Default Used F Sport Exhaust, worth it?

Hi all,

very excited to install an F Sport Exhaust however I got 2 options.
1) used 8,000km exhaust
2) used few km exhaust


would it be worth to go with the 8,000km to save a couple of hundred bucks? Like 200$

I have no experience with Exhausts so I don't have a clue as to if there are cons in getting one with thousands more KMs (break-in period?)

thanks for the help peeps

I bought mine used 2000 miles from another clublexus mem. Buying used is no problem, just check for any scratches or dents.

I'd go full exhaust. I've had axle backs and they improve sound but no increase is power.

thanks man, but i did check on a multitude of threads regarding this and i'm looking for an Axleback for warranty reasons, only had the IS for 3months haha.

I'll go full exhaust later, plus it's much cheaper

Absolutely worth it. That's what I did and saved over half from dealer. You don't see most of the exhaust anyways.

True that you save alot more money. A brand new fsport is $1600 retail from dealers. And maybe $1200 from 3rd party sites. Which is still overpriced for what it is. But it is OEM so you know quality is there.

I got mine for $600.
