Default exhaust note option...low cost

What's up guys. I'm currently in a is350 f sport lease . I am disappointed by how quiet the exhaust is especially coming from a g37. I would like a nice exhaust growl but don't want to invest a large amount since this is a lease. I've been reading the forums but want to make a move asap. So what is a low cost fix? Resonator delete? Muffler delete? Please help! I appreciate your advice. Thanks

The muffler delete someone did on here sounded really good. Dont know if it is legal in all states but mehhh. Look in the classifieds as well, people selling exhausts in there pretty cheap. There are plenty options to choose from. Hope you enjoy you new car!

Muffler delete sounds like a mix between G37 and a 335i (my previous car). On the higher pitched side when compared to axlebacks like JoeZ, Invidia, etc...
Since it's a lease and you probably don't want to cut your mufflers, just tell the muffler shop to make a separate straight piped axleback exhaust. That's what I did and it cost me around $240 total for 2.25" piping, tips, and labor.
DM me if you want more details

I'm looking at a cheap but reliable option for an exhaust mod also. I had a friend do a muffler delete on his 250 and said it was the worst thing to do. Car became a lot slower after (I think he said something about back pressure I don't remember exactly) Could you PM me the details also or if you have any other ideas for me. Thanks!
