Its almost identical to driving with the exhaust yourself

Good news people!! Ark just let me know that they expect their first shipment of the GRIP exhaust in early May. That's like two weeks away!!! They couldn't give me a price yet but I'll keep you all posted. =)

Which one???

I am trying to decide currently between an exhaust for my 350 FSport:

in no particular order:

- TRD Exhaust (actually found a good price)
- GtHaus...not sure which type or tip, concerned about drone as well as sounding like a fart can...
- Tommy Kaira, where are there videos of the sound on this thing???/
- NA FSport exhaust, sounds decent not sure about ascetics though...

Those are the ones I am considering any assistance would be TOTALLY welcomed and appreciated!!

F sport and the aesthetics are great and besides that "F Sport" logo engraved into it makes it even better!

Well went with the tommy kaira exhaust...I think I saw a LexFather post mentioning it doesn't sound the loudest, but it just looks so nice! Props to Aki at TK/Rowen for making it happen!

It was tough to make a decision as each exhaust seem to have a pro/con. I don't know...to each their own I guess.

I can't find anything on this exhaust. I saw one Lexus exhaust on their online store but the page is in Japanese. The tips were the three pieces of tubing welded together ... didn't look all that hot

If you don't mine how much did it cost you?

Hmm not sure which exhaust you were looking at. It's titanium with blued tips, real smooth looking. Axle back,so it's def not adding a bunch of hp here. Just looks sweet and I guess weight loss...Look on the TK site, on the blog should have some info on the TK aero kit and exhaust for the 3IS. LexFather also has the full kit w/ exhaust on his build, and there's a TK thread on the 3IS forum that has more pics. There isn't much more than that on it, but you can probably email Akihiko at TK for more info at furui@tommykaira.com

Oh my, it was not cheap...definitely a guilty/dubious purchase, give Akihiko a ping for pricing. I am liking the Lexon quad exhaust...for the money, seems a better buy. I just couldn't say no based on TK style
