler + Resonator Delete

Hey everyone,

I got the resonator delete for my is350 and a f sport intake with the cutout. I like how deep it sounds, but I honestly want more noise, it's just too quiet. Should I get a muffler delete or will it be too raspy and have too much drone?

Thanks in advance.

Every YouTube video I have seen with a muffler delete for our cars sounds horrible to me. Also, the people doing the aforementioned mod in those videos, all seem to wear backwards hats, polarized sunglasses and vape through the moonroof...lol

I feel like muffler delete is good on some of the cheaper, older cars but doesn’t sound good and doesn’t fit on Lexus which is more ‚luxury’ brand.
For each their own thought but…
I would say save some money for good exhaust system or some axleback for better sound!

Sounds good to me! Would you reccomend any cheap axle backs? I plan on getting the ark exhaust next year but would like something temporary.

I had a muffler delete and resonator delete and it sounded amazing. It was just attracting too much attention from police

The Lexus L performance muffler for the IS sounds nice and isn’t obnoxious and about a thousand dollars looks pretty nice from the rear also. Some dealers were putting those on some IS350s when I was shopping earlier this year.

Muffler Delete + resonator delete = drone you likely won't be able to to handle.

Do it right once and you'll better off with a quality exhaust.
