Put the M2 on the IS250 Saturday morning and overall fitment is really good on this one. I dont have to modify any brackets or anything.
Will get some pics up later as had to roll out and go build another Supra with my partner.

How hard is it to install? I am waiting mine to arrive. Going to face the installation soon since I want to do the installation by myself.

Super easy since it's just a bolt on

Just play with some nuts and bolts, and stick the hanger in the rubber, that's about it haha

its real easy
i just used PB Blaster on the bolts from the Y Pipe before i got started just to help them out
break those loose first then proceed to undo the rubber hangers from the muffler assemblies on the rear...helpful with an extra hand hear to support them
then move to the rubber hangers on the Y pipe

i then put the larger section of the two exhaust on first
rubber hanger going at the Y pipe first then the rear muffler assmbly
then move on to the smaller muffler assembly muffler then bolt the section of the Y pipe
i didnt use the supplied gasket for the front section of the Y pipe as the factory gasket provided a better seal

get to drive it finally today see how it all sounds
just wanted abit of tone change but nothing too obtrusive since its the wifes car

Got to drive today finally and it there is a drone from 2-3000 RPMs with this system. Not so much if you are lighter on the gas than normal. Above 3000RPMs it gets somewhat quiet again.
Wife probably wont like it but will take her for a ride to see.
If she says no then off it goes....LOL and for sale it is.

Just installed my M2s today and pretty happy with them.
I was one of the unlucky ones where the driver's side hangs low and the to right :/
Gonna replace my hangers when I have some time this week.

Install is really easy, 4 bolts, 6 hangers. Really no need for instructions: it makes sense once you look at the new exhaust and look under your car.

I think someone mentioned it before, but it's awesome how my intake sound kicks in as the exhaust quiets down when I'm pushing it.

Hows the quality of this exhaust overtime through the various seasons? Specifically I'm worried about it rusting after the northeast winters with all the snow and salt on the ground.

Hello all! I finally took a stab at this exhaust i like the sound at idle and free rev. But, under any load it is so monotone its driving me crazy. I understand there should be drone but this is crazy its shaking the whole cabin and giving me a headake. But, above 4k i cant hear the exhaust at all. Like all drone is gone. At first i thought maybe a leak but i cant hear anything above 4k

Anyone have this problem?
Is there a fix?

Thanks

That is how the exhaust sounds.
From about 1700-3500 you can hear it then it goes pretty quiet under load.
I havent checked if you could add a resonator anywhere to help with that drone.
We have ours listed for sale and will probably try the Invidia mid pipes with the stock axle back to see how that sounds next.
