Hey guys, I was thinking about installing a tanabe exhaust but was wondering if the sound is really loud. I like my cars quiet but the IS is way too quiet IMO. Also, is it necessary to install an intake too? I wish the IS came with an exhaust sound like the G35 and 350Z.

 

It is perfect in mo. just a note of rumble but nothing that detracts from the lexus feel of the car. I would put it close to a G35 inside and a tad quiter outside. You hear it but dont feel it if you get what I mean. You will not be disappointed in the purchase it fits the car nicely sound and looks. The only problem is you will see how rich these cars run on the tips they turn black quickly!! Good Luck
