This is by far the best setup for the AWD models since they don't make midpipes. I got the exact same setup Vibrant performance resonator 1792 with a muffler delete and I installed a Takeda stage 2 Cold Air Intake.
Probably the nicest cleanest sounding IS i've heard so far. Thank god you didn't delete everything LOL. Heard that on another IS and it sounds like complete and utter shit. Just fucking N O I S E !!! 😂😂😂
LOL trust me man I did some fuckin research before doing this. Straight piped IS' are just as bad as straight piped VQ's. Glad I could start something good in this community lol
So true, I had straight pipe & didn't like it at all not only was it obnoxiously loud but felt like it robbed the car of power, so now my setup will be the vibrant resonator bottle style with Flowmaster delta race muffler in mid, I'm getting it installed today.
Do you have modified stock exhaust or modified aftermarket exhaust and do you have a secondary cat delete as well just wondering because I’m looking for a future setup and yours has the right amount of sound and rumble
Muffler delete is just cutting the muffler out and replacing that missing section with a steel pipe. That's all there is to it. I'm planning to go one further and removing the secondary cats so there's more free flow exhaust gasses from the engine straight through.
How is the drone? Asking because I want to switch from vibrant ultra quiet to bottle style resonator. I'm afraid the ultra quiet will muffler too much sound
Ultra quiet is what I'm running believe it or not lol I highly recommend it if you're gonna do this set up. Or if you plan on running a muffler that isn't that loud
@@Revitalyzed I just want to remove the drone. Is there still drone? Nah screw the muffler, I love the loud sound. I'll keep the ultra quiet if the drone is reduced
What’s your pipe size? Did you do 2.25 inch or 2.5? You have just 1 vibrant resonator installed? Where did you place the resonator at? Close to the engine or closer down to the exhaust tips?
I notice you have your car lowered a bit. I have a 2008 Lexus IS 250 AWD and wonder...how does it ride lowered a bit? I know with the AWD system it can causing vibration and shaking at certain speeds.
@@Red-ji3yc Sorry I actually have the 1792 model on mine. I don't have a sound clip on youtube, but I could send you a video on Instagram if you want? my insta is @daedricjon
i have the same setup and its more or less to eliminate a lot of the raspiness/drone that happens with just a muffler delete on this car as the resonator helps eliminate high frequency noise, also it definitely gives the car a more full and deep tone
Stopped several times for the noise, mainly because I drive in manual mode to keep the revs high because I like the sound lol. But yeah cops here don't like cars with no muffler, even though it's not crazy loud
Another question. Do you get exhaust pop on deceleration? Currently I have removed my mufflers (still got secondary cats and stock resonator in) and my exhaust pops on deceleration and its quite noticeable even in the cabin. I like that and was wondering if you're getting any with this resonator?
Nah I don't personally. I only ever get some pops at low RPMs on deceleration if I have the AC blasting in the summer LOL sometimes if it's cold out on cold starts but that rarely ever happens as I drive the car in the summer only
He has the standard bottle style. You can tell cause the ultra quiets are.... well quiet. Quieter than this at least. And also he said in another comment that the resonator is 12" long. The ultra quiet doesn't come in a 12" size
Thanks I was tryna figure out if I have to mess around with anything else before doing this , can you tell me you’re exact setup by the way with the part names? I tried calling this one shop and they couldn’t figure out what I wanted based off what I told them so lmk plz🙌
Thanks man. Last question lol is it the vibrant 1790? Sorry for asking so much question I have a Lexus & I did a muffler delete but I want it a lil louder & I ran across your video & it sounds perfect
Definitely the best sounding exhaust. All the other setups I've seen are way too loud/high pitched. Thank you for posting
Thanks brotha! Yeah I did a lot of research as to what would sound clean and not horribly loud. This is the most perfect sound for IS 250's IMO.
Revitalyzed what’s your setup? I’m thinking about doing this but don’t want my 250 to sound ricerish
Do u think this set up would sound the same on the 350?
What kind of muffler delete is in the car
Antonio Buffone bro what are you talking about? There’s no kind you cut the mufflers and weld piping to extend out and get some nice tips 🤦🏻♂️
This is by far the best setup for the AWD models since they don't make midpipes. I got the exact same setup Vibrant performance resonator 1792 with a muffler delete and I installed a Takeda stage 2 Cold Air Intake.
Would this not work with the RWD version?
@@chopp7334 It would, I have it on mine
@@danitrujillo2208 thnx man, going to get this upgrade
@@danitrujillo2208 how does it sound for u?
@@driveonthestraightpath2138 same as this video lol
Sounds amazing! First on the list to do when i get mine😁
Looks like it's the 1792 Vibranr Resonator just received mine installing this week I'll keep you guys posted
Yup sounds great same as this
Does it drone a lot more?
@@BeatWithBass44 honestly depends man I dont mind it but once you get above 2-2500 rpms it does drone a lot especially on the highway at 70 or 80 mph
kallmehh right now i just have a muffler delete but i want it to be louder without adding a fuck load of drone lol
can we get a video please? and did you put any mufflers, or just replaced the resonator with this vibrant one and deleted the mufflers?
Probably the nicest cleanest sounding IS i've heard so far. Thank god you didn't delete everything LOL. Heard that on another IS and it sounds like complete and utter shit. Just fucking N O I S E !!! 😂😂😂

@@Revitalyzed Yep. I'm happy I came across this video because now i'm going with the exact same setup. Vibrant Ultra Quiet resonator on order :)
Can you link the vibrant resonator?
Vibrant 1792 bottle resonator !
That sounds and looks sooo fucking good dude
finally someone who dosent just straight pipe their 2IS... all these other people make it sound like complete shit
LOL big facts
So true, I had straight pipe & didn't like it at all not only was it obnoxiously loud but felt like it robbed the car of power, so now my setup will be the vibrant resonator bottle style with Flowmaster delta race muffler in mid, I'm getting it installed today.
Can you do a freeway sound test
How's the drone at highway speeds?
Whats your wheel set up? Your car is lowered perfect with a nice stance
Did you add vibrants in addition to your oem resonators, or did you replace the oem?
Also, did the resonators reduce drone?
so vibrant just replaced the stock res or is stock res still on?
Replaced it
How is it cruising on the freeway?
I’m going to do this exact setup soon ! Ordering the resonator soon !
I think it will sound really good- does this have any pops or anything?
You need MForce tune if you want many pops but it maybe pops once when you downshift without the tune
@@danitrujillo2208 I just got it done today and holy moly does it sound good -
@@Tharvey9421 the tune or muffler delete
@@danitrujillo2208 muffler, resonator delete replacing w vibrant bottle style 1792
@@Tharvey9421 does it drone bad? I don’t mind a little drone but it is my DD
Sounds really good
Do you have modified stock exhaust or modified aftermarket exhaust and do you have a secondary cat delete as well just wondering because I’m looking for a future setup and yours has the right amount of sound and rumble
this is the same thing i did, it’s amazing
Did you keep the cats? So other than the muffler delete, you just swapped out the resonator and thats it?
When you guys are doing these deletes are you literally just replacing the mufflers etc with pipe or replacing the whole system?
Muffler delete is just cutting the muffler out and replacing that missing section with a steel pipe. That's all there is to it. I'm planning to go one further and removing the secondary cats so there's more free flow exhaust gasses from the engine straight through.

@@Revitalyzed Hey how is the drone after fitting ultra quiet resonator?
@@blackpanda7612 @Revitalyzed
How much did this setup cost?
i’m curious how loud is the exhaust when you’re driving like is it noticeable or not really?
What’s your pipe size? Did you do 2.25 inch or 2.5? You have just 1 vibrant resonator installed? Where did you place the resonator at? Close to the engine or closer down to the exhaust tips?
Ayoo
Also can you post a link in description to the products you bought
Hows the drone inside?
What's drone?
Which vibrant resonator did you purchase?
Would you get any sound with just stock exhaust setup but with vibrant resonator (no muffler delete)?
No
Can you tell me where you got your f sport shift knob and how you got it carbon fiber in the interior
I notice you have your car lowered a bit. I have a 2008 Lexus IS 250 AWD and wonder...how does it ride lowered a bit? I know with the AWD system it can causing vibration and shaking at certain speeds.
You have to get the rrracing suspension or superpro bushings
What year is your car? And did the check engine light come on
No
hey man whats the brand of the resonator?
does the resonator help with the drone?
What size piping did u replace the mufflers with and what size tips do u have???
He has 4 inch tips bro. its in the description. However not sure about he pipe size
Where did u get it?
Boot spoiler link please?
Does this drone really bad between 2000rpm and 3000rpm?
What size popping for the muffler delete
what size tips
can you link where u got the vibrant resonator?
what spoiler is that
Sounds great, it that the 1792 model? I have the 1790 on mine currently.

Any drone inside the car?
What made you change the resonator after the muffler delete, did you I ust want it a little louder? Thanks just asking for future reference
i have the same setup and its more or less to eliminate a lot of the raspiness/drone that happens with just a muffler delete on this car as the resonator helps eliminate high frequency noise, also it definitely gives the car a more full and deep tone
What resonator did u get? 1792???
Hey man im from ontario too and i love the sound, have you ever been stopped? Is this a legal setup?
Stopped several times for the noise, mainly because I drive in manual mode to keep the revs high because I like the sound lol. But yeah cops here don't like cars with no muffler, even though it's not crazy loud
@@Revitalyzed What was your excuse to get away from them? 😭
Which vibrant resonator is it 1792 ? The small bottle style Resonator or the ultra quiet vibrant?
Does this help with drone or no? I did a resonator delete and mufflers and I hate how bad it drones. Trying to find a fix
Chris Esquivel dont take off your resonator thats what stops drone just get a good one or even add a high flow muffler
Muffler delete = drone at 60mph, trust me.. i did this to my lexus its not too bad but it does drone
Does it drone on the highway?

Very attainable car bro gotta work for it
Bro you got this . I got this car at 17 years old . You will get it soon
What the exhuast set up
What resonator is this?
how many vibrant resonators did you use?
Would assume he just has 1.
any drone ?
Who many resonators 1 or 2
Does it drone
What year Lexus is this?
Did you replace your oem resonator with the vibrant resonator? Or did you just add it
Sounds amazing btw!
Replaced
What size piping you got after the resonator?
2.5" but that was because my muffler delete setup I had ran larger pipes
My 2015 has 2 resonator did you customize to fit 1?
2IS only has one resonator and I swapped out the OEM one for the Vibrant one
Does the Lexus have two pairs of vibrant resonators or just one?
one resonator
Which model resonator from vibrant is this???
Not sure tbh
Revitalyzed they have a small ish but fat one it’s the ultra quiet one or they have a long bottle/tubular looking res do u know which it was??
He has the standard bottle style. You can tell cause the ultra quiets are.... well quiet. Quieter than this at least. And also he said in another comment that the resonator is 12" long. The ultra quiet doesn't come in a 12" size
Is it 250awd ??
What’s done to the engine I’m trying to do this setup exactly
Nothing just the exhaust

is that the resonator in the spot of the muffler?
Replaces the OEM resonator
vibrant 1792?
