Default Borla Exhaust Info

Maybe it's common knowledge in the forum that RC F exhaust components are swappable, but I wanted to hear the official line about an IS 500 exhaust. I reached out to Borla corporate to see if there was any release date or information about a cat-back exhaust specifically for the IS 500. Here is the reply:

Thank you for reaching out to request this system, we have noticed significant interest in a Cat-Back form the IS 500 and we may release a system early next year! I have added you to the announcement list for the IS 500 so we can let you know if a system is ever available. I am also saving your contact info so I can let you know when we commit to making a system for your car!
If you are interested, let them know! I hope that more emails from interested owners here might spark the development cycle a little. One can hope...

Interesting, there's already a borla prototype out there. Maybe they're talking about production and logistics.

According to sources, they will have an axleback version, and you can also add a midpipe to that as well, if you like.
