Default RC 350 AWD... list of exhaust possibilities?

Obviously the Lexus F-Sport exhaust fits.

Does anyone with the awd model know what other exhaust systems work?

I know you can also replace the mufflers with piping and just weld on quad tips or leave stock tips. But wondering what is for sale as a whole exhaust.

Thanks,
Mike

I saw this when ordering my springs. I think it looks pretty sharp but you could probably have a shop install borla mufflers and tips for same price.

Thanks, I am def looking to do something with a quad tip.

They just put a video on youtube.. Sounds pretty quiet, whats your opinion if you can play it... does it even sound much diff than stock?

Pricing is around $815-840 shipped for the Tanabe depending which place you go to buy it.


Quad tips + muffler delete is probably less than $450. Leaving everything else and just taking the mufflers out seems louder than this, just wonder if it drones?

I listened to it and I definitely think it's louder than stock, but I want mine a little louder. I haven't heard a muffler delete but I'd imagine it might be louder than I'd want it. Also, not sure if it would cause any sensor issues for car. Search on you tube and look for borla/other mufflers on an IS350 to get an idea of different sounds.

FYI Tanabe exhaust is in production. Will be shipping to customers in January - Just spoke to Tanabe live on the phone.

Besides deeper sound, does anyone know if Lexus claims there are any performance gains with their exhaust?

Thanks
