i have a feeling that the unequal length was the easiest way to go for adding cats. i wonder if there's enough room for equal plus cats. the set up already looks "cluttered."

damn...that's wack! but thanks for the response. I only say that because even they have more options for exhausts at the moment.

Hangers placement is different, but I'm pretty sure the piping itself will be the same (maybe smaller in diameter though). RCF axleback was used as a starting point with modified hangers by RR Racing if I'm not mistaken. Midpipe won't fit though.

cp2 - keep in mind the IS 350 has been out for longer and has more units sold so the market share is quite large. I am confident more will be available for the IS 500 in the years to come.

understood on the mid pipe. if the hangars are the only difference, I may looking to getting from the RCF systems.

you're correct. I'd like to believe there will be more options available in the future, but with some input from some of my favorite companies (ie Joe Z and HKS) stating that they don't have any plans to make a system...then it just sucks. maybe if more units are made, their decisions may change...I can only hope

^^ IS500 will be available in Japan for 2023, that'll probably stir up some more interest from japanese aftermarket parts makers...

I was browsing through GS F exhaust options and saw like 10 different ones! Anyone think the IS will eventually get the same support?

I've been really tempted to order the Apexi midpipe and axle back, just been really wanting more rumble lately.

GTHAUS, Apexi, Toms is probably the most popular for the GSF. We should see the same support for them.
