I have the 5Zigen Fireball on my IS. It has a nice low deep tone and is not noticeable at idle. It starts to get become noticeable at about 3500 rpm.

Apparently a dyno run netted a 9whp w/this exhaust.

It's not too big and fills the bumber cutout nicely.

I have heard good things about the HKS Hiper exhaust. I believe there are some sound clips in the archives on IS300.net. I have not seen any dyno results for the Hipr though.

I'm waiting on my SRT intake and the HKS Hiper will be my next purchase.

as of right now, the blitz nur spec seems to be the best exhaust for me. but i will wait for one that looks close to stock if not stock with extremely low noise.
