TRD/ cat back exhaust

[chris.gio]

Dealer selling me my car wants $4086 to for TRD exhaust. That includes tax & installation.

If the exhaust is $2270 or about $2450 after tax, sounds like an install quote of $1636.

Curious if you think sounds fair?

Also won’t roll into loan so wanting cash to do it…

not a good deal...should be an easy driveway install. you can also probably get the exhaust shipped to you for $1600-$1800 online

now I’m doubting my post a little.. Lexus has the part for over $2k when building car online…

But then Lexus dealers SEEM to sell it for about a fourth of that like here:

Could it be the same part??

Damn thats a steal

Yes but if you google, everyone selling it for about that much. And note they list MSRP as $800 (not $2270). So what is going on…

I orderd the parts from Bell Lexus, incuding the hardware kit that I probably don't need since I can re-use the existing stuff. Here's the cost, and I found out they are having a July 4th sale and offereng another 17% (~$325) off.

The $800 is just for the tail pipe component. That's not all you need. See my post above.

It would be great if you could do a before and after post. Very interested but this is my long drive family hauler and can’t deal with any drone and want to keep the cruising tolerable and only want the growl when I step on it. lol

What kind of performance enhancements can you get from this mod?

Still hasn't arrived, but I plan to do at least a cold start comparison video when it's installed. I'm not expecting too much. But we'll see.

As an old, lifelong car guy, I expect this to give virtually no performance enhancement without other mods to compliment it, and I don't plan on doing any. I just hope it sounds better.

Thanks, I tried to look up performance enhancements from the product literature but it's not mentioned. I agree, a better sound is cool. Something I might look into when I'm done bleeding money with our remodel. These mods become addicting. My next priority is to remove the Wescott lift and replace it with a full suspension lift.
