anybody got pictures or clip of an RC axle back installed on their IS? i want to hear how they sound like lol. is it the same as regular RC? For those doing custom quad tips, why don't you just get an RC350s axle back instead of welding a tip. just wondering.

This!
This guy is onto something and I don't know why anybody else hasn't noticed/thought the same.
I've been pondering since the RC came out but I'm not looking for quad look at the moment

I'm digging into quad tip looks and probably I can answer your question. In my case, I already have JoeZ and love the sound so welding quad tip is the only option. And it is cheaper, easier than sell current exhaust and get a new one. Plus I am not sure if JoeZ makes RC350 quad tip, at least I do not know that.

Here's the key piece of information.
RC350 shares same Fsport Axleback Exhaust part number as the IS250/350
Awesome. That basically tells us YES it should fit! I sent Tanabe an email about compatibility (regardless of diffuser fitment), will share news if they reply.
I'm sort of surprised the tube lengths are the same considering the RC wheelbase is 3" shorter than IS. Guess that is from midpipe forward? But this is awesome news.

I don't think tanabe will be able to confirm yes. They are probably going to say no since it's not a true bolt on to stock without modification (rear diffuser needs to be changed)
This is something someone from our community will just have to take one for the team and try and share the knowledge if it lines up to the aftermarket diffusers (TRD, skipper, maintain, Rowen etc) we have available currently.
My guess is yes or it will be close.
The RC is a hybrid of a 3IS, 4GS and IS- convertible. It's literally a Frankenstein car with not a lot of re-engineering done to it. They recycled engineering
another thing, soon we may be seeing quad exhaust for the 2017+ IS refresh.
Lexus is using the RC350 exhuast tip with new diffuser design.
There may be chance that companies like Tanabe start listing same part numbers for the IS refresh to the RC.

I would retrofit that diffuser and exhaust tips in a heart beat. I wonder if that's all it is...
