Default F sport package: upgraded exhaust and intake

Hi all, this may be a silly >? but it am new to Lexus and the SEARCH on this has confused me more:

for the 2014 F Sport IS350 why is everyone awaiting the Fsport Intake and Exhaust? Doesnt the F Sport package already come with upgraded intake and exhaust?

i am sure for the intake, just cut a slit/hole on side like the 2nd gen DIY and i am guessing the midpipe straighpipes give the best sound before getting into to drone region

F Sport package is $3600. The F Sport intake is basically the same as the JoeZ intake tube for $125

Nice thing is you can today get a Magnaflow axel-back bolt-on system for a fairly cheap $900 or if you want to spend a few bucks less, do what I did and you'll get a great sound, some extra pep and for a low cost:

If you don't like this, there will be plenty more exhausts (axel or cat-back) coming out over the next few months my guesstimate around $1200-1800. I know Joe Z's will sound amazing based on some teasers out there.

Oh and I also got the Takeda Intake for around 200$ which is fantastic.

i would like to see what borla does....i had the multicore on my C6 Vette and 335i and loved it....gived different engines on both but i went through lots of iterations on exhaust from Magnaflow and and settled on borla multicore

i am getting older and not a big fan of interior drone

I was also worried about drone but it is 99% non-existent. The IS is a very well sound-insulated car, plus I still have the stock resonator. If I put in a straight pipe or performance resonator I bet the drone will be there.

the f sport is 4 gz on the 250 ....8 Gz on the 350.....IMO they should just discontinue the 250 or put a i4 turbo as the 250 is has the most mismatched drivetrain....a scooter engine and 6 speed 1980s technology
anyway...8gz f sport should have the 100 dolllar f sport intake box and whatever price exhaust already included

To be honest, the f sport package is lacking plenty of product. I would expect f sport intake and exhaust.

I still got the f sport anyway

Yea man its the nature of the beast. But look into other exhaust systems for your car. Joe Z makes an amazing system.
