Default What kind of exhaust is this

I've been watching people chatting about changing out exhaust tips and took a look under my car that I purchase a few months ago. Upon closure inspection, I noticed that I didn't have what appears to be the stock exhaust.

Could anyone identify my exhaust based on the canister shown in the picture?

Could be, might actually be the lexus HKS which is quite rare actually. But I dont know much about the hks/lexus/fsport exhaust someone else might be able to confirm.

Looks like the Lexus HKS (dual sport exhaust)...or I guess it could be the F- sport. They look pretty much identical, but I think the F-sport has some kind of stamp on the tips? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, cuz I'm not really sure.

The best way to check to see if it is one of these exhausts is to check for the stamped part number either on the "Y-pipe" (where it connects to the mid pipe) or the muffler pipes themselves.

The Lexus HKS exhaust (P/N# PT916-53060)

Lexus F-sport exhaust (P/N# PTR08-53090)

^Only the more recent F-Sport exhausts have had the stamp...

.... if its so quiet that you JUST noticed you don't have a stock exhaust its probably the "lexus HKS"

The lexus HKS one of the quitter/tamer exhausts out there...

Looks like my exhaust. Yeah it could be either one but if it's not too loud it's definitely Lexus HKS. You hit a jack pot.

Looks like HKS or F-Sport (pre engraving) to me.
You should be able to tell the difference by the sound. F-Sport is louder than HKS, but that doesn't help if you don't know what either sounds like lol.

Thanks guys! I figured it wasn't stock. No, there isn't stamp on it which is why I was asking.

The exhaust has a nice deep tone and is slightly louder, but doesn't have a lot of drone. I'll look for a serial number on it that might assist in identification.

If they have "F-SPORT" logo on the tip, you know what is it. If it don't, it's Lexus HKS exhaust.
In your pix, 90% lexus HKS exhaust

^^ That's not accurate... As previously stated... The stamped F-Sport logo was only added around the last 1-2 years.

You WILL find the part numbers etched into the piping somewhere..

It could easily be an early version of the F-Sport Exhaust or the Lexus HKS Exhasut..

The good news for you is that they were both part of the Lexus USA Accessory catalog a few years back.!!

Also, many of the Lexus HKS Exhausts were installed at the port here in the US and it was printed on the Window Sticker too.

+1 for Lexus HKS or F-Sport (without the engraving). Aside from the noise level, another way to tell the difference is that if the right exhaust tip gets dirty a lot faster than the left, it's probably an F-Sport.

It's the The Lexus HKS exhaust (P/N# PT916-53060). I did a visual and confirmed.

Huge thanks to everyone for the help. I wouldn't have known what to search for to find out. Plus, the exhaust tubing PN location wasn't something I knew about.

I really love the way this cars sounds with this exhaust and the F-Sport intake box, filter and tube. It sounds even better because there's no need to upgrade the exhaust now.
