2012IS250

Yeah, I want loud and low tone haha. This was my previous setup: http://youtu.be/bGfn0HsMv0M?t=8m35s. I was running an invidia midpipe and a megan racing axle back exhaust system with both mufflers deleted :D. On my 2015 right now, I have an invidia midpipe and a custom made magnaflow axle back exhaust system but it's still, for some reason, not as loud as my 2012 and I don't believe that it'll be as loud as my 2012 even if I deleted both my mufflers on the 2015. I've never had to use ear plugs for my 2012 XD

My loud is unbelievably loud then haha my IS 250 is pretty much silent to me when floored 😂. Oh ok never mind then, I don't have the F Sport exhaust. I currently have magnaflow mufflers with 2.5" piping as the axle back portion and am currently running midpipes but I want the exhaust to be louder, and that's why I posted this question haha. I believe that there is a difference in test pipes and midpipes, I'm just not sure and don't know what they are.

Yes, both are aftermarket parts haha. . Yeah I originally got a midpipe because it increases airflow on my IS and since I have a custom axle back exhaust system, it makes my IS loud. I have the IS250 F Sport and I thought that the car came with a F Sport exhaust but I guess after 2013, Lexus stopped equipping the F Sport exhaust from the factory and put the stock exhaust back on for the F Sport models. When I revved my IS the first night I took delivery, I barely heard the exhaust with the windows up so I know it's a 100% stock exhaust (not even F Sport). My IS is a 2015 model. So they just renamed test pipes to midpipes and included some piping to go with the test pipes? Haha

What's the difference between test pipes and midpipe? In terms of performance? Volume? Pricing? I've only messed with midpipes before, never quite looked into test pipes until I saw a friend with test pipes on his G37 and it sounded way louder than my previous daily, a 2012 with midpipes and dual muffler deletes (axle back section was 2.5" pipes). I'm currently running midpipes on my 2015 but may decide to go with test pipes if it's louder and has been proven to be better in terms of performance.

Hi there guys I was just wondering, since this forum provides a link to IS parts on eBay, I was wondering if anyone actually purchased this item from eBay themselves for their own IS 300. I don't normally buy stuff online (I've been scammed before) but I found this item, I need a LSD for my IS 250, and it's within my budget but I was wondering if 1) this differential is a LSD and not an OEM open diff and 2) if it's actually in decent condition. If anyone could help out, that would be great. Thanks!
