IS 500 aftermarket exhausts

Outstanding, I was looking for something just slightly louder than stock and the resonated mid pipe sounds perfect. Everyone is claiming no drone and references the inside isn't much louder (like running sport mode with that cabin sound enhancer thing turned all the way up.).
I just need to push the button, anyone recommend a place to order? Meraki is out of stock

And confirmed mine was the “Apexi N1-X Evolution Extreme Midpipe Resonated Style for Lexus IS500(144-KT13)”.

He hooked me up with my borla exhaust, got me the best deal I could find and shipping was very fast. I had my doubts about this company, but Peter was super easy to work with, I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Here's another IS500 Exhaust option for you. We just started carrying the RES Titanium valvetronic exhaust for IS500. We have 2 or 3 sets in stock here at the shop. These took us around 2 months to get. This is one beautifully constructed system and very light. Total boxed up shipping weight is 64lb but has 2 thick boxes. We also integrated an extra O2 sensor bung for Wideband gauges. Piping is 2.5" Titanium with a 5" Titanium muffler and 3.5" clamp on tip. We retail at $3099.00 but we are offering a $150 coupon code ((IS500-RES1)) and you will also receive free shipping in the checkout screen. Free shipping alone is major on a 64lb box! Total price shipped will be $2949!

Pole Position
I’ve seen several instances reported and it’s usually centered around the gaskets. Either the wrong ones or not securely installed.

So I've had the borla exhaust for a week now, I've got maybe under 100 miles on it now, give or take. I have zero complaints. Cold start is alittle loud but it settles in pretty quickly. P*ssyooting getting up to 45mph is a little droney, but I wouldn't call it drone, just low rpm exhaust tones. But if youre accelerating somewhat moderatly, you dont get those exhaust tones. That goes away almost immediately once you hit 45 mph. My commute to work is mostly freeway, so im cruising at about 65 - 80 mph, the exhaust is not much louder than stock. Can easily have a conversation with the passenger no prob, even with the windows down. Parts of me is still considering an aftermarket midpipe, despite others reporting it being loud. I'd like to see more reviews or videos before decide.
Fitment is good. I do like that you can adjust the muffler fore and aft. The tips are a little large, I would have preferred an oval tip similar to stock. But I can live with it. I did have an issue with inlet pipe of the muffler, it was very very slightly flat which made inseritng the pipe that connects to the midpipe hard to insert. Not a huge deal, i worked around it. Likely an isolated issue.
Borla threw in a free hat and some stickers. Hat was pretty cheap looking, but it's free.
I went through https://www.peterscarparts.net/ He hooked it up. Shipping was very fast and Peter was easy to work with. He gave me the best deal I could find. Happy to answer any questions.
