That comment is not necessary. I don't own a Tanabe but the majority of the people who owns ISx50 has it. I am guessing the majority of the people on the board have a puss y car.

I don't think the tanabe is a "pussie exhaust" as you put it so indelicately. It is a mature-minded exhaust with a tasteful design that goes well with the IS style. I personally think the giant exhaust tips like the ones on the Hi-Power are too vulgar for a classy car like the IS but again, this is my opinion as well.

Hahaha.... Ture that... you'll want to get the tanabe's and then add the midpipes so it wont be as loud...

I agree... its a matter of opinion... if you like the smaller looking and IMO less loud than the HKS then thats up to u... I personally loved the beasty cannon from the moment i saw them

great ways to offend a quality product.

i'm not sure where you're getting your statistics, but don't make assumptions just because you see a few individuals looking to part ways w/ their tanabe set-ups.

negative? no.

let me ask you, do YOU run hks hi-powers w/ the megan midpipe and see how long before you get a ticket?

yah, i didn't think so either.

well we all see that it is your opinion, but we do have rules and ways to express our opinions in our forum I'm pretty sure there are tons of other ways to express your opinions and still not offend others, that way nobody will take anything personally

how does exactly Tanabe or F-Sport looks stock? have you seen Tanabe or F-Sport in person? I've gone from Stock to Tanabe to my Quad, and my friends own F-Sports and Lexus HKS, and I seriously hear the difference in sound~! Not eveyone gets their exhaust to get more attention, and I seriously doubt that people get their exhaust so that people behind you get tempted to race you but thanks for sharing your reasons behind

you wanna talk about GREAT sound, very AGGRESSIVE looking exhaust?
let me know when you decide to go JDM Quad, instead of those Rocket Launchers

actually, it's true.

put on some classy-looking set-up, and people won't hit you up for races.

it's all about appearances.
