Default Any RC's with F-Sport exhaust?

The F-Sport has round tips, does anyone have pics of an RC350 with the f-sport exhaust? I believe the fsport exhaust fits all IS 250/350, as well as the RC 350.

Thanks!

I still don't think it sounds deep or thumpy enough to be honest with any exhaust upgrade on the RC. Now on the V8 RC-F, that's a different story. I've seen a couple cold start and rev YouTube videos of the RC-F and you can just tell how nice and deep the tone is compared to the RC. I just feel an exhaust upgrade on the RC doesn't make a noticeable difference to sound. I could be wrong however, because I haven't heard it in person....just a couple videos I've seen with exhaust upgrades on YouTube.

It used to be sound clip here but it got moved,removed so I'm still wondering.
I know that you mentioned that you love the sound so what about a sound clip brother.
I'm about to install mine this weekend and it would be awesome to hear what I'm about to put in my car.
Thanks

I love the rear diffuser. In the video I notice it says optimized for improved HP and low to mid range torque. But does anyone know what performance gains can be expected?

I called service dept and asked about spec's on the part.They got nothing !!!!
I was told that exhaust is made by HKS.
I tried calling them and asking directly them for spec but I got nothin'
Sadly now,I have to trust other owners for what they say about the sound...

Yup...I love it.
It's nice tone.Nothing annoying or raspy or super loud...right amount of "base" in it.
I love the way it looks & sounds.
Pair it with intake and you're good to go man.
