Muffler Delete?
What's going on Club Lexus members!
Quick question I've been looking at YouTube videos of Lexus IS250 with a "Muffler Delete" it sounds really nice. Has anyone done this to their car? Was it a good idea? Also will this void my warranty if I delete my muffler?

Yeaaaaah. ... dont delete your muffler.
I know its tempting to have a louder exhaust for the low price of a muffler delete (I contemplated this as well) but just hold on till you have enough money for a proper exhaust setup. If you dont wanna spend the $550-1000 on a brand name setup you can always do what I did and get an Ebay exhaust. Same sound for less money. And if you dont have that kind of money right now then just delete yoyr resonator. Should be about $40 to do and takes like 20 minutes
Piece of advice though... it may sound like there is zero difference made at first but it becomes more apparent with time.
And dont let anybody fool you with that "oh it less quality though" Not true. Maybe an M2 exhaust has less quality than a Tanabe but my Tsudo version 2 has held up great since i bought it 4-5 months ago. And it gives it the perfect deep sound at low revs without being ridiculous loud and ricer at higer revs. It was exactly what i was looking for. Anyway , good luck OP

As for the HKS , since you like the look of it have you checked out the Tsudo? Its what i have and if your a fan of big tips like the HKS the Tsudo has the same size (4.5in) Definitely has a nice deeper lower tone to it now compared to stock and with the resonator deleted and f sport airbox I love mine
It really is a great looking exhaust and people compliment it a lot of the time. Oh and its like half the price of a "name" brand lol. Good luck, and post whatever set up you eventually decide to go for
