I was about to suggest the F-sport exhaust that I have. Since you want under 1k, go with HKS Hi-Power. used or brand new it is under 1k.

I see Borla offers a cat-back system. I have never seen or heard it on the IS. It's sells for under $1000. As I said I've not heard it on our IS' but I've had it other vehicles and it was simply wonderful.

Try and find a used F-Sport they usually sell for $1,000 or less. It all depends on the condition.

What do you mean by sounding powerful? You mean loud?

HKS is the loudest you can get but has drone.

Then is the Greddy Evo3 followed by the Fsport.

If you want loud, get the HKS or Evo3, the Fsport is not worth the money.

I absolutely love my Tanabe axle back paired with the Invidia mid pipes.

Ive had the borla catback system in the past and it is very loud. I think you are better off with the tanabe. Im running it now and have never looked back
