Right now the only engine mods are the deleted cat and the Tanabe exhaust. Everything else is virtually stock.......for now that is.

Tanabe Medalion Touring exhaust? I must say, the folks at Lexus have good taste
I think Lexus is going to really be pushing the performance of their Hybrids, what with the LS 600h and Hybrid IS on the horizon.
*Crossing my fingers in the hope that Lexus releases "enthusiast" targetted models like a 6sp IS350 Coupe*
