@@tinhinnh I ended up getting one. I can say after living with an A4 and 3 series the room of the a4 stands out but the IS is not too bad for 4 passengers. 5 gets uncomfortable though
After connecting the valve control hose to motor vacuum line, you can install wireless module so you can control it with remote control (open/close) or just sync with your oem garage rear view mirror buttons.
with this setup did you change the mid pipe as well? Just picked up a 23 IS500 a few weeks ago and GT Haus is what I am leaning towards. Not a daily driver so I could care less how loud it is.
Tips are removable but you can not not remove the split section from the exhaust tips. It's splits are welded on there. You have to change the tips to get rid of the split.
GS F is true F so it's bit different than IS 500 but for daily driving, IS 500 gives you very nice, comfortable feeling and can be fun when you floor it. It's bit cramped in the back seat compared to GS but only my 6 year old seats there so its perfect for me. Android auto and apple car Play and a touch screen were life changer. My GS F didn't have any of that. I still like GS F but it was getting old so I got the 23 IS 500.
@musoui what? Who is talking about original F here? I was mentioning true F cars like GS F, RC F, IS F. The guy asked about GS F so I was replying him about GS F.
@@CreamyCraigTV I wish they made 2023 GS F. I miss my GS F. It was time to change and I needed sedan. IS 500 was my choice since they don't make GS F anymore. For daily, IS 500 just do fine. I changed my exhaust to aftermarket on RC F and GS F so quick that I forgot how it sounded stock. Aftermarket exhaust is a must! IS 500 is way too muted. Actually RC F and GS F are not loud enough for stock too. Only LC500 sounded pretty nice for stock when I test drove it.
I still haven’t installed the hardware to close the valves on mines. Do you find much of a difference with valves closed vs open? (Specifically, in-cabin while driving)
A bit. I say not too much difference. Main thing is it's a lot more muffled when it's closed during startup. I didnt want to wake my family or my neighbors and muffled startup is huge plus for me. When I am cruising, not too much difference open vs closed.
Now THAT'S what a V-8 should sound like!
Yes but no for a Lexus...
Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
@@albertofigueroa2461 lexus or not, still what a v8 should sound like fr
@@albertofigueroa2461if this very same engine was in a ford or Chevy, you’d be drueling.
Lexus carrying the torch of V8 sedans with this thing. Good lord that sounds sick!
Lexus IS with their n/a V6’s and V8’s easily the best entry sedans out there.
a lot for an entry
except for room lol

@@tinhinnh that’s why the GS exist, some variants are even lighter weight as f sports compared to the IS
@@BandoLando unfortunately it doesnt exist anymore
God sounds so amazing
Jesus loves you sir
Good job on keeping the oval design.
Oh my…that sound ❤
Just makes me want one even more
Love that sound!
Can’t wait for my mine to come in. Gthaus axleback with resonated apexi midpipe
You will love it, bro. That's a nice combo.
Can you post a vid of it? I have an IS500 trying to decide what to get
Sounds sweet!
Awesome sound
Sheeeeeeeeesh
I wish they had this for the LC500, I would get it.
Pure heaven!!!
Bruh, I want to get this exhaust badly, but it's close to 10k installed.
10k for titanium maybe, not stainless steel. Axle back is much cheaper and can be done with a jack, its just 4 bolts.
Yup, it's the titanium that I wanted. Way too expensive.
@@battousai2089no need for titanium bro, thats an entire supercharger kit right there
@@S5MIKEY I like the lightweight tho
Sounds like it wants to eat on the streets!
it sounds much louder and deeper in real life
I got mine at the same place and it’s the same color
Nice! When I was searching for blue/white combo, only this dealer had it at the dock.
Deep throat…yup, no EV can do that.
Normally aspirated V8
And people say the Japanese don’t have a true car culture 🤔
Any one that says that is born in pure ignorance lol some of the most iconic vehicles to date are all Japanese.
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
"I'd rather have an EV than this" says no sane person ever. And no I don't care if an EV would "gap" this on the street. Jesus.
Prefer the APEXi exhaust
How do you control the valve?
After connecting the valve control hose to motor vacuum line, you can install wireless module so you can control it with remote control (open/close) or just sync with your oem garage rear view mirror buttons.

Yea, I changed it to GT haus mid pipe as well. It's full catback setup.
Is the exhaust pipe split removable? I know it’s the brand’s look but I don’t like the divider
Tips are removable but you can not not remove the split section from the exhaust tips. It's splits are welded on there. You have to change the tips to get rid of the split.
those are the valves
@@S5MIKEYno they are not 😂 look up Meisterschaft exhausts, it's the brand's look. The valves are deeper inside the exhaust

@musoui not a true F just means F sport
I love my GS F so much, imo sounds a lot better than the is500 as well.

Hey bro, where’d you get this setup from? I cannot find it, please help. New IS500 owner
Here is their web site.

How much was it to get this setup (including installation) ?
Catback with valve installation cost is around $400 in my area. For exhaust what other guy said in the comment. Price gets ridiculous for titanium.
@@gumi4680 Did you get the vacuum box separately or hooked it up to the motor's vacuum ?
@Quoc Trinh hooked it up to motor's vacuum.
Is this the stainless or titanium exhaust??
Stainless
@@gumi4680 does it sound more better with the titanium exhaust
@SlowStacker47 I didn't hear titanium version but I heard both versions on RC F before and they sounded same.
@@gumi4680 Exactly, titanium is more for weight savings if your tracking the car.
sounds like a v8… oh wait
too bad cali
Love that color with the 500.
Thats what happens when you have money, fresh out the dealership with a new exhaust setup
sounds good but i hate throwing a brand new exhaust away 😊
@@tinhinnh bikers are used to that behavior :)
Finally we are getting these videos 🤧🙏 needs more loud🥲
