Vibrant Exhaust Setups?
Lucky me, I have a hook up on Vibrant Performance parts but I don't want to spend the money to try various set ups with their resonators and mufflers. So my question to all you is: who's running their stuff? Vibrant resonator to muffler delete, no resonator to two Vibrant resonators in place of the mufflers, no resonator to two Vibrant mufflers. Combinations I'm interested in but have yet to hear. So here's hoping someone has something that is not on YouTube, because I did my research and the only guy running it has a 350 with F Sport exhaust.
Side note: there's a lot of people in the IS scene that spend money on all these cat back exhausts and get no real sound difference. Why bother? Your car is a tad bit bass-ier, but was it worth $700?

Ide like to see a catback for 700.00. They’re around a grand or more for the 2is. Maybe you’re referring to an axle back? But yes , you will not see huge horsepower gains with an exhaust. And not everyone likes an obnoxiously loud car. Everyone’s taste is different.

Axle back is what I meant. Sorry! And I personally don't care for power gains. 200hp isn't something I'd like to build on with performance mods and whatever. If I'm sitting in a car for two hours a day, going and coming from work, I kinda want the car to sound nice lol

My setup - Vibrant Ultra Quiet resonator and Tanabe Medallion Touring axleback - not one you listed but I hope can be of some help.

Well first I tried a resonator delete which was quite annoying on the highway and around town but nice WOT, got tired of that fast, ordered the ultra quiet, ends up it's still louder than stock but no more drone. When I was doing research for vibrant resonators I could barely find anything myself, so I just watched youtube reviews and just gave it a shot. Best of luck in your search.
