main stuff I’m worried about is drone with no mufflers in the eBay vs. lack of sound in Tanabe
also unable to find decent diffuser options for the 2023, seems like there’s a lot more options for previous gen, wondering if the diffuser fits the same
besides that, have my steering wheel ordered from elvin and tint/ceramic/caliper painting scheduled for now!
if anyone is local to 90630 (SoCal OC area) and have any of the exhaust options mentioned, I’d love to drive over and hear it☺️
Muffler delete is going to drone, be loud and raspy, it will sound like a piece of crap car. I run the Tanabe with other exhaust changes. It's nice. There is also a eBay clone of the Tanabe my friend has it's sound is in-between the Tanabe and the Megan system. I think it's the REV9 sold on eBay also, at half the cost. Lots of the IS350 guys have run it and are very happy with it.
Also if you want to get a little more response out of it with the exhaust, run a Intake like the AEM intake pipe with drop in and stock airbox, or the full cone AEM. Nice RC350!
