Default Exhaust note?

Are there any videos out there which have a good sample of the exhaust note on the 2014 IS 350? I know they tuned it on the new GS, I'm hoping they did the same on the new IS...

Also, any word on if the F-Sport models will have a different exhaust note?

Cheers!

Hope they made it aggressive like Infiniti did on all of their cars. The previous Lexus IS 350's exhaust note was super tame and boring to me. The Infiniti G and FX sound so good.

They definitely gave it the same "Sound Creator" from the MY13 GS intake design....
Only, on the IS350 & IS F-Sport Models..

I'm going to go the extra mile and guess that the exhaust note will be "Sportier" for sure.. Like the new GS and also the different mufflers used on the all new LS F-Sport packages..



The engine oil grade has also been updated on the motor to 0W-20, same used on the GS350..
And most of the newly updated Lexus Motors..

No plastic covers on the 2014 engine?
