Wow. So tempting! I like my midpipe sound but I wouldn’t mind a little more. Afraid I’d get tired of the extra sound at some point though. Easy switch back to OEM, but $700 down the drain would be a bummer. Is that always the price “on sale” or are they really selling those marked down right now?

Exhaust looks and sounds great. As you were able to make the Invidia axle back system work, did you also have to use a 3” flanged adapter like @Civib2 had to add to make the full cat back Invidia system fit?

i reused the oem gaskets no modifications were required to make this fit. Bot off bolt on.

good to know IS350 has the same axle back configuration. I wonder if scuffing and painting wiht high heat paint would stick to reduce the blink factor (minus the tips)

there's muffler delete kits for RC350 2015+ and they say it doesn't fit the RC-F. But we know many that have used RC-F exhaust without issue on the IS350. I wonder what kind of minimal differences are making them say it's not compatible.

if it fits an rc350 or rcf it will fit the is500 but only the axleback. The midpipe off the rcf is different .

yeah. I realized many have already demonstrated that the mid-pipe is longer, but axleback's all seem to be interchangable between RC's , RC-F and IS500. in some cases tip style might be the only issue for cutouts.

Reached out to Ark to see timing on their exhaust. Sounds like we’ll be waiting to at least November

Can I get retroactive sorta or a credit maybe?. I ordered my bazooka system three or so weeks ago. Any idea how much longer? No worries! Just curious.
