So Im considering getting this for my IS250 to compliment the F-Sport intake as many may know the intake does not really start talking until about 3k, right around where this exhaust reportedly starts to get quiet...so nice balance there. I would do the F-Sport exhaust however I cannot bring myself to dropping $1200 on an axle back exhaust...hell I didnt pay that for a full Nismo cat back exhaust for my 350Z. So with that said...two questions.

1. How is the drone at freeway speeds?
2. Does installing a non "oem" product void warranty in any way?

I found the seller, but I think he just raised the price

Still would like to listen to a video of this setup on free way / normal driving / drone

Is this the M2? It's the same seller mentioned earlier in the thread but it doesn't say the brand on his auctions anymore. Looks like the same pic everyone else uses though.

You think that's the M2 he's selling there? I messaged him but no response. It's nowhere in his description or anything but he's still using that same stock photo. I was just going to switch exhaust tips, but for $250 I thought why not? I just don't want a really loud exhaust. The feedback of the M2 being relatively quiet appeals to me. If this is the same one, I'm going to grab it.

It's the same one. That's where I got mine from. Enjoy!

I just ordered mine today Its roughly around 300 shipped now
I was wondering, did you guys do the installs yourself? Or did you pay a shop to do it? If you guys went the second route, may i know the estimate of how much you guys paid to get it installed?

Mine was $75 installed. I would recommend you take it to a shop, as the fitment is a little off. It took a bit of work to bend the hangers (that I could have never done myself), so it's worth it.

Tax only cause you are in the same state as the seller
And these exhaust are going up and up in price . I got mine for 180 shipped to the door . I guess he is taking advantage of the trend

I am quite excited for these!
I got it for 275 shipped to my door. More expensive than what you fellas paid but much more cheaper than what I had planned for.
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?
