Yeah get a used exhaust for a bit more, or save up longer and get a new one.

dumb question --- anyone have this for an IS250 AWD? They say RWD 250 on ebay for the M2, D5 and other low cost exhausts!!!!!

Anyone confirmed that it fits? Why would it not fit--could that be what causes fitment issues? Also are the D5 same as the M2?

Thanks

It fits just fine . There are a couple of awd guys in the thread that got the exhaust. Not sure if d5 is the same as a M2 but wouldn't doubt it that they are similar if not the same

an intake will also change the sound from what I have heard.



I wonder if fitment issues are caused by the RWD vs AWD. Can any of the AWD people chime in---any D5s or M2s? The D5 is still cheap on ebay but the M2 with shippping is now 300.


If anyone has seen it cheaper PM me the link--i know we cannot post the links, but private messages should be fine.

it is due to the hanger not being straight, usually require some bending.

i have it on my 250, its relatively loud and quite deep. My only issue is now i tihnk something has come loose or broken, since at 4k+ rpm it sounds like someone put a marble in each can =/

I've had the M2 installed for roughly 2 months now and am completely happy with it. It sounds great, the fitment isn't perfect but unless you're showing the car nobody will ever notice. I bent one of the hangars at it lined up almost perfect. It's hard to gauge in this picture as the angle is off a tad and the sun is shining from one side. All in all, I give it a thumbs up.
