Installing these Silver’s from RR Racing next weekend along with the USRS.

Picked up the Lexus F-Sport performance exhaust as well. Waiting on the diffuser. Hoping to do both at the same time.

Interested in the Fsport exhaust and diffuser. What drove you to OEM vs after market? What year is your car?

Default All cleaned up

Weather has been nasty these past couple of weeks in the mid Atlantic. Car was filthy. Finally had a chance to give her a good bath and a top coat of Polish Angel High Gloss Wax. My old iPhone sucks for pics but still love the way Caviar pops and flops in the sun.

2017. I’ll post a video at some point.

1. I wanted something that wasn’t loud, especially at idle. From what I seen and read, the OEM exhaust sounds stock at idle and has a nice sound in the mid-high revs. Understated but noticeable is the theme I’ve kept every time something was customized.

2. CARB legal.

3. Hard to beat OEM quality.

I wish the OEM diffuser would work with the 2019 and up model years. I would do the F-Sport with diffuser in a heartbeat.

Came across this kit from Lexusboutique. States it is for 2019+
https://lexusboutique.net/products/t...16101627002974
shipping will probable be nuts. Lexus dealerships should sell TRD parts for our cars.

Looks like the sport exhaust is now a dual tip model vs the single tip on the earlier models, either that or different system for different region but that seems unlikely.

looks like you’re right that the MY19-23 RCs have a quad tip TRD exhaust. Is there an F-Sport version though?

No, I don’t believe it’s quad tip. The last time I looked which wasn’t long ago, the TRD F Sport is dual exhaust with single tips.

yeah you’re right. I misread the description I screenshot. Is there only the TRD version then and no FSport?

Installed RR-Racing coilovers and USRS. Tinted the DRL and fogs.

Confirming that the F-Sport exhaust PTR0353210 does fit the AWD model despite Lexus’ compatibility list. Will post a video a couple weeks from now after the break-in period, but initial reaction is exactly what I wanted. Deep low growl. The diffuser is way nicer in person too. Pleasantly surprised about that.
100% would recommend if anyone doesn’t want an obnoxious aftermarket system and keep the OEM+ look.
