i love the sound of the greddy. its so so pricey compaired to others. i fell into a deal on the apexi n1 and megan y pipe.

i have a friend here that has a toyota shop. so i gave him $20 and he threw it on the lift for me. so that made it easy.

I have the HKS Dragger II...love love love the sound..very deep..sorta reminds me of a g35 sound at WOT...VERY easy to intall..took me about an hour with just two jack stands...bolt on, NO welding...I also have the SRT intake with ECU which amplifies the sound alot, not to mention I have toyomoto headers in the garage..goodluck!

2hrs tops, on your back with jack stands, and a block behind both front tires

It all depends on what sound your looking for. Dont expect HP out of just an Exhaust alone. I am not a fan of the canister style exhaust. I have a TRD Ltuned exhaust and its quiet at easy drving. But roars when at WOT, not to mention that I have an SRT intake as well.

Im about to get Toyomoto headers/stock Ypipe and install my Greddy EMU and exhaust cam gear. Saving for intake and exhaust cams and an 80mm TB for the maximum HP on an N/A IS300, without port and polish
The reason why I am going with a stock Ypipe, so that it gives you more low end TQ when starting off the line. More for DD than anything else. And it wont hurt your gas mileage. Just my .02 cents

Good luck and happy modding

Oh, almost forgot to mention to change the donut gasket when you replace your exhaust. Even though it might not need it, its always a good rule to change parts, so you know that its been done

I say the GReddy Evo II.... Sounds awesome, not loud at all even when I had my headers and y-pipe. It has a nice deep sound

Very quick install as well. Dont worry about that. Common sense can guide you threw that one. Just make sure you look up youtube videos to help you decide as well.
