Carson Lexus recently had a group buy for the Tanabe Exhaust. It ended as of May 22nd. Apparently some are on backorder. If Carson Lexus is sold out, there are a few dealers in the SoCal area that have the same exhaust for sale, but I think its a bit more. The real killer of course is the sales tax.

I recieved mine yesterday and installed it same day. And Wow, the aesthetic improvement alone is worth the money. But the sound is great too. Although the sound, for some reason, dies out above 4-5 rpm....
I can definitely feel more midrange power.

That's odd. I would think it should be more on the quiet side in the lower rpms and gain decibals the higher the rpms climb. Def need some sound clips and maybe a dyno posted on this.

engine tone might be louder than the exhaust tone at those rpms hence why you cant hear it. My current car is like that

I can confirm this. At low rpm you get a good low humming sound but it gradually decreases above 4k which I like coz I don't want the sound blasting too loud at higher rpms.

I wish I could but I was just lucky that Tanabe used my car as a demo. Might wanna try calling Bob Baker Lexus @ 619-440-5398 and look for Ed. Maybe they have it in stock. Good luck.

Hummm... I just looked at the pics and listend to the sounds...

I like the way it looks but I'm a bit dissappointed. I was hoping it would sound more agressive. I'm almost ashamed to say this but I was hoping it would have sounded like the G35.
