Default RC 350 with F-Sport Performance Exhaust

As I'm new to Lexus ownership, has anyone purchased a new RC 350 with the F-Sport Performance Exhaust System as a factory or Port installed option? Not aftermarket install but actually from Lexus on the new purchase? I'm thinking its a pretty rare factory option? The CPO 2015 RC 350 F-Sport that I just purchased came with it from new and the cost on the invoice/build sheet was $1,875. I've actually sent an inquiry to Lexus to see if they know how many came with the option. Sent last week but no response. Has a nice sound too it especially when you accelerate pretty quick, idle not much, and no drone at 85mph.

Can you post a sound video so we can hear it?

The look of the single tips looks good and unique on the RC. Diffuser looks a lot better than the quad faux tip diffuser too.

There are some other sound clips of the F-Sport Performance Exhaust on the internet. But the real sound benefit is under hard acceleration (which I can't do a sound clip in that mode). To be honest, sitting in the garage or in the driveway not that spectacular. My CPO car came with the exhaust and diffuser. Great option that I'm glad the previous owner paid for. I have no clue how much of a discount you can get on the exhaust/diffuser.

Same motor, same exhaust.

I had the F-Sport installed. Pair it was AFE Takeda Intake and I promise, you'll be in heaven. Sounds clean (no drone under steady driving)

I must say the F-sport exhaust is one of the best sounding exhausts I've heard (this is the first time from that video above.)
Aside from sound, most exhaust systems are just pretty and pretty expensive on our cars so I would probably not trade up my custom mufflerless axle back to quad tips. While visiting RR Racing, I've had the tech's comment on my set up being the best they've heard (which is funny because they sell a ton of aftermarket ones) and even show it to some customers. I am debating getting just new tips (still quad but stacked like the RCF design) and hope it continues to sound the same.
