Default Exhaust Advice - IS350

Afternoon! I have a '16 IS350 F and I'm looking at exhaust options. I want something with some good, low tone, but nothing super loud or highschool kid sounding. Appreciate any advice and videos where I can actually hear the sound.

Thanks!

Matthew

Get a Joe z exhaust, I've heard them and they sound fantastic even as just a cat back.

I have a '14 IS350 Fsport with the Fsport exhaust and I love it. Low sound and it only roars when you start to get the RPMs higher. Not annoying either to your passengers our people you pass on the street. I can even have a phone conversation via BlueTooth and the other person can hear me. It doesn't sound cheap or look cheap either. Sorry, I do not have a video for sound but you can search for it on youtube and find plenty of videos. Good luck with your selection.

I love the F-Sport Exhaust. Found mine second hand for half the price of new, well worth it.

I'm looking for the same exact thing as you, and after watching many videos, the F-Sport exhaust looks like the best option.

I just bought a Stillen axle back and I'm pretty happy. Not to loud at all until you get on it. Here's a sound clip of my car on a warm start.

Invidia and Ark Performance both make a great system.
The Ark is going to be louder than the Invidia.
What kind of budget are you looking at?

Send me a PM!

Also, got the fsport. I was annoyed by the drone at first, because I was so use to the quite cabin. But got use to it! Can never imagine going back to stock.

Not my car. But here is a sound clip. Best one on YT imo.
