My is350 had a cat back Xforce exhaust and a Takeda intake. The car was a lot of fun to drive and sounded amazing. 

I've read a lot of forums where the owners compare the is350 to an IS F and everyone says they are very close in acceleration etc... 

My ISF has full bolt-ons - PPE headers, Joe Z exhaust, AOS, springs etc. The V8 sound is contagious, I want to drive it day and night for no reason haha. The amount of attention and people staring and trying to figure out what it is is crazy. The car has a very loud v8 rumble at idle.

The difference between the two cars is night and day in my opinion. The IS F pulls hard!

Interior wise they are pretty much the same except the carbon trim look bits. 

I've owned Evos, supercharged cars NA v6s etc. None of them compare to the ISF imo. The car is rare, unique, sleeper look and very fast. 

There is a guy on YouTube "ISFASTER" with a 2012 ISF, with only an Xforce exhaust. He takes his car on the strip and has beat a lot of powerful cars. Helps to be a good driver also haha

Thanks for the feedback - have you owned or driven a IS350 with FBO's ?

I have been thinking of trading up from 2012 IS350 F Sport to 2012 / 2013 ISF but I still have a love for my car, however want more power and I am already FBO and a supercharger doesn't make sense because I would be close to a purchase price of a ISF. In OZ now they are $50k for around 70-90 kms on the Odometer and the engine can go forever. I might do it in a couple of years, but keen to get a view on someone who have driven both FBO IS350 and ISF...

Congrats Dan! I also came from a ZR6 Aurion when I initially purchased my 2011 is350 f sport. It did feel a lot smaller coming from an Aurion. You get used to it quickly. I owned my is350 for 7 years before upgrading to an ISF a few weeks ago. 🙂

I had a Takeda intake on my is350 which made the car sound amazing above 3500rpm. 

All the best with your new car!

Nice one, I plan to one day to buy a ISF. How does the ISF feel after driving an IS350 for so long, is there much of a difference vs. 350? From a engine sound, engine response, interior and overall experience?

I own a 2IS 350 F Sport and have been driving it for 5 years, love it, I have all the bolt ons (PPE Headers, F Sport Intake, Custom Midpipe, High Flow Cats, Dual X Force Exhaust & RR Racing Tune 7,200 RPM limiter) It is fun to drive, I am keen to upgrade one day to a 13/14 ISF....Do you think it would be worth the change over?
