Looking to do x-pipe and deep growl exhaust on my 250awd, since this is my first non-american car I can't use the typical brands I've used in the past. Can anyone direct me to good quality stainless steel brands with a 2-2.25" piping be it full catback or x-pipe w/ axlebacks?

Nobody offers anything for the AWD models beyond just axle-backs... so if you want an x-pipe or anything like that it'll be a custom job done by a local shop.

That's a good heads up, cause it isn't a for sure thing about doing any performance mod, I might as well do a few exterior mods and do the performance stuff when I get a second car as my mod car, like a IS F, or if they ever release a GS F. Or something that would be a fun mod car, even a '11 mustang gt

A twin loop muffler header back would be sweet!

that... and if you wanted to spend $ on performance, you got the wrong car... you can spend 2x the cost difference of 250->350 and still end up with half the gain you'd have had just buying the faster car to start with.

If you want to do exhaust work for the sound, by all means, but don't expect any real noticeable performance gains, especially on an AWD model.

Indeed, just looking at my options, my is250 awd is my dd as well as my long term car, I plan on also having a track car or cheap early 90s offroading suv
