Default Custom IS350 Exhaust... DONE AND INSTALLED

Hey all..

So, after reading so much about exhausts, I decided instead of posting about DOING it I figured I would wait and post after it was DONE.

Anyways, it was built and installed today and I could not be happier. It honestly sounds like a pissed off Ferrari or Single Turbo Supra. The video link is below. It is a full exhaust, removing the second set of CATs.. From feeling alone I can definitely feel a nice increase in HP, however I have yet to dyno it to compare to stock ratings.

I'll post actual pics of the exhaust probably tomorrow. In the meantime, here is the video.

Comments and opinions are welcomed!!

We played with the sound. I wanted mine to be loud and deep. That was the fun part about testing it out, the builder/installer was able to make it quieter or louder based on my preference, and I opted for it to be nice and loud .

Nice sounding setup. What exactly did you do for it? Is there any droning from inside the car?

Were you shifting manually? I heard you bouncing off the rev limiter several times. Does sound nice but but yeah a bit loud for most.

Need pictures (under the car shots) :P

Also, are you going with an H-Pipe or X-pipe setup.

What are you using for resonation (resonators) and what type of muffler are you using (canistor style or oval muffler style)?

Thanks for the info.
