Javy, judging by your pictures, the sway bar looks to be around 25-28mm.

(I was holding my credit card up against it. You took pretty close to real life-size pictures)

PROPS!

maybe this has been asked, but is the exhaust full cat back system? I cannot really tell by the pictures and will the shocks and springs be sold seperately or as a kit?

due to the location of the flange on the exhaust system, there can be only a resonator back system, due to the fact there are no flanges after the cat and only one after the resonator. A cat back system for this car would not be bolt on and would require cutting and welding

You don't lose your warranty for using non-lexus parts unless the repair is directly due to the non-lexus part itself.

it seems pretty unlikely an inert plastic box and a metal tube would cause a warranty repair issue.

And even if it did you STILL don't lose the warranty on any other part of the car.

I'll check today whether it's a full cat back system or not. I can't believe I haven't checked already...

ALL of these items keep the factory warranty in tact.

Pricing hasn't been announced for any of these items yet.

Lol, yeah, maybe it's just that side of my brain hoping for too much.

Once Again Very Nice pics Javier - Thank You !!

Too bad on the Grill.. They really should consider it!

They definitely re-designed the Air Box and it looks like it might have two snorkels now...?
... when looking at the front of the display air box.

You gotta get that side engine cover off the car and see whats inside the air box and if there is an additional snorkel or if it just remains as a opening in the front of box...
The Top cover of the box looks OEM (not changed) to me..

Maybe you will find an AFE / TRD Filter in the air box on the car??
or maybe just an OEM filter..

The inside of the pipe looks Very Well Designed & Very Familiar...

At least the "F Sport Intake" is NOT another Open Air Element Intake..

Javier... cut some small peices of regular paper, wrap around the bar(s) and then mark it with a pen...
You can then measure it later or when you get home..


Thanks for All the Great Photos you are brining us from SEMA..

Looking at your photos I can see the OEM resonator...

Definitely just a 3 piece axle-back / resonator back Exhaust System..

I Love the Toyota & Futaba stamps on the mufflers...

No additional snorkel - it's the IS-F intake that is a dual-intake system. I'll be sure to relay your message to Ryan.
