Default New GS350, looking for exhaust

Recently purchased an '09 GS50 to replace my totaled '06 IS350. I've searched through here and couldn't find the answer to a couple questions. I'd like to purchase a Tanabe exhaust and was wondering where members here have purchased one? I checked Amazon and found one on there for < $700 but it says '06-'07. Is there a difference on the '09? I looked on Sewell and it appears the same OEM exhaust is used from '06 to '09. Also, where is a good place to purchase the Tanabe TF lowering springs? I'm assuming we have a CL vendor than can provide me some quotes so I look forward to hearing back. Cheers!

Go here and PM any of the vendors and they should be able to guide you to what you need.

I have the tanabe exhaust on my 2007. I'm probably going to sell it next month (end of Nov) if you're interested. My car is in Cali at the moment but should be shipped up here. What part of WA are you at?

I'm on Tanabe DF for over 2yrs without any issues or complaints. Springs and exhaust are compatible for all 3GS years and models.

Yeah, I had the Tanabe Medallion on my IS350 and loved it! Nice sound but still classy.

Thanks for the offer. I'm looking to make this purchase sooner but I'll hit you up if I don't jump on one by then. I'm south of Seattle in Auburn btw.

Good to know about the compatibility. Safe to say I could purchase springs or exhaust listed for '06 - '07 then?

No problem and I will be in Renton. Springs should be safe. Only suspension difference is coil overs, RWD will NOT fit AWD.

Good luck!

So I ended up ordering the Tanabe exhaust and NF springs from GOTOracing. Kris, the owner, made me a sweet deal I couldn't pass up! I'll post some pics later next week once everything is installed.

I picked up a Tanabe Medallion exhaust from GOTORacing, one of the Club Lexus vendors. They were able to closely match the price I was seeing on Amazon. Very happy with the purchase.

I've dealt with GOTOracing before. Really top notch customer service. Good choice on your exhaust too.
