Default TRD Exhaust for IS350?

So I'm looking to buy a is350 & the owner says the car has a TRD exhaust that he bought from Lexus for $1400 back in '07. Any info on these exhausts? Searched & couldnt find much info on them...somebody told me that it is pretty much a F-Sport but the owner says it is not loud at all..

It could be a TRD muffler, but I've not seen/read about a TRD branded exhaust setup offered on the 2IS before. Ask for pics!

So here is some pics & info on this exhaust

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/per...st-anyone.html

Looks exactly like a F-Sport to me, and the OP of the thread mentioned that apparently it is a HKS exhaust branded under the TRD name, just like how the F-Sport is a rebranded HKS. Hmm..guess I'll make some video clips when I get the car this weekend..

I am assuming since it was bought in 07 from a Lexus dealer it is most likely a Lexus HKS exhaust.

Officially it was the "Lexus dual sport exhaust by HKS".

Aka "Lexus HKS exhaust"

Ahh, I see..it all makes sense now. Thanks for the replies & link above, looks like Joe Z himself confirmed it as well. I see now why it looked like a F Sport exhaust yet the owner said it was not loud at all. Looks like I already have my first mod done for me

Best sounding exhaust if you like them quiet. Really reminds me of Infiniti G35.
