I like the Carson over the Blitz, it's got that nice throaty sound.. Depends what you like.. From what i've read on here and other lexus forums, the Blitz is definetly louder than the Carson

for the sound I'd go w/ the Blitz.... I have the blitz and to me its the perfect medium. Not too loud and not quiet. If you want a loud car you might want to look at other exhausts out there that might sound a bit more aggressive. The Blitz is relatively quiet IMO amongst its competitors.

as far as performance gains you might just want to save your money and scratch the whole exhaust idea. its not worth it..... 2-3 hp max.

seriously... no LIE..... from my personal taste... i dont like anything too loud and obtrusive.... I also like to know that I have the exhaust note there when I want to let it roar.... so I went shopping around various exhausts and I was open to all of them.... for me.... the Blitz Nur Spec was perfect for me and so I went searching for it and it took me about 1 month to get it in.

I also hear though that the Apexi is also nice along the lines of the Blitz.... what sealed it for me was that the Blitz and the Apexi both protrude out a bit longer giving a nice look in the rear. Some of the other exhausts sit too far flush in the bumper which appeals to some ppl but jus tnot for me.

as far as cat back, rear section only etc etc..... I could care less b/c if there is a difference at all its only 1-2 hp.....

I picked the BLitz b/c ppl said it sounds decent and i love the way it looks from all angles.... now that I have it... i love the sound and I'm happy b/c its not too obtrusive.
