got it put on this morning

will make vid for sound after work

so far... i love the slanted fit.. small canisters compared HKS.. and i love the sound.. very deep and not one bit of high pitch whine even at wide open throttle.. this is without the silencers.. i took them out

edit: driving home from work.. very deep but only at lower rpm and lower gears.. at wide open throttle.. it does scream like any other exhaust..

i also noticed that at cruising.. 5th or 6th gear above 2500rpm.. it's virtually silent.. i have yet to take it on the freeway so i can't say about drone at around 80mph but its definitely quieter then the hks i heard

hmmm not a fan of angled cans and i think it sticks out too much

but dont mind me...i'm just picky lol

 

Is there a benefit (performance or otherwise) to using an angled exhaust?

Also, I'm not a fan of the holes in the exhaust tips - I assume those are for the silencers. Overall, I like the look of the HKS Hi-Power more, but I might be a bit biased.

 

the only thing i dont like about the hks is the huge canisters and 4.5 inch tips.. it just looks too big for the IS.. it looks like two rockets hanging out back

personally i like angled exhausts.. i've had hks angled exhausts on my previous two cars.. if the hks for the IS was angled.. i think it wouldn't look as big as it does now just completely straight..

 

i like how the angled exhaust.. isn't toooo angled! it took me a few looks to realize it was angled

lol

i'll wait for your sound clip/video to decide wether or not I want one

 

looks good...are you planning to get the midpipe too?

 

video and first post updated

 

no i dont think i want the midpipe.. without the resonators.. the high pitched whine is too ricey.. not for a lexus.. its all about the deep tone so i think this is perfect

 

hm..it's different!
congrats on your new exhaust!! it sounds pretty deep!!
I'm not too sure about the angle exhaust tho..it looks good on sporty
coupe cars...but watevers..whatever floats your boat bro!!

 

thanks.. its actually weird that the hks for 2is isn't angled.. because the hi power for GS is angled.. i would have gotten the hks a while back if it weren't completely straight.. i almost did come to think of it..

i only like the round canister N1 style exhausts so i had limited choice in the affordable range.. i do like the tanabe look tho.. it fits our car nice.. but its not a round canister.. thats just my thing lol

 

lol...just realize that there are holes in your exhaust tip..why is that?
does that give you an extra HP??

 

^^haha no, they are whistle tips whoo whoo!.....jk, it is from where he removed the silencers

 

lol..I see..so how does it look with the silencer??

 

tagged for home.

 

congrats on the exhaust!!!!! Drive it on the freeway and let us know about the drone... im really considering buying this exhaust..
