ilv1004s

oh....i thought i just picked up a lemon....but apparently everyone is on the the same boat....damn. i thought facelifted model is always better. but how come Lexus is doing the other way around? do you guys know what parts have they changed? is it just the speakers? btw.... i just realized we hv quite a few ppl on the forum upgraded from IS250 to IS350. hm......have u guys been asked this kinda question: "Oh!!!! is it your new car? how come it looks the same? what the differences are. 250 isn't it the same as 350 but more features?" :( i bet some ppl might think i just wasted $ to get the same but new car...lol i dunno i dont have ML in my 350 but i find the ML better quality i find the newer ML's found in our rx450h is a blast though my ISF ML system does not seem to pump as hard as my IS350 in order to experience the ML system u need to pump it up on volume thats where the ML *BLEEP*s all over the non ML (in my case ISF vs 350 Prest) In regards to your fuel consumption stop driving it hard mate i had it sitting on 7.8 on the weekend on the free way and now after normal city and motorway driving it's on 9.3L So no ur car is not a Lemon BUT I THINK YOUR FOOT IS LOL :P

yeap ur car is a 2011 model i have similar OEM lips for sale if your intrested they are the japanese version of the F sport lip

My opinion remains in that you have to be careful regarding the warranty. Hypothetically, you may experience some "rattling" issues internally which can easily be attributed to the new exhaust vibrations. In this case some dealers may not want to spend the time locating these or fixing them if they believe it was due to a third party fitment. My impression of the post I was referencing is that it was mainly about the money, I agree if it's about different sound and tastes get what you want. Maybe I'm just too wary about the warranty aspect, anyway each to their own and I hope you enjoy whatever you get, the ISS system does sound good. Donald indeed that is a problem when owning a 100K+ car always worried about warranty due to the cost but iv been fine with my dealer i fitted all my exhaust and mods on my self everytime theres a rattling issue they just fix it

yeah i know the white 1 is that yours now?

an exhaust will not void a warranty unless it's directly related to the problem ie (o2 sensors-Cat O2 sensors etc) its not about saving money on joez (supplied by chatswood) and other exhaust it's about different sounds and different taste on different exhaust set up

OEM = Original Eqipment of manufacture After windscreens will do the job they are the same though they dont have the cut out on the bottom on the passenger side corner where your Vin number is shown only OEM's have that

too loud? its quiet on idel like normal u can only hear it when u step on it

yeah my car does idle abit louder than my little brothers is250 and the 350 has more of a hm.. how should i put it electronic hum noise (i think injectors) mate you will love the greddy sp and invidia set up on the 350 sounds like a turbo v6 on high revs

hahaha you did the right thing man did you transfer your exhuast and stuff to the your 350 from the 250? with the ML i think your the 2nd person ho mention that as well tbh i cant tell the difference

it is quite normal for a speed to read over the actual speed they are probably just gonna laugh at u and tell you it's ok
