i actually have that exhaust. it sounds great while cruising. nice growl. at WOT, its amazing. from inside...you feel it. great sound. you'll like it if you get this exhaust
i read somewhere that its suppose to have a 8-10hp gain?? not really sure tho. i have an injen intake also. when i drive i feel like i have about a 10hp gain. i have 250, so 204hp. with exhaust and intake, about 214hp. its not much but you can feel it fo sho.
i actually just made a video of it this afternoon. sounds great.

i have the tanabe... great exhaust

No axle-back for the IS will give you more than about 5-7 whp... and that's on an IS350, I imagine a 250s gains would be that or less. It's a very pretty and well made exhaust system though, so if you're looking for that and a slightly louder exhaust, go for it.

Do they charge tax?

 

[nahh_meen]

i don't think so.
well, i'm all the way in texas,
it might be different in CA

send them an e-mail.
they're pretty quick in getting back to you
or give them a call

 

[N1gHt3R1d3r]

I talked to them via AIM and they said that they only charge tax for California.

thanks guys.... as soon as i get another couple bucks saved up ill be buying it.

Its all sound, no REAL power gain and if you own a 250... trade it in for a 350. lol

bit too loud i recon
is there any exhaust that is quiet as stock??
like a fujitsubo or kakimoto???

 

[Knightshade]

The tanabe is generally considered the quietest exhaust available, often by a wide margin.

Give any axle-back will only give you maybe 5-7 hp tops I'm not sure if you'd want to bother spending $600+ for a system that sounds identical to stock. Most folks buying exhaust for the 2IS are doing it for the noise, not for any significant power gains.

 

[[[d a n n y]]]

actaully it's pretty quiet..
might get myself 1 of those

i've heard a tanabe d/t toronto before..it sounds nice..but it's a little quiet for my tastes...i have the HKS hi-power and it's a lot louder...the drone inside the car is a bit much...gf is complaining...but i have the silenced inserts for them...so it should be good! the loss from silencers is negligible as well (like 2-4 hp)!

only downside of the HKS is that the pipes are HUGE (115mm)...i didnt like them too much at first...but it's ok now...i got used to them

Exhaust

Which ehaust system would give an is250 the most hp gain?

 

[Knightshade]

Which ehaust system would give an is250 the most hp gain?

probably the Joe Z or the Borla... about $1500 for about 10 hp.

HKS Hi Power

Can anyone tell what king of horsepower gains they got with this exhaust? Also how does it sound inside the car while you are driving?

I have a HKS HI POWER exhaust setup in mine.. It sounds sick:

I'm actually willing to sell it to anyone interested.. [email protected] with your offer, located in florida, paid 750+shipping for it.

 

[kkrazykarl]

My friend just got this exhaust for his is250 and it sounds great!
got it at hipowermotorsports.com for $663 shipped, really good deal
does anyone know if it sounds the same on the is350?
