    To be honest I am suprised no one has mentioned the FM Transmitter made by UNBREAKable https://www.amazon.co.uk/LENCENT-Transmitter-Wireless-Bluetooth-Lossless/dp/B08L3WX26S/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=16PQI2EMMAURL&keywords=unbreakable+bluetooth+fm+transmitter+car&qid=1654987479&sprefix=unbreakable+bluetoo%2Caps%2C103&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzTVFPNVlDRFlLR0tBJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNzI2NDgzMlZPSzVMSUhHNEREVyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNTI0NTQwMUsySENITURIQUpFQSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl Its been receiving glowing reviews however I am sure a low hum exists in some cases which I am aware dissapears once you turn volume up, if it doesnt will a background loop mentioned earlier by @zoricib do the job? The link he provided isnt returning any results.

    Hi, thanks for your response, Its a fair distance but if its worth it ill take that as a lead! When they did yours, how did it sound? Did you get any noticeable gains in performance, and what were they like on price? Ill go and check them out!

    Morning Ladies & Gentleman, I am a fairly new poster here, so go easy! I have a lexus Is250 in matador red, and I need a new exhaust system, due to the old one blowing, this includes the rear tail pipes, the mid pipe and the catalytic converter. I am looking for a setup which gives me a nice tone, but something which isn't so loud it disturbs the neighbours, what are your thoughts? Id also like to hopefully add some power in the process, i have been told an invidea mid pipe with resonator will give me the result i am looking for but i just wanted a second opinion, i was also toying with the idea of just heading over to https://www.onlineautomotive.co.uk/car-parts/Lexus/IS250/2.5L/Petrol/Premium/Exhausts/Catalytic-Converters/LEX5005H/1/34?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvdDks9aO8wIVjLt3Ch3xMwq7EAQYAiABEgIZWfD_BwE have anyone used these guys, and what are your thoughts? They seem reasonably priced for sure. And getting this with rear pipes of my choosing, but i am not sure on the best route to take, any help is greatly appreciated, and again, im looking for a tasteful mod, nothing too boy racer-ish, but nonetheless a nice tone, and i NO DRONE (I cant stress that enough) Thanks for your time, - Mitch

    Any luck selling it? Or does anyone else have this tow bar
  6. Mitcheyfex
    Do you still have the tow bar as im interested
  7. Mitcheyfex
    This is exactly the kind of sound im looking for! HKS exhausts are so expensive though. Thanks

    Fair enough, good to know. Kind of a bummer because something is definitely effecting the performance, I know spark plugs are due to be done and it could do with a carbon clean perhaps? Just some ideas circulating. Thanks for clarifying that, appreciate it.
  9. Mitcheyfex
    Thanks for your response. Are you sure? Every garage seems to assure me that holes in the exhaust system does affect performance and it definitely feels less 'sharp' than when I bought it. Yes, I made sure to look at the IS250 videos, I also watched some of the IS350 ones and oh my 🙂

    Also, I do have the service video from Lexus Gatwick which does show the holes on the exhaust, I'm happy to send this video to anyone that might be able to tell me what I need and whether or not indeed I do need th front section and new cat. Tia

    OD or ID? Thanks for all of your help on this! I'm debating on just waiting it out to see if I can get an OEM exhaust system second hand, and dealing with trying to get a slightly deeper tone later on down the line. By resonated I mean a system with a resonator on it, I was told this would still be fairly quiet but have a nice subtle tone when accelerating. I really like the Tenabe exhaust system but I just don't think I can afford it at the moment, but that would be my ideal exhaust system by what I've seen and heard. It sounds terrible at the moment and really doesn't feel like it's 206bhp, so anything will be a substantial improvement.

    Question regarding changing the diameter of the rear pipe. Would this affect performance gains because your technically limiting air flow?
  13. Mitcheyfex
    Thanks guys! So glad I finally got a response on this. I'm quite looking forward to trying out the DVD player, and I'll investigate the rear vents, does anyone know how it would have become disconnected or where from? Is the connecter under the centre compartment which also needs to be removed to gain access to the Sat Nav unit? Could it be a fuse, and if so which one would it be. Oh yeah, my bluetooth doesn't work either, I can make phonecalls and hear the other person but they can't hear me, any ideas with that one? Could I have messed it up by putting a new Mark Levison Head Unit in it? Thanks again guys!

    Thanks for the responses guys, very informative and I really appreciate all the info. Apparently modifying anything to do with emissions is technically illegal and supposed to be an MOT failure however most independent garages just go off the emissions read out and if it passes the emissions test they are usually satisfied, I have heard of a few lexus owners removing two of the cats and still being able to obtain an MOT. I'm looking for a system which isn't too loud and offensive but has a nice deep tone (not the kind that would wake the neighbours up) possibly a resonated system? Please confirm if correct or incorrect. But that does answer my question in full and I really appreciate that, and following on from this I will get a second opinion, because replacing the mid and rear section will be considerably cheaper than replacing the whole exhaust. I have actually found a second hand exhaust system it is completely standard though but the guy only wants £120 for it, it is however quite rusty but no signs of weld or any holes whatsoever, is there any issues buying an exhaust system with rust, and could it pose problems down the line. Thank you again guys

    Sorry to revive an old thread. The weld went well, but I also now have other holes in the exhaust and taking it to a garage they have advised I need a new back pipe mid section and cat. I read today that catalytic converters are being targeted by thieves because the value of the metal inside these cats is more valuable than Gold currently. What is stopping me selling my cats in order to obtain enough money for a new exhaust system? Would that work? Or is it a stupid question. Thanks in advance
