Yes I know its a Lexus, but its the brands high performance sedan and it should stand out from the rest of the pack wothout sacrificing Lexus luxury and quality. If you listen to mercedes's AMG's especially the C63 it stand out from the pack and its an agressive sounding exhaust from factory. IMO you should hear the ISF coming down the road...

From what I've seen, the usual loss to power train in an auto is somewhere in the region of 15 - 20% , so 22 - 25 hp at the wheels would translate to 26 - 30hp at the crank. (That's at a 15% loss).
I don't know what the typical IS-F driveline hp losses are but is has to be 15% at least maybe more.

At WOT (wide open throttle) our Exhaust tone is agressive & comes to life!!!!
Also, in my opinion our system represents Lexus Luxury and Quality as well.
A question was asked & responded to concering low rpm dronning, which equates to normal driving conditions and consistent mph speed, like driving on a freeway..

Agreed on your OEM exhaust point.
