Lexus Dealership aftermarket F sport performance exhaust
So I was looking online at the lexus website and I see they have an F sport performance exhaust for the RC 350 F-sport. I was wondering if anyone has purchased this exhaust from the dealership and if so how do you like it, how does it sound, and what type of performance has it given or boosted?
Here is a link to the website with the exhaust: http://www.lexus.com/models/RC/accessories

Hey, hope you're doing well. I went with the Lexus F-Sport Performance exhaust. There were aftermarket ones out there but some of them were a bit rough sounding. Contrary to popular belief the F-Sport Exhaust is deep, sounds clean and fairly loud. It's tuned well and has a nice sound -- it turns heads everywhere.
The mufflers are made of a very polished stainless steel. I would've preferred it in a quad tip configuration, but the tips that it does come with are solid in size and thickness. If you do install this, you'll have to use the F-Sport diffuser.
I've had nothing but compliments and the thing sounds great. I installed an AFE Power Takeda intake as well and the combination beautiful. Attached a few pics of the F-Sport Exhaust

Thanks I really appreciate the info and pics it definitely helps me out a lot. I've been trying figure out if they are any good, if they are too quite ect.....
2 Question though: Is there any additional hp gains or no? And are there any cons at all you have about the exhaust?
Also if it's not too much trouble do you think you could upload a short video or sound clip of what the exhaust sounds like? If not it's cool, I appreciate the info you have given thus far.

Video: Sure I'll PM you the video. Let me know when you've seen it, so I can delete it from the server. The video is wideo-open-throttle, which is too bad because it sounds a lot more elegant and "song like" around 3500-5000k, then it turns into a loud brrrrrrr sound. The induction noise form my intake here is also being obnoxious under WOT.
Gains: It's axel back, so minimum, but it feels like it opened up in the right places, especially in the low RPM range.
PM of video on it's way!

Plus you get rid of all that extra weight. The stock mufflers actually do weigh quite a bit

Any reason why you're looking at the F Sport muffler vs just a muffler delete? If it's sound you're looking for I honestly think a muffler delete sounds much better. It's extremely quiet when idle, but comes alive under throttle. And as long as you have the rear seats up, there's no drone.

Ok, I'm confused. So Lexus makes or sell an exhaust called a "F Sport Exhaust" for a Lexus model RC350 F Sport? Why??? I was reading other threads on how IS owners want a F Sport Exhaust for their cars. I figured they were trying to purchase the same exhaust that is on my RC 350 F sport but it appears that is not the case and that F Sport owners can benefit from a Exhaust system called F Sport from Lexus. Someone please clarify. Thank you

As to why... probably because it's one more way for Lexus to make money from people who want to stick with Lexus branded parts.

Ok, thank you for the explanation. Not a lot time went into naming that exhaust. Lexus performance add-on department probably had a liquid lunch that day and got a little lazy. LOL
