Default Tanabe fit in my car?

I'm purchasing a Tanabe exhaust, and was wondering if it would fit in my car. I'm thinking u stick it thru the ski pass? Does anyone know if it will fit. Thank you in advance.

Dude forget the box!!!!!!!! take it out of the box and put the exhaust itself in the trunk, it will fit.

I actually got the OEM exhaust into my back seat. It was hard to get in and out and I wouldn't recommend doing it (I scratched the leather behind the driver's seat even with the use of a lot of towels). Never again.

I purchased the Tanabe exhaust and my F-Sport Performance Air Intake from Bob Baker Lexus in El Cajon. I normally go to Carlsbad Lexus but the people at Bob Baker Lexus really are easy to work with and treat you right.

Here is the guy that helped me:
EDGAR LAROSA

www.bakerlexus.com

You can e-mail him and he will quote you directly. I don't have the price I paid with me at work right now.

Isn't the F-Sport exhaust smaller than Tanabe? I think F-sport doesn't come with the long pipe but Tanabe does. Am I right?

cover your exhaust with plastic bags and throw them in the back seats and the trunks, if you can, leave the rear window opens so you have more space..lol

The Lexus dealer can actually order an aftermarket exhaust for you? I didn't realize they can do that. I went to Ontario Lexus and the parts guy there said that they only stock the OEM Lexus performance exhaust.

Hope you didn't end up paying too much for it there.
