Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

My new (used) Lexus IS300, 5spd Auto, almost stock except for a CAI. Hopefully I'll slap an exhaust in soon, and then from there, who knows!!

Woot!! I'm back!

nice car. that is the color that i would want if i picked one up

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

Nice car, but please don't ruin it with a loud exhaust that will get you ~2whp.

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

congrats on the new car looks great!

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

How about a magnaflow exhaust, and if its too loud I put another resonator in it?

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

Sounds like you should stick to DSMs or maybe a sweet lumina Z34

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

2jzgte = WIN

Nice car though, I have always liked those.

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

Magnaflows are generally on the tamer side volume wise, I'm sure it will be fine. This thing is supposed to be a pseudo luxury car though, why are you wanting to mod it?

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

Luxury on the inside, speed on the outside??

I don't think a cat back exhaust and headers is going to kill the luxury of it too much, especially not if I keep it tame, hence the choice in magnaflow vs an N1 style exhaust.

Besides, look at Andrews car :D

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

What andrew has done to his car and his car in general isn't like yours.

He didn't want to put redneck pipes on his shit, magnaflow is one step above the fart cans.
Get out and research some quality sounding and performing exhaust, also if you want to compare to andrew maybe make some power. 500 whp in anything isn't easy.

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

Cousin has a black IS300 with I/H/E...sounds freaking beautiful. Those are nice. slow, but NICE.

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

Pretty sure andrew didnt have a say in the pipes that are on his caddy.... And also, Im sorry, but I'd rather not spend 2k on an exhaust when I can spend $600 and get one built by a company Ive had great luck with in the past.

And the comparison here between my car and his is that his is also a luxury car gone rouge, so why not mine?

Actually... what is your deal?? Are you that hard against Magnaflow?? Did they touch you in a bad place one day, or insult your mom?? I mean... wow.....


So far just with the intake it sounds pretty vicious, so I'm really hoping that this exhaust works out, if not, I'll mod it till it does.

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

I'm against having to hear shitty cars. Plus 2JZ is an amazing sounding engine so you should do it some justice and pick something up that is on par with that motor.

I'm not against you, if I can help I will.
Magnaflow is just trashy shit, not like corsa or other good brands.

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

If you can find me a Corsa exhaust for a Lexus IS300 then let me know, otherwise the options I've seen are HK$, Tannabe, Greedy, Apex'i, and some other ones that all use N1 style mufflers.

Magnaflow is the only one so far that includes an upstream resonator, so far that Ive seen, besides tannabe.

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

Beautiful car man!

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

Nice car. Beautiful color too! I don't see why everyone hates magnaflow that much. Its not an HKS or Greddy, of course, but if kept at reasonable loudness, it can sound pretty good.

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

I don't think you can tie a brand to a good sounding exhaust; some magnaflows sound great on certain cars, some of the best sounding exhaust I have had was generic off brand shit. Saying a Corsa Exhaust is going to sound the best on his IS300 is dumb, sure the fitment will be a lot better with some of the higher quality stuff but sound is determined by many factors of the motor/exhaust combination.

Cut the resonator out, get a fart can and going dippin on Uni.... :)

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

Needz moar huge turbo :D

nice car man

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

Try again. Lifetime warranty, quality design, non-ricey sound, and one of the few brands that isn't over-priced. Unless of course you think that the exaust on my X, Schiedes' X, and SimulatedWood's X is trashy. Take some Prozac man. You hate on EVERYONE for no reason. Well, actually I'm pretty sure I know the reason, but I'm not going to open that can of worms in a public thread.

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

Haha, thank you for the Magnaflow love. I have heard some of the dumbest brands sound amazing on certain cars, again, its all about how you do it up.

Blizzard... no, just no lol

And Goodhart, patients is a virtue.

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

Patience too!

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

My awesome Buschur exhaust uses a Magnaflow muffler...

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

Nice car febo!!

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

LOL @ the exhaust discussion in here, glad my car could fuel some drama.

Good luck with the car, but why not wait until you turbo the car to buy an exhaust for it? :D

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

I will further support magnaflow as being nice, and reasonably priced. I have NEVER even began to understand why people spend a ton of money on exhaust. All it does is move the harmful gasses to the back of your car. You can make it free flowing and sound nice without spending a ton of money. The cash is better spent elsewhere.

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

i got a magnaflow muffler on my 1g and it sounds great nice and deep and not too agressive they make good products..

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

Geez, thank you everyone on the Magnaflow love!! Haha, and Andrew, I think Im going to be turbo-less for quite some time, sooo may as well get the exhaust while I wait.

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

could just gut the cat, take it out all together or take out the resinator if you want it a bit louder and little better flow just an idea did this with my mx6 and it sounded decent

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

Magnaflow FTW!!!
My buschur exhaust with a Magnaflow muffler was the best sounding exhaust ive ever heard!

Re: Mitsubishi? Nah, I'll take Toyota's rich brother!!
 

Me and turbotalon1g worked it out, he thought I was talking about flowmaster, which is indeed garbage.
