Exhausts!
Yea so ive just got my Lexus and joined the family =]
Ben looking around for mod ideas and will be doing the intake and maybe coilovers sometime next month.
However, ive been trying to get more info about different exhausts. Id like your opinions on which ones are great and what the sound quality is for an IS300 2018 F Sport model. Not a fan of raspy high pitched sounds. Want a good tone and not too much drone from what i heard on some. Got any recommendations? I can have atleast a ballpark and look up videos (hopefully) for the sound and see if id like it. So far ive heard of the ARK Grip exhaust, seen it everywhere as if its the only option. I did hear a Joe Z and so far that was what i really liked, but i cant find this one for sale, might have to keep digging.
Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks guys.

Ark and Apexi are your best options.
Let us know if we can get you a price.

I would do the downpipe with an apex midpipe for a good sound!

You have the AWD one, right? So V6?
If so, I tried the Remark axle back and it was LOUD. Droned like crazy around 2k RPM and sounded like a monster under throttle. I bought another one (I didn't care for the single wall burnt tips) and installed Vibrant Ultra Quiet resonators. Quite pleased with the outcome. A nice rumble at idle, pretty quiet while cruising, and sounds really good when you get on it. It does still drone a bit around that 2k mark, but it's not a loud drone. You just hear it. My wife complained immediately about the first setup. She hasn't said a word about the new setup.
I have a thread with a couple of pictures and videos of the second setup. The videos aren't great- but should give you an idea of the sound. If you want something that will turn heads, this isn't it. If you want something that's a bit louder than stock and lets you know when you're on the throttle, this is a great option.

I also have the RR racing intake tube with the F Sport air filter. Usually I hear the intake over the exhaust, honestly.
