They look exactly the same but the f-sport its much louder, do a search on the performance forum, many people have stated that the f-sport is loud. The lexus hks is not as loud

Greddy, No exhaust sounds better! Not harsh, just enough and looks badass.

when it comes to hp gains, you could go with either, there isnt a significant difference between the two. when it comes to sound, f-sport is louder and more refined imo, but its my personal preference theres a couple clips on youtube. they dont give justice to how both exhausts sound in-person, but it at least lets you get an idea of what youre getting into

I have the Lexus Dual Sport Exhaust System by HKS, unfortunately i got this when I bought the car a year ago - they didn't have the F-sport Exhaush. And now I wish I have the F-Sport exhaust because I read that it's louder.

I know this is a dumb question, but does anyone know what the main difference is within the 2 exhaust systems and if there's anything I can do to make my Dual-Sport to sound like the F-Sport? All I want to know is how it is manufactured different and if there's a way I could change it to be the same.

And please don't comment if you're gonna tell me to buy an aftermarket HKS or Greddy or whatever that's louder than the F-sport because no offense, but that is not my interest in, so please understand - Just personal preference. Thanks!

Joe-Z i believe did a post showing the differences of each exhaust, showing pictures of the internal mufflers themselves which show different designs between the two exhausts to gain the sound they do. search the thread is around.

get a hi-power....i love mine every time i see it and hear it.

Thanks....i found the thread
it's
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=355699

i know a HKS Hi Power will sound very nice & loud, but I already own a Lexus HKS and I do love it because it doesn't create too much noise in the cabin. But at times I wish it sounds a little louder....and since I found out from that thread that the only difference btw the Lexus HKS and F-Sport (louder exhaust) is simply the Right canister...everything else (piping, etc) is the exact same.....wouldn't it be nice if we can get a hold of a F-Sport right canister or have some kinda or reversible modification then we can just pay 1/2 or 1/3 of the full price and we can do a simple bolt on whenever we feel like making it louder or quieter?

Reference: Thanks Joe for posting these pictures....
