How can I determine if an exhaust is actual an f-sport?
I am looking to purchase a used f-sport exhaust, but wanted to ask a few quick questions... I'm still fairly new to this, so wanted to get some opinions from the experts
How can I actually tell if the exhaust is an f-sport? The one that I am looking at is a non-logo version, so it is not immediately clear. From the pictures I have seen, it looks exactly like an f-sport... but I am not sure how easy it would be to fake something such as this.
Also, the seller said it came on his car as a factory option... but then he goes on to say he also has the original shipping box. Is the exhaust that comes on the f-sport series the actual f-sport exhaust that is sold as an aftermarket part?
I noticed that some of the ads in the classifieds have part numbers etched into them, is that a good way to validate? I asked the seller about it and he said he didnt recall seeing any numbers and also he called lexus and they said no numbers were on the parts. He will check again later today...
Also... if anyone is in charlotte, NC and has the f-sport exhaust, would love to get a quick ride in your car so i can hear it. Youtube videos are great, but would love to hear it in person first
thanks!

Yes, there are 'replicas' out there.

Do you know if the exhaust that comes on the f-sport / sport package is the same as the "f-sport" sold by lexus/sewell? Don't want to pay this guy f-sport money and get a fancy stock exhaust...
thanks again

Also, is it accurate to say that the only difference between the new/old is the f-sport etching? No other modifications were made?
thanks again!

i own a 2012 f-sport does not come with the f-sport exhaust ( http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2012/1798.html ) unless you ask for the dealership to install the one linked above (and pay an arm and a leg for it).

ok... so just because you have the f-sport package, does not mean that you have f-sport exhaust that you linked to? interesting... what exhaust did it come with then, the stock 250/350 exhaust?

I think there are actually three systems that have been sold by dealers:
1. Lexus HKS system (now discontinued)
2. F-Sport exhaust that had no logo (discontinued?)
3. F-sport exhaust with logo
All three had different part numbers, so don't think they are the same... From reading a few threads, sounds like the lexus HKS system is a little quieter than #2 & #3. I searched the classified section for sales of the first exhaust, but all of the listings were edited to remove the listing details... Any idea what #1 has been selling for?
