I just recently bought an m2 exhaust for my is250. At first I told myself I didn't want something loud but now I do.. Lol anyways since the tanabe and the m2 are pretty much the same have any of you guys have any of these with a midpipe or resonator delete? How's the sound?!? Preciate the info

 

Would like to know also. Looking at either an M2 or HKS. Obviously choosing between the two because of price.

 

I believe someone posted a video, I'll see If i can find it...

Totally opposite exhausts there brother lol.

M2 is quiet and cheap
HKS is loud and expensive (compared to the M2 price at least)

 

I know I know I just don't know if I want to drop 800$ on an axle back. I need to see an M2 w/ res delete in person so I can see if I would be satisfied with that. Ughhh why can't money grow on trees?

 

Here's some youtube videos:
HKS with resonator delete:

Couldn't find one with the M2 with resonator delete. Here's the M2 with stock mid pipe.

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks. Will watch it when I get home. Work computers can't view it. The thing I don't like about the HKS is the price and how big it is causing very little ground clearance. I want a loud exhaust though!!!!

 

I have an M2 with resonator delete on an IS350. Sounds really great in lower rpm and really aggressive, but when you get in the higher range, like from 4000-6000 it kind of sounds high pitched and is on the border line of rice (but not quite there).

 

HKS w/ resonator delete is loudest u can get, unless u straight pipe it

 

i ended up finding a video from a another CL member. idr his user name and im to lazy to find him -_- but anyways hes running an indivia with a tanabe which is basically an m2. so looks like i found my answer!

 

Yo Luis this is bishop from Houston that indivia mid pipe didnt sound so bad. Actually sounded pretty dang good. I heard a is250 today with a tanabe and custom mid pipe. Pretty much identical to the indivia setup but he said he paid 90 bucks installed on the car. So go check some shops out around Houston

 

I'd like to see the custom $90.00 midpipe setup!

 

I took a peak under his car. It sure wasn't pretty as the indivia but none the less looked professional . Just standard muffler shop piping. Nothing shiny.

 

If you want HKS but not the ~$800 price tag, watch the classified section. You'll find great deals there if you are patient, just saw an HKS for sale for $450 shipped

EDIT: Get the HKS, you'll love it! (I have one )

 

That is pretty convincing. If I could get it for $450, I can forget that it has those round canisters lol. I'll definitely keep my eyes open.

 

If you want loud get the HKS with an invidia midpipe.

HKS + Invidia is the loudest setup that doesnt involve any full staight piping or headers.
