My HKS (ist release) does not have round mufflers, it has the oval ones and the Invidia mid pipe sounds great with it, not loud at all,...even the wife approves

What we have is the "Lexus HKS" ... (pre f-sport). They are talking about the HKS Hi-Power. 2 different exhausts.

Ok... Understand that every exhaust setup will be different. Like I said - the HKS he is talking about is the "Lexus HKS" - also known as the "Lexus dual sport exhaust by HKS". It was an OEM exhaust sold by Lexus before the f-sport stuff came out. It's a quiet exhaust. It's also no longer available...

I suggest you guys go out to meets and listen to each setup... Go ask others to take you for a ride, etc.

Invidia + f-sport drones, and the HKS hi power is louder than the f-sport. Sooo... I think you can figure that one out Also - if you don't want drone - your best bet is no mid pipes or Megan mid pipes.

Ah, ok my bad. I didn't notice by HKS the other member actually meant the "Lexus HKS" - I thought he meant HKS Hi-Power

I have the HKS hipower exhaust with resonator delete setup for my 07 is250, its annoying on long drives(over 2hrs) but its sound so nice when your over 3.5k rpm.

I have the HKS with resonator delete also, and IMO the drone isn't that bad. I've driven in it for 4 hours and I was fine. Maybe that's just because I like it loud. Unfortunately I'm in the mood to switch up my exhaust. I love the sound and everything, but getting a bit tired of how it looks on my car. I was thinking Greddy, but heard it's not as loud. If I paired it up with Invidia midpipes would it sound anything like HKS? I've already Youtubed it and every video sounds the same to me and doesn't do any justice.
