Please vote on which exhaust you OWN, not wish to own, but currently do own.

Also, once you vote, if you wouldn't mind filling out this simple questionaire.

----------------------------------------------------------

Lexus IS250/IS250 AWD/IS350?
Which Exhaust:
Dyno: Yes/No
Did you feel any Hp/Tq difference, if yes, how much/where in the powerband, ect?
Comments on your exhaust:
Any Pictures/Videos you may have

-----------------------------------------------------------


Thank you very much guys. I hope if this thread picks up, it will help the non-exhaust owners decide which they perfer.

Buds

Lexus HKS Exhaust (not in your poll choices)
Dyno: No
I don't feel much of a difference. Maybe a slight difference in the upper RPM ranges. Fuel economy seems to have gone up slightly, but that could very well be based on my driving during this tank.
I love the exhaust. I think it looks great, it's got a nice deep tone. I mostly hear the sound in the under 4000 RPM range. Once I get above 4K RPM the sound of the engine tends to drain out the exhaust.

Isn't that the HKS Hi-Power? I'm sorry I didn't add it, I tried to edit my poll to add more but can't figure out out.

note: On The Poll, I Cannot Edit It, But Instead Of Hks Hi-power, It Is Suppose To Be Hks True Duel (as The Two Above)

HKS high power is different from HKS Duel sport,( HKS Duel sport Exhaust and TRD are the same) I call it TRD cuz thats what my invoice saidat the dealer. High power has different tips, cans and is louder.

Rickster31

Uhoh.. the TRD is a completely different exhaust nrsk4u, the TRD is the one Lexus' offers as an upgrade..or so I thought??

nrsk4u

Yea , you've got it right!

HKS definitely makes the OEM Lexus "sport" exhaust option. If someone at Lexus decided to call it a TRD exhuast, then that is news to me. My guess is that the dealer just typed the description in as TRD even though it really isn't.

All the exhausts pictured above are the HKS exhaust that Lexus sells as an OEM option. The aftermarket HKS Hi-Power is what I have, and you can see pictures of it by clicking on the link in my signature.

Nice plate, Buds...

Lexus IS350
Which Exhaust: Tanabe Medalion Touring
Dyno: Yes, click here.
Did you feel any Hp/Tq difference, if yes, how much/where in the powerband, ect? Little, if any difference. Bought it for the sound and look.
Comments on your exhaust:
I've seen and heard most of the exhausts on the market with the exception of the Blitz, and I still haven't seen or heard one I like better than my Tanabe. No droning, and a sporty, low tone.

IS250 RWD AT
Tanabe Medalion Touring
Dyno: No

Maybe a little more HP and torque on high RPM but I normally don't drive my car hard unless merging into junctions and entering freeways.

Loved the sound. Makes it more sporty and yet not too loud and annoying.
