Smile Lexus IS exhaust systems?

Of all the exhaust systems availible for the is which is the best sounding in your opinion? I want to purchase one some time soon. I want a muscle or aggressive sound. I have no idea what to chose though.

I had tanabe and Lexus HKS is my current exhaust. tanabe was louder than Lexus hks but sounds more aggressive but kind of annoying sometime because of drone. I love lexus hks sound and very quiet. kind of sounds like g35 or z.

^ Coouldn't have said it any better. I came from a Tanabe as well and that thing droned really bad on hill climbs or heavier acceleration in high gear. the LEXUS HKS produces a great sound. you've just got to hear it in person, videos don't do it justice.

Our car should come with this exhaust from factory. It doesn't sound like any other except G35.

interesting, i always wanted to get the tanabe's, but after all these drone complaints, i might get the lexus hks instead. as long as it's not that loud.
