Well to be honest, I am thinking of saving up now and geting coil overs. I know how sick it looked but life goes on, and my wife is happy cause we can actually take her girlfriends in the car with us now, and she loves showing my car off to them

I'm wondering why it wouldn't be a great idea to wait for a few more months to get the true Full catback Tanabe exhaust for pretty much the same $$ later on???

Is there any numbers on what type of performance gains this exhaust gives? HP/TQ etc.

Thanks!

There will be no full true catback for the IS350, as there are no flanges at the end of the catalytic converter--

This means, to have a true catback, you would have to cut and weld your factory exhaust, and you will not be able to return your car back to factory condition if needed. Unfortunately, producing a part that permanently modifies the vehicle is against our policy as an OEM grade manufacturer.

In the future, there may be smaller shops that will produce replacement front pipe kits, but for now the resonator back exhaust is putting down very good numbers, without risk of affecting emissions or becoming extremely loud.

We strongly advise and recommend going through the forum vendors for this high demand system, as the vendors on this forum have typically had "first dibs" on all of the new arrivals.

Currently, there are many IS350, IS350 Sport, IS250 and IS250AWD running the NF210 (TNF113) which provides a more conservative .8 - 1.3" drop depending on the model and trim of vehicle, and also some adventurous drivers using the DF210 for 06 GS (TDF112) which has a much more aggressive drop of nearly 2". There are a multitude of threads that exist for these springs, so we do recommend using the search feature of the forum for additional information/pictures/wheel sizing recommendations.

How about a single sided exhaust? Just go with a slightly larger OD pipe from the mid-pipe flange all the way back to either side. That would drop the weight from about 40 lbs to less than ~10 lbs. If you could make it as quiet as your existing exhaust, I would be the first on waiting list.
