After reviewing the pictures, I do see my Y pipe is a little different, didn't know that there could be other possibilities in y pipes.

I've put the Megan racing mids on and the sound has definitely improved.

Could someone verify if there are aftermarket Y pipes or replica Y pipes for the f sport exhaust?

So did you see my post, it is the one before your last post. check the pictures

I have the newest version bought new from Sewell Lexus and it looks the same as the OP except mine is polished stainless and his does not look like stainless. I will take pictures when I have time.

It's a relief that I'm not the only one with an unfamiliar F sport exhaust. My seller claimed to have used it for 10k miles so that would just be from normal use. Seeing as how you have the same one j guess I can rest easy.

Side note- does your exhaust tip protrude out a tad too much? My tips def stick out a little bit. I feel without a rear lip it looks slightly out of place.

No I don't think it sticks out to far.

I have the F-Sport engraving on mine and a Y pipe (not the T pipe that the OP has).

Most of the exhaust comes out of one side and you can see that because one tip is significantly blacker than the other.

Exhaust used to have a lower note and louder when brand-new, now it sounds smoother sort of like a V8.

The F-Sport is more quiet than others. But this is simple to correct, buy and install midpipe!

You won't be able to achieve a V8 sound on a V6, However if you are looking for the one that gives it the NICEST Exhaust sound IMHO of course, it would be V2 with the logo imprint, and has the Y piping.
