I added both to my car. Both are Lexus OEM parts, and I did all of the work myself.

that red is nice.

I wouldn't own a red car, personally, but I entirely agree - it sure is a nice red!

Where did you manage to get an F Sport exhaust? I can't find that thing anywhere.

Love the addons. Great job on the install.

A Lexus dealership should have them in stock. If not, check out the Vendor area on these forums.

Looks great...nice job!

How much did the exhaust cost from dealership?

How does it sound?
Do you notice any increase in power?

Thanks in advance!

I got mine shipped to me by Bell Lexus in Scottsdale AZ. I don't live anywhere close to AZ but have found they regularly have good prices on Lexus parts. They had a 10% off discount and discounted shipping. Disgustingly, it was way cheaper to have it shipped across the country than to get it from my local dealer.

Part numbers and prices were as follows

PTR5424150 1 $ 193.50 Diffuser. Bumper Insert for F SPORT Performance Exhaust.

PTR0300160 1 $ 1,063.80 F SPORT Performance exhaust

You will notice I have an AWD. Many places say it won't work. I even had Bell Lexus contact me to say it wouldn't work after buying it. Well, there's zero difference in shape vs my factory exhaust, so no idea why this myth exists.

Much deeper tone. Very significant difference, especially at lower rpms. That said, it isn't ricer. Probably the most satisfaction I get is when I do a cold start in the garage. I actually expected it to be milder than it is. I personally wouldn't want it to be anything more than it is. Imo, it definitely makes the car look and sound more masculine.

Regarding power, that's really hard to say. Lexus claims it adds hp but if I'm honest with myself I'm not going to be able to feel 10hp.

Is this exhaust system any different than what the F-sport comes with, with the F-sport option? Just curious.

Looks Good!!!!

Yes, it's different. I believe zero RCs came from the factory with the exhaust shown. Rather, it is a dealer installed option. I believe the same is true of spoilers.

The original has a rather muted sound and the stainless you see is only a cover for the tips. The F Sport exhaust is polished stainless all the way to the mid pipe, has different tips and requires a different diffuser because it has circle tips instead of rectangular.

An example of what's standard

I must have a very rare 2015 RC 350 as mine came from Lexus with the F-Sport exhaust installed directly by Lexus. Not a dealer installed option. It cost $1,925 in 2015 and is on the factory build sheet. When I purchased the car 2+ years ago I sent a letter to Lexus asking how many were produced with the F-Sport exhaust. Their response was that it was propriety information and would not provide an answer. I then asked my Lexus dealer the same question and they could not get a response from Lexus. Perhaps I have the only one. There has to be others?

I had my F Sport exhaust installed last year. That price posted above was a steal. Paid $1250 for mine from my local dealer. Took down my bumper and drove down the street to a local muffler shop. $50 to install. Couldn’t get the damn stock exhaust tips off. F Sport diffuser wouldn’t have fit with those on. Muffler guy asked, where’s your bumper at? Lol! I did install the lip spoiler myself. I went with drilling the holes. The stencil does not line up correctly. Had to mess with it.

The F-Sport exhaust was shown as an option in the 2016 RC 350 Brochure. It was not in the 2015 brochure, but became an option probably somewhere in the 2015 production cycle.
