It looks like a m2 to me and I seen the box from this seller and it's a m2 box. Same one mine came in. If it was me I would buy it. But if you want to be sure and it makes you feel better buy the one with the listing m2 on it. It's only a 45 buck difference . But I am pretty sure they are the same. I seen 4 inch muffler tips and those don't look that big. And you surely not getting no 20 horses of a exhaust lol

Well you gotta figure in taxes and your friend needs to make money to make this worth while most items have about a 50-100 percent markup in them. You friend needs to at least double his money. Also needs to be a vendor on here to sale. I was going to become a vendor and sale them for about 219-229 ish shipped to the door. But the most money to be made is on eBay. IMO not worth my time in any business if you can't double your money nobody is really gonna buy 35-50 exhaust and just make nothing if so your friend would be robin hood of the Lexus community lol

Go look on their website it's there bro
Better yet Here you go. https://www.m2performance.net/others/contact.asp But tread softly grasshopper lol don't want the vendors and moderators after you for setting up a group buy that kills the market value of M2 exhaust. Once word gets out alot of people paid a 100 bucks or so that is gonna destroy the market and kill the competitive pricing clause with m2. I paid 180 shipped to my door before they raised the price to what it is now. M2 will want to know why they aren't getting orders from other vendors. Or the other guys will rat you out lol. Trust me I know it happened to me with my Oakley account. But in the end I understand why. ;-) but good luck bro

That's why I said it's probably deception to make a few bucks extra then the next vendor. I know of a guy on here personally that ordered from a vendor with stats like that and his exhaust was identical to mine from the box down to the instructions and wrong hardware lol. Box even says m2. But truth be told m2 is it's own brand but they pretty much just copy other people exhaust and parts and get them made in china. Just like every other business in the world. Companies tanabe and hks etc. Spend money on advertising and testing and making the exhaust a bit better. Hence more cost. I have never in my life seen a m2 ad or commercial ;-) . I still like the exhaust though. I own a few companies and get stuff made in china.That's why I am always up late cause it's daytime at my factory in china but Long as you got the money you can get the product made bro. Even though it's frowned upon it's really not wrong. You got your crowd that's gonna buy cheaper stuff and you got the crowd that only buys branded stuff. So it all balances out. I will spend money on stuff if it's gonna make a difference in power and sound. Just for noise I'll stick with the m2 for a isx50 . Not paying a grand for a little bit of sound. But again good luck bro. It's gonna be alot of work.

Basically they're all the same (unless you buy a branded exhaust like Greddy, Tanabe, HKS, etc.) All the Tsubo's, M2's are all knock-offs that have less quality welds (but who's going to look underneath your car anyway) that give you more sound. Additionally, if you don't like the tips, have your local muffler technician swap it out with Titanium ones.

Well said but I would just say look alike more so then knockoff. If it had a tanabe stamp on it then that's knock off to me. :-)
But you guys waiting for a group buy to save 50-75 bucks are crazy lol just buy the damn exhaust and enjoy it today. 300 bucks is a small price to pay about 40 bucks of that price is shipping .

M2 Replica Exhaust
I just ordered one of the replica exhaust from Ebay. I just found the sellers who were taking the best offer and offered $200 shipped to me and said if you won't take $200 shipped whats the best price you would do? I ended up getting one for $220 shipped to me. Just installed it yesterday. Sounds good at idle but at 3000 RPMs it gets a little loud in the cabin. Going to try and get that fixed.
