Hello,

New to the forum and have been trying to search with somewhat minimal luck.

I’d like to have a very minor cosmetic improvement (maybe a LITTLE) sound to my 2016 IS 350 F Sport.

My plan is to purchase an OEM ‘17 rear valance so I can fit quad tips. Ordering from https://www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/5210853060. I’m told this is a direct fit on the 2016.

Next is finding a clean OEM-like quad tip setup. This is where I’m a little stumped. Are the mufflers on the ‘16 the same as the ‘17? Thinking I can find a bolt on ‘17 muffler with quad tips (nothing too loud).

Or, I’m wondering if I can just find tips that replace the ‘16 rolled tips to quad tips.

When I say factory look I mean something like rolled tips, nothing too crazy (blued, blacked out, etc.)

Any help is greatly appreciated! Aloha.

I have a 2014 IS and updated the rear diffuser to the 2017+ look. I do have an aftermarket exhaust on my too. I had new 3" quad tips welded on by a muffler shop. You can have the quad tips welded on to the stock exhaust you already have on the car.

 

what's the shipping looking like from amayama?

 

Still waiting on them to confirm. Might be substantially delayed due to Covid.

Anyone have any recommendations on direct replacement mufflers that would provide a little bit of added sound to the car?

thanks again

Perfect thread! Just ordered the Tanabe Quad tip Axel back system. Now just need the diffuser.

 

that's a great looking exhaust, where did you get it from? I thought they were on back order everywhere.

 

Found it on Autohance.com and it was the cheapest option, $816 on sale. I’m in Hawaii so it came out to $1,000 shipped...which isn’t too bad I guess.

I just searched by part number (T70181A) on google and it seemed to be the most effective method as many places have it labeled as fitting RC only and vice versa despite it being the same product and fitting the IS too.
