Default IS 300 japan trd exhaust

Is 300 Japan TRD exhaust has a alittle shorter tip then the us, but still a bad *** exhaust. I am asking 375.00 buyer pays shipping. That is a killer price

How does this exhaust compare to the L-Tuned Exhaust? or is it closer to the stock IS exhaust?

It is a definite performance boost. It has a slightly shorter tip then the TRD USA. It is super clean and was on a car for testing to see how it performed versus the HKS. I can take some pictures but it may take a few days. It has a can that is aluminum, and the tip and face is stainless.

I've had the opportunity to see the exhaust and it looks nice. It is in good condition and is clean. Rhargro is a good guy to deal with. He will hook u up. I've bought springs and shocks from him and didn't have any problems.

There are three things I'm concerned with.
1)The sound it makes
2)The way it looks installed
3)If it's too short, which will cause it to scorch my bumper (as someone else said it what happens when an Altezza exhaust is put onto an IS, since the Altezza TRD exhaust is a bit shorter)

the sound will be low and deep, but still under 95dbs. the only reason that it will burn is becuase it is installed incorrectly. I have called TRD and asked if they new about this burning, and their tech person said this would be causde by shoddy install.

Humm okay. I wonder if I can get the dealership to install it for me.... just so that I can ***** to Lexus if they screw it up.
