As long as it is not a straight through exhaust, you'll be fine. Even if you did a muffler delete, I think you'd be fine as long as your car isn't heavily modded "looking" and running the stock tips. But you're getting revved on, which part of the GTA is this?

I'd look into the F Sport accessory exhaust. From that I gather, they are not officially available through Lexus Canada, but you can always order them off ebay or even have them sent to a post office box in Niagara Falls. There are even courier companies that will pick it up and take care of the customs/duties/taxes for you for less than it would cost you in gas (and time) to cross the border.

Downtown Toronto bro, Lakeshore East, Reason i asked because i got pulled over with my TRD Muffler on my Toyota Solara well it was 12-14 years ago, Cop said it was too loud, i told him Sir it's TRD "Toyota Racing Development" he respond well It's a Racing Muffler lol he then asked me to fix with a Fixed ticket or can go to court, friends i know, some got pulled over with ticket some don't, they told me depend on the Cops, my car is all stock, i'm aged now i don't wanna do too much, i just want little noise.

I don't wanna spend too much because i just want NOISE that's all, they have 1 F-sport for 1.400$ USD on eBay, ARK 2.200$, and 1k something for the rest like Magnaflow Corsa Invidia etc. I know for sure muffler won't gain any Horsepower without Header like PPE one so there is 1 cheap exhaust Made in Taiwai name "Tsudo that fit our IS350 Fsport" costs around 600$ USD around 700$ CAD Shipped, they looked nice with burnt tips, what do you think of Tsudo Exhaust bro ? do you know any local shop in GTA ?

If you have one of those Honda Civic 'fart can' exhaust with giant tips on it then the cops will notice and hassle you.

With any of the aftermarket cat backs or even axlebacks I doubt they would say anything. They aren't loud enough.

LOL fart can hahahaha ya i remember those days of Civic, they were truly annoying like those Harley Davidson bikes.

I don't go for power i just like a little noise like OEM F sport exhaust, thats enough and i refer OEM if i could, i don't wanna spend ARK and those that costs 3k$ CAD, these things gains nothing without Turbo or Supercharge, there is no point to spend 3k$ for 5-7HP you know what i mean !

When you said you get revved on a lot by mustangs and BMWs, I thought you were going to say Vaughan. It seems that is where all the stupid stuff usually happens around the GTA. Like everyone said, you're going to be fine. If all you want is loud, maybe an electric muffler bypass on the stock exhaust so you open it up when you feel like it?

Ya lol but i like it though, they probably wants to tell me Hey dude you got a nice car get that thing louder ! in other word they wanted to race or something, there an FRS or BRZ got impounded by York Regional Police he's 18 years old.

I talked to JChoi on the phone, he has OEM Fsport for sale but the Tip has been modded to Dual Tip which won't fit our OEM Diffuser, if i get it i'll have to either mod to single tip or get another Diffuser which i don't like, another thing, he lost his F-sport OEM Tips somewhere he needs to find them, i really need that Fsport tip so i can deal with the Cops, in other word ill looking at Tsudo Exhaust it sounds nice with low $price. To be honest i personally hate Dual Tips ! when he said Quad Tip i thought he meant 2017 IS tip lol my bad English

I drove all around the GTA including Woodbridge for the last 17 years with medium to loud exhausts. In everything from Hondas to Subarus and Mustangs. I never go pulled over or harassed for exhaust (or any other reason).
It has more to do with the way your driving then the actual volume of the exhaust. Even with a LOUD exhaust, if your accelerate gently and shift early you will be o.k. Don't stomp on the gas at every stop.

I've looked around and I can't find my F Sport Tips.

Cops won't harrass you if whether you have FSport tips or not. Fsport isn't loud enough for them to pull you over for a un-necessary noise ticket. I've drove around the f Sport exhaust ever since I got the car and no tickets for it... Tickets for other things but not the Exhaust.

Personally, I think cops are looking for Civics or cars with fart-cans and stuff like that. Besides, my Mazdaspeed3 was muffler deleted and once a cop pulled beside me (Peel Police) and I just got to speed slowly and gently, shifting at low RPMs. He didn't bother me... didn't even look. I drove that for 4 years without any issues

But then again, some cops can really hate loud exhausts, maybe even having a bad day...

YOu're right. some cops having bad day they just stops you to release their madness, back then i had to go to Toyota Dealership to get all the paper works to prove my car is TRD package from Factory, back in 1999-2000 year the TRD Toyota Solara was expensive, i'm always a Luxury Fan, i bought Luxury package and upgraded to TRD, Toyota Dealership told me because of that maybe he thought your muffler is aftermarket until i brought paper works to the Police Station, ticket discarded.

Thanks everyone for your great input, i drive like an old man but sometimes i drive like Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift.
