The website clearly states on http://www.lexus.com/models/is/price_options.html that it's coming in spring '06. Maybe the person you spoke to isn't aware of it, that doesn't mean it's not coming.

try calling another dealer, or several. also, it doesn't say day one of spring, it could be the end of spring before it comes out. the only way to know is to call..

It really depends on the manufactuer of it. You can get full titanium exhausts for S2000's way under $1000, but you can also get them for over $2000.

Not to sound like too much of an idiot, but I've never upgraded a stock exhaust. What is the main benefit of the HKS over stock exhaust: sound, performance or both?

both, the IS exhaust is very restrictive, a true dual exhaust needs to be created for larger gains
