From what I know the exhaust will fit for both the AWD and RWD, but give your local Lexus parts department a call and verify that the OEM exhaust has the same part # for AWD and RWD.

The Tanabe Medallion Touring exhaust is exactly the same for both the IS250 and the IS350, so that is good. There is a discrepancy on that website where you can look up the applications. The year states 06-06? Shouldn't it be 06-07? Because they should fit on the 2007 models IS right?

I and may others have purchased your Medalion exhaust. The issue we have is that the left side is not even with the right side. Any fixes? Please advise.

I was wondering the same and even made a thread (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=317806) about this asking for others' input about it. Seems a fair amount of people have this issue, and this is a relatively small sample of the owners on here who have this exhaust.

This can be due to various reasons. Some owners have been saying even their OEM exhaust is like that and believe it is the rubber hanger that is causing the left side to be lower. We haven't had any problems with the exhaust nor has anyone called in for a complaint. When we had R&D to test fit this exhaust, there were no visual problems.

Same issue here on my fabulous... i guess it's a general problem with fitting aftermarket systems, i am thinking of using different rubber hangers on each side until i get it right.

My stock exhaust fit even so I don't think it is rubber hanger problem. There are PLENTY of people that have this issue. Is there an email address or direct number all the members of Club Lexus and My IS that purchased this exhaust and have this problem can contact you to document this issue? It does exist with a big percentage of owners. Just check out the message boards or do a search. Please advise.

I do understand many have had a problem with the left hanging lower than the right, but for the record, mine is even, with no need for adjustment. Just installed as following directions. Maybe just lucky, but no problem.
