Default 07 is350 exhaust?

I bought an 07 is350 when i was back in the states and was just wondering the best "deep" sounding exhaust out there. Im over in afghanistan right now so its gonna be a little while till i purchase the exhaust but id like to order it towards the end of my deployment so its there waiting for me. Im really pushing towards the borla exhaust cause ive had some friends that have bought it for other cars they've had and it sounded great but just wanted to see if someone out there had experience with any other companies that fit the "deep" sounding exhaust category. Car exhaust are either a hit or miss. I dont want to rice the thing out. Thanks

The ones that come to mind are the F Sport exhaust which I have myself and love, very deep tone. Or the JoeZ exhaust which I haven't heard myself, but has gotten raving reviews.

Doing some searches on the forums & youtube should yield alot of results for you to review before making a decision.

Mind you the youtube videos will never do the sound of an exhaust justice, but its as close as you can get without having it on your car to hear it =P

If you want a really deep sounding exhaust, the HKS hi power is the way to go

rare and discontinued! If you interested in one PM me, we have a local member who just sold his IS350 with borla to another local friend for a G37. Long story short he wants the IS quiet so he wants to sell the Borla

I have heard a LOT about the Borla, and know that it is expensive. How much does he want for it, and is it a cat back or an axle back? Pretty sure the Borla only came as a cat back....

thanks for the comments but i ended up buying the f-sport exhaust. there is a couple sites that still have the borla for sale (i think for around the same price as the f-sport) but after reading some reviews from other people i bought the f-sport. the most common problem that people ran into with the borla is the installation. ill be home in a few months and give everyone an update on how it goes. also has anyone heard of someone putting the stock is350 exhaust on the is300? i still have my is300 and would like to throw the exhaust on there if its ever been done before. thanks
