IS350 F Sport Exhaust Questions
Looking to buy F Sport IS350 and I have a few questions about the exhaust.
1) Does the F Sport have a different exhaust than the Base? Does it sound any different?
2) I hear people commenting on a F-Sport Exhaust such as being listed here
http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2014/6353.html
Its titled as F Sport Exhaust. Does this mean that it is the included F Sport exhaust or is the labelling misleading?
3) I currently have a G35 Coupe and like the "Volume Level" it produces. If the F Sport doesnt have an audible exhaust like that, what options do you suggest that won't be louder than my current setup but still sporty.

Hey there,
I was at the Lexus (Its Your Move Event) at Angel Stadium this last Saturday and the guys from Lexus had the F Sport Exhaust in display on a IS 2014. I had them turn on the car and rev it up for me to hear the true sound. From what I heard its a low smooth sound. Can't compare to a Greddy, HKS or any other after market exhaust. He said that it would be out for sale online in October/ November to the public. I say if you want more of a smooth sound that won't wake up your neighbors when you pass by then F-Sport is the Exhaust for you. If you want more Horsepower and more sound then I would go with a aftermarket Exhaust like (Greddy, HKS, Magnaflow).

Welcome...
You will love the new 2014 IS350 F Sport...
1) No it does not (X2)
2) That link is from the "Coming Soon" 2014 F-Sport Accessory Exhaust System.
Which is basically developed by TRD USA for Lexus USA... MSRP was mentioned to be approx $1,800
3) Drive it stock first, then decide if you want to go the "Exhaust Upgrade" route..

When it does come out it will be a bolt on product?
I assume labor for this would be very minimal?
Any other recomendations ($1800 seems pricey?) for a cat-back bolt on product that would provide some inspired sound yet not going to get old on longer highway commutes?
I assume, No, but is there a way to adjust the volume of the "sound system" created exhaust? I read that the stereo actually amplifies the exhaust a bit and plays it through the speakers because the exhaust is so insulated and quite within the cabin?
Joe Z, what is your deal regarding exhausts? You are a rep of a company, or you have your own company for aftermarket applications?
Thanks again for all the help.
Thanks for the help.

Good Advice about the drive it stock first.

The Accessory Axle-Back system will be an easy direct bolt on product.
Can't comment on any other recommendations as honestly there are more than a few systems in development as we speak...
**There will be HIGHER priced systems & LOWER priced systems eventually.
**There will also be other selections for just Axle-Back systems and also Full CAT-back systems (louder for sure).
Never heard anything about stereo adjusting exhaust systems on a Lexus..
I would consider myself an avid enthusiast for Lexus Performance cars… I design and help R&D in creating high quality performance parts focusing on the IS lineup.. (Not my day job whatsoever, more like a way to give back to the Lexus community)
Other than that; I’m just an average Joe around here..

I know the use of "F Sport Factory" verses "F Sport Accessory Line" still confuses many people...
But just think of it has a Lexus USA in house aftermarket exhaust system..
