Why would you want copies of a 3 Gen IS aftermarket exhaust system ?!

All I'm saying what is needed to make copies. I've TIG welded before and know how easy it to make an exhaust. Same goes for an intake, especially one for Lexus.

Yes people in the know.. Can reverse engineer just about anything...

But why do that, when you can make your own original parts..!!

Is this still a pre-production prototype because the hood doesn't line up with the front fender...or is it really like that?

Thanks for the clarification.

It's just kind of worrying that this close to actual production in November and such blatant quality issues are present. It's been well over a month of automotive journalist testing including claimed production tuned version tested by Motor Trend a month ago as well as all the driving events taking place that they've had to at least made more than a few dozen of these so called pre-production prototypes that are demonstrating what many claim as merely a fraction of the performance and handling of the forthcoming production jewel. Not really sure how releasing a detuned lower quality vehicle to the media can help sales and promote anticipation of potential buyers, but they still have 11 days to get everything just right.

Hang in there buddy.

Lexus has yet a few tricks up its sleeves. You will receive a quality build with yet undocumented performance. It's called "understate and over perform.". This car will fly, if you want.

Ooooh sounds tempting. I wonder what kind of over performance we will receive.
