Default Greddy SE on IS250 AWD

whoo hoo! i have the Greddy SE installed on my IS250 awd!
i think the first AWD to have it? i dunno.. but thanks a lot to Tommy from Musicbox and Jay from Statik for waking up 8:30am in the morning to deliver my part and install it for me. haha.. you guys rock!

First Impressions
-The tips were big!
i'm thinking dang this might be too loud and cabin drone!

After-installing & Driving
-Nope! the tip fits the car perfectly.
-It's not loud at all. Maybe a bit louder than the Tanabe and thats it... some of the guys that were hanging around the shop heard it and actually said "is this quieter than a tanabe?" No, it actually is louder, but not as loud as the F-Sport.
-Cabin drone? A little, but not a whole lot. This was my main concern prior to purchasing the Greddy SE. If you keep it 75mph and under cruising on the freeway you can barely hear the drone to no droning at all.
-When throttled it roars nicely; nothing too loud.

Here's a couple of pictures i took with my cell phone during / after the installation










Other pics stolen from jay@statik :P

Yay! Another one to get this exhaust. I also love it on my car....it sounds just right (not too loud - just loud enough). Congrats! It looks good on your car.
