Default Greddy or F Sport Exhaust?

Need an option from fellow IS owners


Which brand you think would have the better buck for horsepower? Greddy or Lexus F Sport Exhaust?

The gains will be very minimal from both since they are axle back. If you want HP gain you will need to do a lot more then just an exhaust, but anyways I have never heard the Greddy but my friend has the F-Sport and it sounds amazing.

WHS+1. I have the original LEXUS HKS; which is similar to the Fsport but with 2 functional mufflers and slightly quieter. One of the best exhaust for our cars.

For the price I personally like the Greddy Spectrum Elite much better. My friend has the F Sport on his 350 and I like the way mine sounds over his. And I have always liked the burnt tip look myself but others aren't fans.

Here are a couple videos. Keep in mind I have the Invidia midpipe which does change the sound when compared just to the axle back.

Greddy. I had the spectrum on my 2IS and loved every note of it. Not too loud and not too quiet.

I like the rounded look of the Fsport mufflers better.

Like others have mentioned, axle back will not give you much HP gain.

However, I will choose F Sport over Greddy because of:
1. F Sport sounds damn nice
2. F Sport looks damn nice
3. F Sport exhaust compliments with the F Sport intake sound well (if you have that), they are like twins.
4. F Sport exhaust holds good re-sale value. Looks how fast F Sport get sold in classified and F Sport also adds trade in value (but you are still advised to sell it somewhere else before trade in lol).
5. F Sport is official from Lexus

Do either of these have any drone/bee's in a can effect? I'm trying to plan out my future upgrade and want it to sound stock unless i'm going WOT.
