Korney Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 I'm considering replacing my stock exhaust system with the F-Sport Performance Exhaust system. I'm probably going to do this upgrade at end of the month.... My dealer will acquire/install. A little pricey, but if they do it it'll stay in warranty. I heard a few audio clips on YouTube of its' sound, but hard to tell. Dealer says it retains its quietness at idle and at Eco speeds (no drone), but then gets throaty when accelerating hard. He didn't immediately know HP or torque gains. Also, unfortunately I'll loss those cool rectangular exhaust tips and have round tips instead. Any thoughts or comments on this upgrade?
Korney Posted May 23, 2016 Author Posted May 23, 2016 Well, I did it! Installed today.... Looks great, sounds great. (Although my wife was a little upset with me when she heard it coming down the street. Oh well, the agreement was that it's "my toy" .) 2
VBdenny Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 There is nothing like having a little pipe on a vehicle. Put a short clip of the sound on Instagram, I'd love to hear it bark. Wives and cars. Ahh.
tvogelsang Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 I've got the same accessory on my 350F ... it definitely gives some good growl to the vehicle <3
ccviggen Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 Thought about the exhaust upgrade, but not sure of real value. I assume you've made the change to the new system by now, but I've seen the round tips on a standard RC-F and being duel-tips they looked fine.
kansay Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Can you tell me, if you know please, the part #, i'm having a hard time locating the part #. No one will commit to saying PTR03-53140 or the one that replaced it will fit and i hate to lay out that type of money pay to have installed and it not work. Thanks.
Korney Posted May 12, 2017 Author Posted May 12, 2017 Kansay - Yes, that is the part number. (I checked on my service invoice). I see you're in Maryland. Well, I did the upgrade at Lexus of Rockville. Note, they had a on-line coupon for 15% off of all F-Sport accessories. Also, I kept all the old parts (OEM Exhaust system) and then was able to e-Bay it for some good money. Both of these actions helped substantially defray the costs of the new system! Hope this helps.
Korney Posted June 6, 2019 Author Posted June 6, 2019 Hey Rokz. So not to be evasive, but that's a tough question. The "best exhaust system" a very personal choice. Like asking what's the best bourbon? Whats the best cigar? For me, it was important to keep my Lexus all Lexus. Also, I wanted it just modestly louder. So I went with the Lexus exhaust system. However, there are many aftermarket systems out there. Many reviews and many sound clips can be googled. (Also many opinions on "what's best"). So, it's a personal choice. Let us know what you decide!
Brandi Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Glen, can you send me a sound clip of what the exhaust sounds like on your car please? I have a Red 2015 RC 350 F Sport and thinking of changing the exhaust for the same one you went with. I can't seem to find a sound clip for the Lexus exhaust. Chris
E.Q. Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Aside from the sound, how is the performance of the F Sport exhaust? Does it affect your fuel efficiency? Thanks
