I attached a photo below of the 3 exhaust system im looking at, i don't want to change anything else other then whatever comes with the below, which is the best sounding with not alot of drone and doesn't set off codes? 2016 AWD Is350, thanks.

 

It won't set off codes, check out YouTube for sound clips

 

I have been in the business for 45 years, still in it today. Those look like they are pretty straightforward on how to put on. Actually, should be a piece of cake. This should have no effect on sensor reading or engine light. Stuff has gotten so direct fit today it has sorta made installations pretty easy. Diagnosis is still the secret to successfully repairing of any automobile. Good luck

 

So any idea on which of these 3 would sound the best with the least amount of drone? I was thinking more borla or invidia

 

Invidia axleback has no drone from my experience. It was actually too quiet for me so I sold it. Running Tanabe now.

 

I’m thinking borla after reading some reviews

 

I would think all of the axleback exhausts with mufflers are relatively quiet. I bought a full catback exhaust very similar to the invidia, but only installed the axle back portion first thinking the midpipe may be too loud for my taste. It was just slightly more noise than stock, so I went back and installed the rest of the system. I also have a 350 F-Sport, albeit RWD.

 

which midpipes work with the awd version?

i wanted something like this below, otherwise do you know of any good catbacks? Seems like everyone is saying axlebacks are not that loud


“Borla® - S-Type™ Stainless Steel Axle-Back Exhaust System with Split Rear Exit more details on - https://www.carid.com/2016-lexus-is-...parentsubmodel[]=ENGINE”

 

I believe Apexi has an AWD midpipe. Some axlebacks will be louder than others. Tanabe sounds perfect in my opinion. I also had F sport performance and like that one too. The three systems I had from quietest to loudest would be Invidia, F Sport, Tanabe.

 

is the tanabe axleback louder then the borla stype?

 

Unsure. The Tanabe is pretty tame but opens up when you step on it. There are a couple videos on youtube on an RC350.
