Default Things to know about 2nd hand F sport Exhaust?

Also whats a fair price. Person selling for 1000.

Like any other exhaust, check out for dents, scraps, condition, etc

Depending on how many miles and condition, $1000 for a used f-sport seems high to me. I picked up a used one for around $800 awhile back.

Good luck.

F Sport is even louder. M2 is actually one of the quietest.

there 2 versions of the F-sport exhaust.

Lexus HKS F-sport Exhaust "1st version"
- "F-sport" not embedded on exhaust tips
- Not as loud

Lexus F-sport Exhaust "2nd version"
- "F-sport" embedded on exhaust tips
- passenger side canister is a straight pipe, makes it much louder than the first version

I have the 2nd version and it is pretty loud and does drone at lower rpm's. It is pretty loud when traveling up hill at 25mph-30mph and the drone is very noticeable. It is pretty quiet on the highway, a little to no drone at all. But that is just my opinion.

Got it for 850 cad its the second version. Sat in it loved how it sounded at low rpm. I can keep a convo and it wasn't overly loud till about low 3k. My m2 exhaust was ****ing awful between 2 - 3k. Felt embarassed to drive it. Drone on highway gave me an headache when i had to drive 2 hours both ways for a hike. But then again you pay for what you get, it worth 2 - 300 for sure. Good condition no rust, well kept never used in winter.

Cheapest one I could find new on Ebay is 1425 and it's over 1700 on Sewell. Can't seem to find a used one in S. Cali for sale. What's the next best thing compared to original F-Sport?

Sewellparts.com sells it for $1330.89 with the Club Lexus discount. Ground shipping to SoCal is around $43.07. Total cost should be around $1373.96.

Other exhaust to consider
-Tanabe Medalion Exhaust
-Greddy SE exhaust
-Joe Z exhaust

How are you able to tell which version of the F-sport exhaust you have?

The first gens have no F-Sport markings on them.
The second gens have the side F-Sport markings.

I do believe they look exactly the same though (minus the markings of course)
