Subjective. I can hear some drone on the freeway when I'm cruising if I don't have the music on. But it's definitely MUCH quieter than driving a soft-top Z4 on the freeway with a Magnaflow muffler.

You are gonna hear more intake then exhaust at those rpms, but you will be bro. Best bang for your buck in the exhaust world IMO

I should be getting them in this week or so, but I won't have them installed until the following week or the week after.
My gf's dad owns a shop here in SoCal and he said he could do it for me for 80$.
I'll be looking forward to it. I might be thinking about getting a midpipe, depending on how the car sounds! I dont think ill quite like the sound when the car pushes around 3.5-5k rpm. Judging from the videos, it sounds like its pushing air.
Any comments on this?
Your right you are hearing the intake but the exhaust still is good. Not to much . It's still a luxury car last thing you want is a overly loud luxury car that is really slow but sounds fast lol.

I actually want my car to be silent but with the deeper tone
I dont like the concept of seeing a lexus and hearing a loud exhaust!
I was just wondering if it'll make that sound where it sounds like its pushing air, not really a drone, but if you can catch my drift, i hate it haha

Well there really isn't any drone and it's deeper at idle and driving under normal conditions. I think it fits the look of the car. Even at hwy speeds no real drone. Overall I give the exhaust a 8.5 out of 10 IMO
It's the same as a tanabe exhaust truthfully but just a tad bit deeper which is a good thing. I personally think you will be happy with the exhaust. Only exhaust I would take over this is a fsport but no way in hell I would by 1100-1200 bucks for it. I paid 1500 for a exhaust for my 2006 gallardo no way I would come close to that number for a exhaust for a is250 or 350. Only a isf is worthy of a exhaust over a grand but again that's just my opinion

You guys are all only feeding me excitement
Boy do I wish I could install this right here right now =[
dang, you had a gallardo? But you moved onto a Lexus? How did that happen 0___0"
I'm sure I'd love this exhaust for the price tag as well
I'll keep y'all updated! I'll post a vid of it pushing 5k rpm as soon as i get it running

OK, I bought the M2 off eBay. Got it in a matter of 3 days. Installed it today in a matter of about 35 minutes and am pleasantly surprised with how nice it sounds. Quite quiet for an aftermarket exhaust. Nice and deep, does not take away from the car at all. Fitment is off a little, but I will tweak it a little here and there on the hangars and it should be fine. Thinking of painting the piping/cans flat black as well to be more low key. Anyway, GREAT value on this setup.
