Default Got my wife the new 350

We traded my wife’s 2014 IS250 F Sport for the GSF V8 back in 2018 because she said the 250 lacked power no offense guys and gals. So she was driving my 2nd gen IS 350 for the meantime. She saw the 2019 IS350 F Sport with the redifined front bumper and triple beam headlight with Mark Levinson and liked the car. I got her the car she wanted. Her old 250 we purchased the F Sport muffler for it but is there any after market exhaust for the 2019. I’m considering to take off the fake tips for aftermarket exhaust. Do they sell aftermarket exhaust to fit behind the fake tips? Which route would be better install behind the fake tips or remove? Will the 2014-2016 aftermarket fit the 2017-2019?Thanks

You picked a great car!

All of the aftermarket exhausts I have seen will add quad tips but remove the muffler trim.

I created a post of quad exhausts available:

Most of them will also fit with the OEM 2017+ rear diffuser with muffler trim removed.

Tanabe Medalion Touring Dual Axel-Back Exhaust fit the 2019 IS350 F Sport without rubbing on the 2019 OEM diffuser? Also with quad tips will the car lose power? I have the tanabe on my GSF V8 and love it!

Tanabe is a great one. It fits the 2017+ diffuser. You will not lose power.

The F is mine. I consider it ours We kept the GSF she loves the F. She said too much HP for her. She didn’t want the 2014IS250 F sport anymore. We were waiting for 2017-2019 350 F sport with triple beam headlight with Nav and black seats and Mark Lavinson speakers. Finally we found one. They don’t make much of the 350 F Sport. The dealers carry about 60 IS300 and like 5 IS350 non F sport and F sport. It was hard to find the package she wanted.

Your car looks great! The muffler is made for the RC350 did you have to modify it to fit your IS for the 2017-2019? Is direct bolt on? Any drone in the cabin?

Hey SilvaIS350, all of the RC350 exhausts are direct bolt-ons for the IS. The part numbers on most sites will be the same as well. Meraki can answer all your questions!

0 modification, there is a decent amount of drone ONLY during the break in period. After that, it's minimal and only at like 2k rpm.
