Default Exhaust help

Howdy yall,
I'm really struggling to find a exhaust for my 2018 is300. I want a tasteful exhaust like the F Sport performance system. Does anybody know if this 2021-23 F Sport exhaust will fit on a 2018 awd is300? I currently have the stock diffuser on so that could be an issue too, but I can address that if needed

I have a 2017 is300 and also have been wanting the F sport axleback. The diffuser is no big deal, but my understanding is that the F sport axleback available at the moment is made to fit the 2021 and newer is’s. The tail pipes stick out a little too far and looks a bit odd. I guess one could have it modified to fit better but I’d want stainless welding if that was the route I took.

RWD or AWD? We have Ark Performance exhausts, Apexi, Revel, Borla, etc.

Had no idea such animal exists. Are you selling it ? How does the sound compare to the aftermarket F Sport axleback ? Reason I’m into the F Sport is because it is quiet.
What is the part number for that exhaust?
Thank you.

I live in Australia, I went to yahoo Japan and bought it, most of the Japanese axle backs has a nice low rumble and no drone, the noise and emission also is within legal parameters, at least here it is. The V6 will sound really nice, I have the turbocharged model and it sounds nice I hate loud drones. And I love quad tips only for this model.

Couldn’t find a sound clip on YouTube for it. Looking for it on Japanese websites I get the impression the part is discontinued.

I’m under the impression part number PTR03-00160 is the correct part for 2014-2016 IS F Sport exhaust. But it is listed for use on rwd RC models only. I’d like to confirm that is what I can use on my awd IS300.

the catch with the TRD exhaust is you need the TRD diffuser.. but your exhaust shop or some creativity will let you install it

heres an english site most likely located in the States im assuming, not sure.
