thanks for the advice brother, I said no modding to see reactions and looks like I hit bulls eye, Cl is infected with the bug! 
would you mind posting pics of your exhuast ?
the marriage is holding me back a bit but who knows maybe itll be like with my MB, said the same thing and 3 months later I was a CF lip, CF spoiler, Carlsson's, spacers, full led, resonator secondary cats delete, u get where I am going with this

Congrats on your new car. I got my IS350 right after Thanksgiving. And I too decided "no modding."
(BTW, my new f-sport exhaust from Sewell Lexus should be arriving any day now. The modding thing starts as just a little cough, then proceeds to a "bug," then it's a full-on fever. I held out for about a month. Good luck with that.)

Just a quick word of advice - RWD and 300 horsepower can get you into trouble with traction control off if you're not used to it.
Traction control off will get you the best straight line acceleration and (therefore) is more fun (traction control on will bog down the car down slightly from 0 under WOT), but be sure to get sufficiently accustomed to the car before you drive around with traction control off too much.
Fortunately you can turn traction control on and off simply by holding the trac button for 5 seconds while at a stop.
I got myself into a hairy situation or two in the first few months following my IS350 purchase driving around with traction control off, often under dry conditions, and it was because my prior long term vehicle didn't have anywhere near the powerful acceleration of the IS350.
