Or, you could forgo the Lexus Tip assemblies and plumb your exhaust to look something like this with real exhaust tips:

And - Tanabe makes an exhaust for the F, with dual tips protruding through the holes, not quads.

For you folks who are really interested in this mod, here is another pict, from underneath the car, with no exhaust. Just the tip assemblies:

So, neither exhaust outlet is actually functional? I already ordered the bumper, so I'll post pics how it would look with just the OEM IS250 exhaust ... I don't want to spend 275 a piece for something that isn't even functional unless the OEM exhaust absolutely looks horrifying. I think I might be able to pull it off, I'll probably ask the doos to just bend/re-form the OEM exhaust so it fits flush with the bumper.

That black IS-F with the angled quad exhaust looks so sick!

Yes, it's functional. The exhaust gases come out through the openings. The tips are just not attached to the muffler exit pipes. Good luck with your bumper, don't forget the picts when your done.

What do you mean by the foam energy absorber? Besides the reinforcement bar, everything else looks completely different from each other

You ask, and you shall receive! Here are some pics before it gets painted. The body shop is also going to try fiddling with the exhaust a bit to make it look nice. Looks like the OEM IS250 exhaust will work with minor modification but definitely going to go quad in the near future. Fitment was superb, there were NO gaps whats so ever, and it was fits like a glove onto the IS250 Chassis.


Heres some crappy cellphone pics (My bad, didn't have my dslr with me)

The foam energy absorber is what goes between the the reinforcement bar and the bumper cover. The white thing below is the foam energy absorber:

Steveo88, what are you doing to do to fill that space in the exhaust outlet?
