Recently I bought the quad tip GThaus cat-back, does anyone know what diffuser is compatible with it or do I just have to cut the OEM diffuser to fit it?
Cool! Do you have the same exhaust? The is500 exhaust is diagonal shaped so would it fit these horizontal ones?
negative, I had the Takeda AFE one and went back to stock with quad tips, couldn't stand the drone. The Is500 diffuser is both vertically and horizontally bigger, it will fit.

Thanks man, do I just go to the closest Lexus dealer and buy an is500 oem diffuser from them? I have the part number as: 52108-53100. Or is there any other place that you can recommend to buy?

Check prices online in service parts tab, prices vary from dealership to dealership.
I found best pricing in these two dealerships overall when I look for OEM parts:

Thanks for the info! I found a drivable dealership with nice price and I can go pick it up so I don’t need to pay shipping.
I called them and they said that they are not sure if it will fit is350. I guess I’ll just buy it and try it out.

I'm guessing it is the same as the GTHaus exhaust they used for the "IS 600" back in SEMA 2022 which still uses the factory valence just with the Artisan Spirits rear diffuser.

Damn, so you're saying the takeda afe exhaust on your is350 has a lot of drone? I was considering this one because the mufflers still look pretty big, and on the YouTube clips it sounds a bit like the OEM F sport exhaust

The drone at 75/80 is horrible, around town it is very nice because you don't sit at that RPM and sounds great. I do 25-50% highway depending on the day of the week so it was a no go for me.
