ISF exhaust tips decided to fall off before photoshoot

Mantas88 · July 4, 2020

Hello guys, I only had Lexus ISF with me for a day when famous oem quad exhaust tips decides to go airborne. Right before I wanted to take some ISF ***** picks for my private collection. Luckily enough I managed to see them decoupling in my mirror and caught them bastards by their necks. It was a close one, as we were about to get flattened by a truck. I will try to find a welder today and get him to weld all four just in case. It seems that there are like 6 (4 up, 2 down) tiny weld spots on the original tip surely they are ought to give up the ghost at some stage.

It seems that transport company hooked a rachet strap on the left assembly and it streched out the poor sod. Hanging lower than on me granny. Hence why tips fell off and I can't even get them aligned. The mesh is warped as well. No wonder tips fell off when I've picked the car.

Can anyone recommend me a place where I can purchase a replacement? Or maybe kind ISF owners would have one for sale?

Cheers

Hi Mantas,

I've spoken to my local Lexus dealership in the past about OEM replacements due to carbon being coked on mine (luckily polished it off) as I couldn't find any being sold anywhere else. They are around £600-£800 as they only come with a new rear back box assembly.

This must be the reason most people go with a new exhaust system as it's not much more and you get more noise.

Other members on here may know more than me or have a spare set. But I'd either try and DIY fix it using tools and patience or get an aftermarket exhaust.

@Mantas88 Is it the tips you need? Or the whole thing. I do have the set in my garage somewhere but probs need some polishing etc

Thank you guys. I got original ones welded and the mount fixed.

@4969_LXS thanks for the advice, I will definitely look for exhaust upgrade at some stage, I find OEM exhaust to be tad bit mild for my taste and would love to have less restrictive system.
