RC axle back on 3IS
anybody got pictures or clip of an RC axle back installed on their IS? i want to hear how they sound like lol. is it the same as regular RC? For those doing custom quad tips, why don't you just get an RC350s axle back instead of welding a tip. just wondering.
Thanks in advance guys!

By the way, I found CF rear diffuser for quad tip set up. Has anybody had experience with this brand. It looks like replica Aimgain rear diffuser to me: https://www.amazon.com/JCSPORTLINE-C...tline+lexus+is

I'm digging into quad tip looks and probably I can answer your question. In my case, I already have JoeZ and love the sound so welding quad tip is the only option. And it is cheaper, easier than sell current exhaust and get a new one. Plus I am not sure if JoeZ makes RC350 quad tip, at least I do not know that.

I've been wondering the same thing. The Tanabe RC Exhaust sounds way nicer - do RCs sound sportier even stock than IS?
But I'm assuming the hangers or tubes are different sizes so it wouldn't be a simple plug and play.
Top is IS, bottom RC. Love the dual tips.

I'm sort of surprised the tube lengths are the same considering the RC wheelbase is 3" shorter than IS. Guess that is from midpipe forward? But this is awesome news.
Love the sound of the Tanabe:

Awesome. That basically tells us YES it should fit! I sent Tanabe an email about compatibility (regardless of diffuser fitment), will share news if they reply.

This is something someone from our community will just have to take one for the team and try and share the knowledge if it lines up to the aftermarket diffusers (TRD, skipper, maintain, Rowen etc) we have available currently.
My guess is yes or it will be close.
The RC is a hybrid of a 3IS, 4GS and IS- convertible. It's literally a Frankenstein car with not a lot of re-engineering done to it. They recycled engineering

If anyone is willing to try it, as long as it's not installed, I'd waive all shipping fees if it would need to be returned.

another thing, soon we may be seeing quad exhaust for the 2017+ IS refresh.
Lexus is using the RC350 exhuast tip with new diffuser design.
There may be chance that companies like Tanabe start listing same part numbers for the IS refresh to the RC.

I would retrofit that diffuser and exhaust tips in a heart beat. I wonder if that's all it is...
