Default Just installed full spport exhaust system and f sport cold air intake..

*Fsport Exhaust system *On my 2015 is 250 f sport and I must say I like the way the car sounds and feels but I was hoping for a louder sound. I was looking into a meisterschaft with valve control but they are crazy expensive :

Where in Florida are you located?

Give the exhaust a few months, It will get louder and deeper once the packing breaks down.

F-sport exhaust is not full exhaust, it's just axle back that's why it's not that loud. JoeZ full cat exhaust will be a lot louder.

Give it some time before you eliminate the cats. trust me when I tell you that the exhaust sounds different when you are outside the car versus inside the car. The Lexus has a lot of insulation and noise reduction so your exhaust probably sounds quieter than it is.

Also, it sounds different under load versus standing in the driveway and revving the engine.

Trust me when I tell you to give it a few months before you install a midpipe. ALL of the full exhausts and midpipes sound crazy raspy because they eliminate the secondary cat. They keep the secondary resonator but eliminate the cat.

I would rather have my exhaust be a little quiet than raspy and ricey.

Yea it definitely is a quality exhaust, I was actually going to sell it and get the full Ark exhaust system but still up in the air about it.

I heard that ark has a lot more drone inside the cab so make sure u look into it a little more before u decide ! They both do sound great tho , just heard that with joez there's better dyno results proven and quieter inside cab and beautiful sound outside :-) hope this helps

Can'ts speak for Joez, but I just got ARK about 2 weeks ago. I was afraid about drone too, but trust me, it's not even that bad at all. If anything, the "minimum" drone makes the car feel sportier. Have you seen the video from r0shiro? They pretty much captures the ARK system on point. You will only hear the drone if you are going constant acceleration up hill. On the highway, no drone. Same thing for when you're cruising. Hope this helps man. GET IT!!!!!! WON't REGRET!
