there is 2 all the way back on the exhaust.. the primaries.. you can barely see thim.. they are somewhat covered and lead up towards the engine..
then there are the two secondary cats that very visable and are inches apart.. they are right before the resonator

I guess the only real reason why you would want to mod the IS250 is if you have manual or need AWD, which isn't an option in the IS350.

I'm going to have to agree. $4000 more an you can get a nice hp/tq upgrade, while retaining OEM reliability and warranty. Can't beat that!!

i know this motor has more potential, and it comes down to the headers being the biggest draw back to the power of this car and the 350. also i would like to see how the F-sport air box turns out with the possibility of a second scoop and see what kind of gains is brought from that.
this is my opinion based upon the design of the current manifold and what jun-tw has shown for gains, just need a cheep alternative.

Is there anyway to substantially increase the power on this thing.. lol.
I love the AWD for what its worth but i was on my way home from the gym and a scion xB wanted to race and i didn't beat it by that much, and yesterday a integra schooled me ??? ... (be it that i don't have any of my parts on during the winter but still..)
Any one else have race experiences with their IS 250 feel free to share :O

The IS250 (AWD or not) is not meant to be fast or quick in any way. Its heavy and has pretty weak power for a V6. As someone said, the power/weight ratio is pretty weak.
The IS250 was made for people who want the styling and luxurious appointments for a great price, which makes the car a great value for what it is. It just leaves out the performance aspect. My friends looked at me like I was crazy when I got the IS250 and sold my EVO but I changed directions completely. If I wanted a fast car, I would have kept the EVO. I wanted a luxurious, smooth, beautiful looking car, and thats what I got.
On a side note, DOES someone make headers for this car currently?
