Oh, in case any 2Is guys are reading this there are NO exhausts to be found right now so please be patient. Tanabe gets a gang of phone calls everyday asking for IS exhaust.

Out of the box, the exhaust system weighs about 38lbs

Yes, unfortunately, no IS exhausts. We still have these pieces in stock for the 3GS. I believe there are several members who have this system installed.

It was actually pretty messy when you came by We try to keep everything very very organized. We had just received a container the last week.

Ferrarilon,

We don't sell anything directly from our corporate headquarters, but please feel free to contact ClubLexus vendors such as TM Engineering or Carson Toyota, which may be able to extend discounted pricing to you. Please let them know we referred you to them

webhed,

Do you have any additional pictures of your car? It looks very good. How are you enjoying the exhaust system?

Does Tanabe take suggestions from us here on CL on what type of exhaust to make? I would love to see one like mine made in stainless steel. If you click on Exhaust/Intake in my sig and scroll down to the middle of the page you will see my custom exhaust. The custom section is from the cats up front to just before the mufflers at the rear. Not a lot of pipe and if mass produced, can be affordable.

A lot of people I think would jump on this type of exhaust if it was easily available.

Hello Hameed!

We are always taking suggestions on improving our product lineup, which is why we joined the ClubLexus community! Great job on fabricating your own exhaust! All of our exhaust systems are full sus304 stainless, with our second gen GS exhausts being a complete bolt-on catback, albeit not true dual to maintain compatibility between models.

So what would it take to make one like mine, but in ful sus304 stainless?
