Very nice, great color choice. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a bit louder exhaust. Even in my IS250 I’d like to hear the motor a bit more (if, that is, it actually had a nice sound). -TJ ---

Im definatly happy though i added a few goddies today. Corsa Axle back exhaust. Stock pipes are 2.5 true duals. I might remove the resonator add a H pipe connector and 2 smaller resonators… Its not loud like a camaro but not super quiet its actually a perfect match for the car.

That one is fully loaded with lower miles and the only thing it doesnt have is the factory Navi…and it is $21K. For me I have an aftermarket one that was like $350…and I will only use it a few times per year. To me it is worth haveing that over having something that I think most people get just b/c it looks cool and makes them feel like a high roller. But to each his own I guess.
