Default Thinking on an aftermarket exhaust, 2016 IS350 F Sport AWD.

I like something deep sounding and throaty like the way those Infiniti Q50s’ sound with their aftermarket exhausts. Not obnoxiously irritating but has that wonderful growl and purr.

I was thinking between an F Sport exhaust or a muffler delete (with an x pipe). I like the way the muffler delete sounds but I know there are better options out there.

I am fairly new to exhaust upgrades and I’m also looking for something that is not exorbitantly pricey like an Arkgrip catback. Invidia catback is another one on the list but like I said, I want that perfect combo of something that’s not too quiet but also not too brash

Same car but non f sport. Any updates? What have you been looking at? I'm looking into the ark grip cat back exhaust. I spoke with guys over at rr racing and he mentioned that it's one of the better exhaust for our lexus.

Nothing else unfortunately but I have thought of the F sport exhaust (it’s not really much of an attention seeker but it’s also not too boring either) or an Invidia Q300 catback. Both are at similar prices, the question now is whether or not I am able to afford getting ticketed by **** officers. The Arkgrip is nice but it’s too loud. Another good alternative is GT exhaust if you’re in the market for an aftermarket exhaust setup.

It would be nice to hear different exhaust in person. I want a low rumble growl, not a tin can sound. When I spoke with a rep at rr racing, he mentioned that the invidia sounds tin can like.
I also don't want to get tired or annoyed at the sound either. It's a daily so it's not easy to pick one out. Especially if all I have is video sound clips, reviews and subjective opinions. I gotta go to a car meet. That would be a good chance to hear an exhaust on a lexus. I'm in the NYC area.

A low rumble growl - sounds like you need to upgrade to an ISF! Haha.

I’m getting that installed tomorrow on my 350 AWD. I’ll let you know, videos just don’t do justice and it’ll be my first time hearing this rare aftermarket exhaust.

That's awesome! Anything you can share would be great. I read that you should use oem gaskets in order to assure you have no leaks. Would you happen to be near NYC?

Ugh I have the original gaskets that are rusted. I bought this used after all. Think I could ask the shop to use the OEM gaskets.

and unfortunately not, I live in Toronto.
