Narrative:

We, small aircraft X, were practicing instrument apches. We were established in level flight inbound on our first practice ILS at the initial approach altitude. An small aircraft Y apparently unaware that outbnd procedures are typically (VFR) 2500' to the procedure turn, was outbnd at 2200'. On seeing him we started a descending right turn to avoid. Apparently he never saw us. We were in contact with a radar equipped tower who never called him as traffic for us.
