Exhaust / Intake Mods
Hi all,
Ran into a bit of a bottleneck here on what to do....
Planning on doing the "F-Sport Modding" on my new IS, but I don't know what would be the best option
Not looking for a loud sound, but something that has a good tone.
If possible, please let me know what you suggest, and why.
That will help a TON. Thank you so much in advance!

From my reading and research, the "F-sport" parts are overpriced and underwhelming.
You'd do better, both for overall expectations, and best bang for the buck, to explore outside of the Lexus offerings.
Keep in mind, if you want the "Lexus parts" because you want warranty, do not fear, bolt ons will not impact your warranty (no matter who built the part).

I currently have F sport intake and JoeZ exhaust and love the sound, if you look back at some of my posts you can watch some of the videos that I posted from both inside and outside of the car. I started with F sport intake and F sport exhaust.
I like the sound that I have now much better.

I put Injen intake on and cut mufflers off exhaust. The intake does get loud when you're really pushing the car. The exhaust also get loud when you're are driving it hard. Both cannot really be heard when driving normal. I personally like a loud beautiful sound so it doesn't bother me.

Do you have any clip to share?

What I meant was, you won't lose your warranty with an intake and exhaust, regardless whose parts you buy. The Magnusson Moss Act protects you. So pick what makes you happy. Don't overpay for lower quality.
As for mods, my signatures is the mods on my car. I void warranties very quickly in the name of performance Starting over next year with a ZL1

The intake on the other hand, other than the fact that it looks great, I can't honestly say it sounds any louder. With the f-sport exhaust installed, you won't be able to hear the intake stock or f-sport.

The exhaust is so much better than the stock, it runs pretty quiet unless you go above 1500rpm. Once you go above 2000rpm the car really growls. On the freeway there is no droning, maybe slight hum. I think it won't be as loud as some aftermarket exhaust, but this is the perfect level of noise for me, plus it looks nice.

I guess after having F-Sport exhaust, sound generator doesn't do anything anymore
