Default Playing in the Snow with AWD and F Sport Performance Exhaust Noise

Found this clip on the Reddit Lexus sub. This isn't my car, but I have the same set up. Fun to watch and listen to the Performance Exhaust.

Doing some AWD doughnuts in the snow

You sure can. Even with AWD it's still 70% power to the rear, and 30% to the front, so it's pretty easy to get the rear to kick out. But, between the fronts and the car's corrective actions, you'll never get a true doughnut -- or at least I haven't been able to yet.

It can give up to 50 / 50 front rear IIRC.

Well, looks like I learned something new. But I have to say that it sure seems to take awhile before it redistributes power, because in snow I can easily start to spin out on just a simple 90˚ turn at 15-20 mph before the traction control and VSC stabilizes it. I guess maybe that's when the power shifts as well? I can also easily kick out the rear end through a snowy intersection with a heavy-footed start from a stop sign with traction control off.

I've also been able to swing the rear out. Having fun every time.

Does this have an exhaust or is that OEM?

It's the aftermarket Lexus F-Sport Performance Exhaust....different than the stock F-Sport exhaust, if that makes sense lol.
