Probably the best thing is to call your local Lexus dealership parts department and see if they will take the coupon or discount to match another dealership/reseller. My local Lexus dealer matched a price on a part from Bell Lexus, I paid for it over the phone and then picked it up. You may be able to do the same thing with the F-Sport Exhaust and save that insane shipping price
EDIT
I see you were way ahead of me!!
Well, we cant use our work FedEx but I looked up the cost even for two day shipping just to see how bad the screwing is and its $130 for larger business vs little old me at $340. What a racket shipping has become!!
My stocks are clearly in the wrong places! -sigh-
OK - that's enough on that topic and shame on them for wanting $400 - 360 to ship stuff.

Yeah, that totally sucks. What I meant was buy it from your local dealership by trying to get them to price match, and then pick it up to save being screwed (more like reamed!) on shipping costs!
I totally blame @2013FSport for my impulse purchase today!.....but let me backtrack first.....I bought a 2006 IS350 about a year and a half ago for a fun weekend car......I slowly improved it with new coilovers, new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires, an updated ISF front end and other goodies (Has about 95,000 miles on it).......I recently gave it to my son for his 16th birthday and he loves it even though he still just has his learners permit......I found this place back then when I first bought the 2006 IS and always admired the USB IS of @2013FSport so I started looking for one back in July when I knew I'd be losing my weekend car to my son because I was giving it to him......anyway, long story short, I bought one sight unseen from a small dealer in New Mexico and had is shipped to me......I got it and immediately replaced the leaky waterpump and installed new Megan EZ street coilovers and did lots of maintenance items includes new front rotors and brakes and all fluid services (It has about 138,000 miles on it)......then took it to the body shop to have the hood, front bumper and adjoining areas repainted and had the roof painted gloss black and had the grill blacked out and the headlights buffed out.........the paint and body work turned out great!!......but then I had a 2 stage paint correction done....which made it pop big time!!......and I thought I was done......BUT NO.....I came on here and starting reading THIS thread and got the urge to find the F-Sport exhaust (PTR04-53091).....anyway, found it online at Longo Lexus for $1,414.82...Search Results | Longo Lexus..and was going to drive about 50 miles to pick it up.......but instead, I called my local dealer (South County Lexus in Mission Viejo, CA)......they quoted me the retail price of $1,599.00......I asked them to price match Longo Lexus ($1,414.82) which they surprising did......so I don't have to drive 50 miles to pick it up AND the sales tax here is 7.75% vesus 10.25% where Longo Lexus is......so it is a win/win and they're 5 miles away ....I pick up the exhaust tomorrow and will have it installed tomorrow afternoon......I soooooo jazzed!
Now, I need to stop following this guy and this forum cuz I'll be broke soon!! LOL my sons 2006 IS350 my 2012 IS350......after the paint correction my 2012 IS350......before the paint correction
You'll definitely love the difference the exhaust will make to your daily driving. This video from The Straight Pipes is a great representation of the F-Sport exhaust (especially at the 0:36 mark) and is what persuaded me to buy mine several years back:
Haha! You're so welcome! Let's all deflate our wallet together!
I was only messing with you!...you have a sweet ride and it's cool that a place like this is so helpful (and costly!..LOL).....time for a lil road trip for me to enjoy the sweet sound!

Those are looking good @FSportBill!!! Gosh my first car was $100 bucks and I had to clean the chicken sh|ts out of it! I sure learned how to wrench though! Congratulations on the purchase! You'll likely beat me to the install but while under there the the plan is to swap the diff and get the figs poly bushings installed so that when OS Giken is ready, its a quick drop in.
After all the fires this summer, the paint took a hit on the shine but I'll get it done again this spring i hope!
After being covered in ash for month...
Haha! You're so welcome! Let's all deflate our wallet together!
Not an actual subliminal message...
...that's sooo bad a$$.....I have to recover from this $1,500 purchase before I do anything else!!......and yes my son is a bit spoiled but he's a great well behaved young man and stays out of trouble and gets A's and B's in High school......so why not!!......and, both of the cars have Morimoto XB led fog lights.....love em!
Well congrats bro! I see your having a very early Merry Christmas!! Enjoy (without the MT of course!)
Two years in a row. Sadly the plague kept me out the shop I had lined up (son at a Yoda dealership), so it didn't get installed.
And the crusty boneyard donor diff had metal in it so, the spool above must go into my 2013 unit in the car.
ok, had the exhaust installed today.....and DAHMN!....sounds sweeeeet!!.....I took a 15 sec video.....here's the link to my IG
Yes, your paint details is looking Great! Love a good reflection!
So, are those replacement emblems or p-dip? I love the black chrome look, but haven't went looking too hard for them.
Let's do an experiment! Is this second image a clickable link to your video?

Hey @FSportBill that is a beauty! Man I just got a raise and a bonus and I want to blow it on an F-Sport exhaust! Unfortunately not going to happen this year. My wife already has plans for it LOL. BTW, When I'm on the same page as your post, everything I click takes me to your instagram page. Even trying to post a reply. I had to go back to page 4 so I could post this. Is this happening to everyone or just me?
