is it possible to fold down the backseats for the is350? i just got my tanabe exhaust and would like to bring it to the shop to install but its looking kinda impossible to fit in my car.

The backseats are not foldable from what I can remember. Sorry.

The back seat itself does not fold down. There is only the ski-sized pass-through located behind the middle armrest in the back seat.

damnn that sucks.. theres no way i can fit that 6 foot tall box inside the interior..maybe i have to take it apart or have to use another vehicle to drive it there..

A 6 ft tall box can fit through if it is less than 8 inches wide/tall...

if you plan to take the old exhaust home, then you should get a truck; otherwise, just take out the new exhaust from the box, then it'll fix your trunk.

Yeah I had to have the shop hold my OEM exhaust for a day and I borrowed my mother's RX and went a picked it up.

take the tanabe out of the box.. it should fit in your trunk. somehow i was able to fit the oem exhaust in my backseat. i still don't know how i got it in there?

fits in trunk perfect outside the box

Yea I was kinda disappointed by that too... I really done see any reason why they couldnt have made those rear seats fold down.

I was able to put my HKS exhaust in the trunk prior to installation. It was out of the box.

However, I had to leave the stock exhaust at the mechanic's. I have yet to pick it up...

Worst thing about the IS in my opinion is no folding seat. Doesnt really cut down on storage space cause you can use the back seat, but it does cut down on the size of stuff you can carry big time, not to mention the rear leather isnt protected as well when filling the car up either. Only thing that gets me through this downfall is trying to convince myself that it is quieter in the cabin because of more isolation from the trunk even if it may not be true.

you have the ski bag whole in the back seat you can use that. I always use that for fishing rods.

I assumed it makes the seat less comfortable if it can fold. But, as my other car is a Honda Pilot, it's not a feature I needed.
