Hey guys

Just got my 2015 IS350 F sport yesterday, loaded, white with red interior. While at the dealership I went ahead and ordered the F sport intake and exhaust, which should be here Friday. I was wondering if there was anything else common I could do, or that yall would recommend.

This is my daily driver, so i dont want to do anything too crazy. As a daily, it has about everything I want. It is much more comfortable than my other car, smoother, and gets just as good if not better MPG. I wish it had more low end torque, but that comes with the V6 high revving N/A territory.


thanks, and I look forward to learning more about the car and brand, this is my first Lexus.

If you create an account with Sewell Lexus Parts website and put that you are a CL member you will get some nice prices on the parts.

Cost wasnt the determining factor for me, it was the warranty coverage. however, for both with install im looking at right about $2050.

honestly the joez axle back is half the price of a F sport exhaust. Some people complained the F Sport exhaust wasnt loud enough for a mod

I love my JoeZ axle back on my 2015 f-sport, especially in sport mode

Hi, nabizzy
Welcome! Excited to look at some awesome pictures!
Will you be able to record the sound of your exhaust after it's modded? (F-sport intake + F-Sport exhaust)
I'm thinking about upgrading my stock ones to F-Sport ones, but I'm not sure what the difference is.
