This is just stupid to me. Just cause its for a Lexus it commands that price? You can find Full Complete Titanium catback exhausts with burnt tips for LESS than 'Ti tip covers'. This includes the Supra MKIV w/ 4" piping. And is very close in price to HKS Ti Racing exhaust(and most of HKS prices are on the high side). Makes absolutely no sense...other than you are just paying for the name, which to me isn't worth $1k mark up.

Not that it's any consolation but, yesterday, I read an article on the new Lotus Evora 400, a car that starts at $93k. Just so you know, the titanium exhaust option on that car will cost you $8k. Mind you, this is a series built car with all of the economies of scale that that implies and only a portion of the materials cost inherent with the IS-F's lengthy true dual set-up. Some of you may be a bit unrealistic thinking a 100% ti exhaust should, somehow, approximate stainless steel/aluminum exhaust prices.
