I had the F-sport intake/exhaust combo for the longest time. It sounds very nice, but I wouldn't call it loud... I have since put a Megan midpipe in, and it's significantly louder.

Also its the one with no f sport stamp. He says its the newer one. I thought the newer ones had stamps?

The Megan midpipe retains the secondary cats, unlike the Invidia which deletes them, which is why it's quieter.

You hear the F-Sport exhaust at lower RPMs and the F-Sport intake at higher RPMs. Combined, they don't really amplify total sound overall, but rather complement each other (no synergies in other words). So, if you hear an F-Sport exhaust only, it'll sound almost the same as the F-Sport twins combined at lower RPMs. Hope that makes sense.

Some early F-Sport exhausts did indeed not have the engraving. You can check the part number to verify it is an F-Sport, and not an HKS Lexus exhaust. The F-Sport is considerably louder.

Would of been nice if you had something like what Ap0kC had.

I put it at this time frame where he guns it up to 120 km/h on the freeway from the on ramp with his Invidia Midpipe - like seeing the gear it's in.

No, it's not lol. Other than WOT, this setup is most loud upon cold startup. I keep my car inside a parking garage structure and when I fire her up I always scare the people nearby.
