Not entering into the equation the performance gains you can get from a twin turbo, I absolutely hate the sound of the Artisian IS-F! Call me old fashioned, but I will take the growling sound of a non-forced induced V8 anyday of the week and if it was to be force induced I would choose a supercharger. That being said, hopefully my custom exhaust will sound like this one posted earlier...http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=wm0z3ABhKAg

sure it sounds good and all but its a blown lexus not a blown chevy. to each his own but its just to much like a american V8 for me. the exhaust is so loud it almost defeats the purpose of having the S/C IMO. (to hear that thing whine)
