Default Question about IS250 AWD suspension and exhaust

Alright I'm new here and don't want to get flamed on or anything but I have a couple questions I hope someone can help me get answered. I'm looking into an IS250 AWD 2006 that's in mint shape. I heard from people that if a AWD model is lowered there will be vibration once lowered? Whys that? And my second question is why the AWD exhaust different than the RWD exhaust? Only way to get an exhaust is buy the catback or make a custom exhaust? Is there a way to bypass the exhaust to add an Invidia midpipe? Thanks

If you do a search you'll see that the 2006's seem to not have any lowering problems . Not sure on the exhaust.

Exhaust is different. You can do most axle backs but there is no mid pipe for the AWD that I know of. The AWD vibrates when it is lowered because the front axles sort of stretch and pull on the front differential. This doesn't happen in the RWD because they obviously don't have the front diff. If you're going to buy it check the CV axles. Mine is lowered 1.5 inches and It vibrates every now and then but it doesn't bother me.
