Default trying to make my is more "ballsy"

i like how the infinitis sound when you only lightly gas it. i almost floored my is and didnt even get a loud "room" sound.. what do i need to do to kinda get more of that sound?

Had a Tanabe Super Medallion Racing exhaust on my IS300 -It sounded awesome.

Intake and exhaust make noise but no matter what you do it won't be any were close to the infinity sound. It's been discuss before if you like that sound then you have to get that car. Having an exhaust is not a ricer burner.

Yeah I know it's the engine. I ment to get aftermarket intake & exhaust on the IS to make sound. But still won't come close.

It's not going to fit regular ISX50's. Best bet is to get an intake and exhaust. If you don't want an exhaust, delete the mufflers to get a deep sound or delete the resonators on the y-pipe or midpipe but it'll make it raspier.

Intake should do it for you.

not in a million years. Even if you buy $1,000 intake, it will never sound like a G35 (specifically). Unless you put VQ35DE engine in your IS

I personally like the sound of the f sport exhaust over the g35 stock exhaust....
either way, intake + exhaust sounds like what you're looking for

I was referring to a more aggressive sound without an exhaust.

OP - I'm not sure which intake is the loudest but look up "Drilled Intake" on here. I heard it in person and it sounds pretty nice for a free mod.
