Hello,

I'd like to upgrade my exhaust to something with a little more bass but not too obnoxious. Seems the way to go is with Magnaflow full system. I know the system cost $850 plus installation, but I got an odd quote from Rancho Muffler in Temecula who quoted by about $300 for just the Magnaflow muffler (no pipes) plus tips and he said it might add some deep sounds, but his quote seems half-assed and not too sure about what I really wanted.

Also saw Invidia exhauts on youtube for about $650 or so.

I like the sound of a corvette or camaro.

Any thoughts on upgrading the Lexus IS 250 exhaust? 2012

Thanks,

Mike

$300 to install a bolt-on exhaust? Wow!

Do you have a garage you park in or have a place where you could install the exhaust yourself? Spend the money you would spend on the install on tools, jack, stands that you will keep forever instead.

The F-sport exhaust is by far the favorite on here; however, you do pay for the quality setup.

Thanks for the feedback. But the $250-$300 would include the Magnaflow muffler plus installation, no pipes.

Yes, I do have a garage and even a descent jack with two jack mounts, but having the car end up on both ends at the same time with me under it concerns me of the car ever dropping. I wonder if I can do one side at a time, that way keeping the jack in place and a lift/mount in place as well? Just to install a better muffler, not the pipes.

One other quick question, I have a IS 250 2012 F Sport, do I have the F Sport exhaust then? If so, what would I swap out to get more of a deep muffler sound, the pipes, muffler, or both?

Thanks,

Mike

Probably need to get a mod to move this post to the performance section. Youre in the suspension section. Lol

if you want to sound like a vette or maro, I say go with the Flow Master or Borla!

So you're just wanting to hack off the existing mufflers for aftermarket?

Hello forum,

I am now leaning towards doing a resonator delete on my IS 250 F Sport but am a little concerned that the sound might be a little high pitched or obnoxious for a Lexus, so I was thinking off adding a Magnaflow muffler to help bring in a lower tone.

I've compared the Invidia Q300 Axel Back to my stock F Sport exhaust with resonator delete and they seem to be the same or have the same results, so in an effort to save $600-$800 (Q300 is $650 plus tax and install)(resonator delete is only $85 plus maybe a Magnaflow muffler with tips).

I was also thinking of just trying the resonator delete and if the noise was too high that I would maybe add a deeper sounding muffler. Also knowing that if both options were way too obnoxious that I can easily and pretty low costly, reverse the changes.

I am not looking at spending $1200 and replace the entire exhaust just to have a comparable sound to the resonator delete.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

MIke

^At that price, just get an F-sport exhaust!

What you're looking for seems in line with the norm around here. I would just go for the F-Sport Exhaust at this point. There are plenty of videos online and a list of options here to inform you on what is available.
