Hypothetical exhaust question... muffler delete
Hello,
Since I leased my car and don't want to hack up the stock exhaust.
The RC, GS, and IS 350 (Awd or RWD), all have the same exhaust (minus the tips (RC and GS) are the same part #. I confirmed this just now with Lexus parts department.
If I purchase someones stock RC, GS, IS exhaust - the axleback portion and put on the quad tips. Would I be able to do a muffler delete? Or is the muffler delete farther up toward the cats?

I can get a shop to make an axleback... or I was thinking take a stock exhaust, do a muffler delete and add tips.
I didn't want to play around with mufflers though, and like how the car sounds with a muffler delete.
Do you know when they do a muffler delete, is it in the axleback area, or is it more toward the cats?

Did you buy the IS 350 axleback from someone or dealer, and what did you pay?
Do you mind sharing what the place charged to do the muffler delete, weld on tips and install?
Thanks for your help!

Also did you use megan tips or what kind? All the ones i have found are 2.5 inch piping. I think stock exhaust is 2.25 but the 2.5 still works.
Thanks again
Thanks again

I purchased a slightly used axleback off of a forum member on here for $150. Any muffler shop can tackle the project, but if you want it to have a good quality fit and finish than I would pay a little more to have it done by a reputable shop. I had the tips welded on slightly angled as well. Here is the link:

oh, i see. that is true. I've looked around and I couldn't really find a stock IS350 axle back yet. Does it have to be the IS350 model?
