IS300Newbie Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 Hey everyone, Im new to the site. New to IS300's actually, I just purchased a 2003 IS300 and am looking to do some mods to it. I have read alot of the posts on this site and there is alot of good information I have found. The thing is, is that I have read the posts on the forum about exhausts and most everything I have read is that HKS is one of the better exhausts to go with. I was looking into getting the HKS Drager II (HKS Drager II) and was wondering if anyone currently has this exhaust, is it loud (the wife doesnt want me to have a loud car, go figure)? I have tried some of the video links previously posted and alot no longer work. I would appreciate your input while I make this decision. Thanks in advance.
_DAG_ Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 Hey did you see this http://www.lexusgonewild.com/norCal_v2/I6exhaustComp.htm? BTW i have a pro-1 axleback and pro-1 header, but am still running the stock racepipe/y pipe, with the cat. The racepipe makes a lot of difference, so if you leave that on there it shouldn't make it too loud as opposed to if you were running a straight racepipe with no cat.
IS300Newbie Posted April 6, 2004 Author Posted April 6, 2004 Thanks for the link. That gave me some good ideas of what is out there and the volume of the exhausts. Maybe I will grab the wife in here and let her listen... I can see her now, walking straight out the room. :D Oh well, not everyone can be a car lover I guess. Thanks again.
IS300Newbie Posted May 6, 2004 Author Posted May 6, 2004 Ok so I went with an A'PEXi exhaust. It should be here within the next few days. Will have it installed by next week. I will let you all know how things turn out.
_DAG_ Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Hey that apexi looks sweet, but it's pricey. I guess you get what you pay for, it should sound awesome btw and give great gains. You should dyno the car beforehand, install the exhaust, and dyno afterwards. Everyone would be thrilled to see the results, at least i would. Good luck!
IS300Newbie Posted May 10, 2004 Author Posted May 10, 2004 Yup. Im getting ancy here. Rushed home to check, still nothing. I do believe there is a place a little ways away that I can get a dyno done on it. Good tip, thank you.
IS300Newbie Posted May 13, 2004 Author Posted May 13, 2004 Nice! I got it today. Talk about drooling... I want to work on it right now but dont have the time. Just figured I would update.
