Default I got great news today!

(Because it was just too good to post in only one forum)

I got some good news tonight. One of our fellow forum members is a Lexus technician and looked up my IS350 in the Lexus system. Apparently (unknown to the dealer) it has the $1,500 HKS cat-back exhaust system installed as well as the rear ground effects kit ($500). (After reading the PM I had to run down to the garage to check. I'm stoked!)

Exhaust: (with Video: at 28 seconds it gets loud)

Sewell Lexus Parts

Rear ground effects:

Nice unknown bonuses. I just went from getting a great deal to getting a freakin' great deal on this car!

I was looking at the exhaust the other day and thinking to myself it looked too good to be a stock exhaust system. Yay me.

Lol. It does sound nice going through tunnels at 6K RPM. Not at all, "Lexus-like"

What I DO miss is bolstered seats. Hard cornering sucks on slippery leather seats with anemic bolsters. Of course, I contributed to the slipperiness with a full clean and leather conditioning job last weekend.

I am feeling a bit 'Tiff'-like when playing about

Car: Beep, wooopp, beeep

Me: "Quiet you! Shut up!"

It really doesn't take much at all to get VDIM hooting at you with any amount of gas as the back end likes to break loose in spirited cornering. And, frankly, until I get more time behind the wheel, I'm afraid to turn it off.

yeah, that exhaust sounds alright... the 350 must sound a bit meaner than that.

and the description of the car beeping at you incessantly sounds accurate.. heh

Slide a bit: BEEP.

Loose traction: Wooop.

Approach the limiter: Beep, beep.

At the limiter: WOOOOP

Stop the madness.

On the other hand, I'd never put a front lip on my car like that...unless I was trying to scoop up cats.
