Default Exhaust tips

These are the exhaust tips that we all need to complement the nice blue theme on the IS-F:

Gonna go out on a limb here and say that was still the stock exhaust with the swapped out blue tips to make it appear like a titanium system. Could be wrong, but did not sound aftermarket at all to me.

The tips are definately nice, but the exhaust doesn't sound nearly as nice as the JoeZ exhaust. I wonder what needs to be done to get the tips to look like that...Darshana S...

Thanks Darshana!!!

The Tips are from LEMS Japan.. They are the OEM Lexus IS-F tips that have been treated with some sort of translucent clear coat..
Sorta like black pearl finish on a set of chrome emblems.

I couldn't find anything on an Exhaust system on their site, just yet.

Comes in Blue & Black Finish.. for just $59,220 Yen or $637 USD for the pair.

I think that the black ones would complement the gunmetal wheels very nicely

Yes, those are nice too.

This setup they made for the IS-F is NOT agressive at all......

Thanks Joe for all the info that you provide to this community, you seem to have unlimited sources when talking about Lexus!

It doesn't look too hard to get the tips painted/treated that way, anyone know who can do it in the US?

Those have been discussed before. Also to everyone saying they are to much, they are really only about 200 more then what a set of normal oem ones cost. So in reality they arent that bad.

Or you forgo those rice looking tips and get your own stock tips treated to actually look like they are titanium. Like this.



It is around the same cost as the Lems ones but looks much better.
