Default Borla VS F Sport performance exhaust

Hello guys, this is my first post on the forum! I have a 2022 Lexus IS350 AWD and currently have a Ark Grip exhaust installed. After having the catback system for two weeks now, I decided to get an axleback instead and sell my ark exhaust system(too much drone on highway when step on the throttle just a little). I have watched a couple clips on those two axleback systems, and I’m curious what’s your opinion on those two systems.

I have the Borla axleback. It has 0 drone. Quiet when you o want it to be, and decent loud while stepping on it. This is my car in the video. Now I have it paired with an AEM intake, and it sounds really good. The f sport axleback seems to be more of a tone change, but nothing too exciting in my opinion.

@JCMno Sorry forgot to quote when replying to your comment. Seems like the forum does not allow me to delete my own post...

That sounds fantastic! I have watched this video a few times on YouTube as I was trying to compare these two exhausts. The F sport exhaust to me sounds good on the previous model years (14-20), however, I can barely find any video about that exhaust on YouTube for 21+ models (no drive-by shots, only a few videos on revving). I currently have an Ark cat-back. The exhaust sounds great, but the loud humming at lower rpm really makes my ear uncomfortable and the drone created by the humming sound is terrible at 2100-2500rpm, especially on highways. Now I want to switch back to an axle-back so it's quieter on highway as I do a lot of highway trips.

I'd recommend you to get the Borla. The f sport exhaust sounds very quiet to me.
