I need to change this exhaust cause it makes me feel like I bought one of those cheapy ebay exhausts and I'm pretty damn disappointed..

personally i think the lexus hks exhaust fits better on the car (no gaps between the rear lip), especially if you have the rear gfx kit. but i'm probably a little bias because I have it on my car. downfall would probably be the sound for most of you, because it is definitely not as loud as the tanabe. the lexus hks makes a nice tone, but at times i wish it were louder. that's why i have the fujita intake to make up for it.

Yeah, I love the exhaust except during hill climbs, that is when it makes a Lexus sound like a Honda....

So those of you with tanabe and a new midpipe, would you say it eliminates the annoying sound during hill climbs?

after breaking in Tanabe sounds a lot better. yeah hill climb is the loudest but then I don't drive up hill too often anyway.

Unfortunately, where I live and drive there are a lot of hills and inclines.

Same here..and it's annoying as hell. I'm gonna sell this exhaust as soon as I stop bein' lazy one of these weekends cause it's pissing me off and the passengers in the cabin that I have to yell to when I'm driving up hills..

reply back here if you find out about the silencers. I'm afraid it will make the tips looks ugly.
