Question Slanted Quad tips on 2017 IS3

Hello eveyone! I recently purchased a 2017 IS300 Fsport and absolutly love the look of the semi vertical quad exhaust tips like what the ISF or GSF have. Does anyone have pictures of these tips on the stock diffuser? I know TOMS makes a diffuser but im honestly not looking to spend THAT type of money. Even if you had to modify your stock diffuser or purchased an alternative diffuser I am interested. I also would not mind custom tips to be welded at a local exhaust shop. Any pictures or links would be greatly appreciated

My pleasure, bud. Actually got them from a fellow CL member and it really turned out awesome and sounds bad *** - deep growl and cabin drone free.

Anyway, it's not a direct fit - had to cut the neck area near the flange and then rotate. It's really just the holes alignment of the midpipe and axle flanges. It's a simple cut, rotate, align and re-weld.

Btw, I saw some posts about the RC350 version of this axleback fits perfectly without any mod, but the tips will not be slanted.

You might also want to consider the Invidia RC300/350 axle back. Looks like it has the slanted tips and its fit for the RC300/RC350 which requires no modification to fit IS300/IS350. Someone is selling a set on the marketplace: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/market/939517

Doing this to a stock bumper/diffuser and making it look clean could be done easy enough but would take some precision - I do think though personally if you did it to the OEM body, it wouldn't look ... as right, but that's just my opinion. I've seen these done for sure but not on the OEM body, the only one recently I saw was on a 2GIS which had the IS-F exhaust fabbed to it.

Edit: Yes, the RCF exhaust could work, I guess I still think it would require some 'work' to make it look clean, but just my opinion.
