Swiderski is a good guy. I've had many dealings with him as I am a NAPA autoparts store manager here in North Tonawanda. I would give him a shot and tell him Joe from NAPA sent you if you want. I also used to work with Innovative Tuning. Both shops are great, but neither specializes in Lexus.


Does anyone around here have any kind of exhaust on their 3IS? I am thinking of getting one, but really don't want the drone to be intrusive. Afterall, I am coming from a full 3 inch setup on the Subaru and have outgrown that for the time being.

I would truly appreciate that. I am in no hurry as I want to wait for the weather to break before I do the work. I wouldn't go cat back either. Most likely axle back.


Either way, I just need to hear this engine with exhaust in person.


You let me know when it is convenient for you. I am not even sure if I have the ability to PM on this forum yet either for a phone # swap.

Well I got my RSR Downs installed over the weekend at unique up in Canada and it was well worth the trip. Victor the owner met me and had the car done in 2 hours. I also just ordered the AEM intake just wanted a little better engine note.

Can any rec a good place to get an alignment? I know Licata's was mentioned but they have rough hours for me 8-4:30 and no weekends.

Could you let me know how much it cost and where this ship is located/ called? I've got RSR half down's ordered and trying to line up a shop. I'd rather go to a shop that has recently done a 3IS.

I live near Rochester. Don't own an IS yet but have 2 BMWs: a 335 convertible and a 328 sedan. Looking for a CPO IS 350 f-sport (ideally) to replace my 328 but there is slim pickings around here. All our local dealer has are IS 250s so I haven't been even able to test drive what I want yet.

Sorry to activate a 2 year old thread but I will be getting rid of my IS and will have an AEM intake for sale for a 2014+ IS if anyone is interested locally.
