I probably have more time with this new exhaust than anyone else aside from Joe himself and the manufacturers.
Now that I heard the Blitz, I've heard every single exhaust available for the 2IS. The sound produced by this exhaust is truly one of my favorites. It's aggressive sounding at low RPM's, but amazingly the drone goes away when cruising the freeway. I was completely blown away by this, as I was expecting a considerable amount of drone judging from the aggressive sound a low RPM's. The car also felt like it pulled pretty hard. Until Joe gets the sound clips up, if anyone has any questions as to sound (in comparison with other exhausts) I'd be happy to help.

how does this exhaust compare to the subdued sound of the tanabe and the drone yo speak of...is there an in-cabin drone/resonation at low rpm?

JoeZ & Luis,
How does it sound when compared to a 20 year old set of cherry bomb glass packs? Just kidding
I am not yet in the market for a full exhaust as I have gone with headers already but is there a plan to make a version for the AWD IS250? The driver's side exhaust flange is in a slightly different location as Lexus needed to make room for the front drive shaft.
Just curious,
Regards,

If we can get an IS250AWD in SoCal on the lift, we can evaluate the possibilities....

Yes very comparible... as far as a sport luxury sound goes..
Cruise around town and stop and go sounds perfectly..
There is NO annoying resonance or deep hum inside the cabin.
