don't worry about the paddle shifters coz IS250 won't shift like DSG...it takes more than a sec to figure out what to respond.

hi everyone, i do have the dash rattle as well. Mine is SL so i have Mark Levinson audio package So, probably its not the empty space to trigger the rattle. Apart from the dash rattle, i also have the rattling noise at right rear door too. it happens when the car is turning....... I think Lexus should do something, and address the problem on the next IS. i just think its not acceptable that having the rattling noise on luxury car.

i will get my fd to install it tomorrow. i m not confident to DIY it lol.....i wish it won't be too loud (that's always my concern)

Hi everyone, i believe the exhaust will be arrived by this week. Is there any workshop you guys can recommend (near Macquarie Park) to install it?

maybe you can try to get the earlier yr model. I believe IS250 is quite reliable, dun afraid to get older one (if budget is your problem)....and yea...i also suggest you to get Sporty Luxury.

thx for the offer mate....Im in Macquarie Park area. what abt u ? but ...i already ordered the Greddy one, hope it won't be too loud

haha :) Its funny you are asking me to swap, which means u also think Greddy is better than the Fujitsubo one .. i bought the Greddy exhaust at around $1000 AUD (including shipping), and u're selling yours at 1100? plus its an used one....so.. no thanks....lol i think you bought the exhaust from another forum member rite? i wonder how much u paid for him.

thx for the offer, i wish i can check out how it sounds like in person, but i'm in NSW,.....also, i just bought the Greddy one. good luck for the sales mate.

hey Danny....you are quite right. the sound is pretty much the same as the stock exhaust....its a bit too quiet..lol

thx for the advice Danny......its funny u said "no sound get fuju or tanabe". are they pretty much same as the stock exhaust ?

thx for the advice. so....maybe i should get the Fuji one. somehow i dun like Tanabe

Hi everyone, i have read a few posts in relation to the exhaust choice. Am after the quiet type, so these 2 (FUJITSUBO LEGALIS R & GREDDY AXLE BACK EXHAUST SP ELITE) would be suitable for me. But i'm still having trouble to pick one of these. They are quite similar (price, look, db level etc....) i db level of Greddy is 91db, which is slightly louder than Fujitsubo one 82db....i believe figure difference shouldn't be noticeable rite? Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.......

Hi Lex51S, are you still interested to organize the group buy?

Hi PRV, thanks for the advice. btw...i know yours is the new SP one, just wondering if it sounds similar to the previous version (GREDDY SPECTRUM ELITE)

Hi Lex51S, am definitely interested in getting the old style (GREDDY SPECTRUM ELITE EXHAUST). But the problem is its pretty hard to get 15 ppl.

Hi PRV, am about to purchase a Greddy exhaust too. I do prefer the SE (the blue trips one) over the SP. Unfortunately, i believe SE has been discontinued. I hv to buy the SP instead, wish it will sound similar to SE. I might get the K&N filter later on as well. Honestly, apart from the sound, any noticeable improvement on performance? oh...btw......did you reset the ECU as well (as suggested by other forum members)

I believe David's car is sports luxury, so Bi-Xenon lights are standard. I would presume they should aim properly rite ?

Hi David, the after market one should cost around $50-80. Its not that expensive, and i believe they last long as well. Hi Atlantis, As for the k thing, (correct me if i'm wrong), the difference between 8000k and 6000k basically is the colour. Blue Vs White.

Hi David, sorry to hear that. However, like others said, its not expensive to purchase a new set. Change to 8000k one to make it looks nicer :)

that's ridiculous. Is it called warranty and good service by Lexus? I wouldn't even pay a cent for any repairing cost if the car is under factory warranty. Maybe writing to consumer affairs would force them to face the issue.

I do have this noise. Some ppl claim the noise is normal for IS250, but some say is abnormal. The best way is do is get Lexus to inspect the car. (Hm...but...do they normally say the car is normal?)

hi guys.....this one is the cat back with mid-pipe package. Its $850 USD. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Invidia-Q300-Cat-Back-with-Mid-Pipe-2006-2011-Lexus-IS250-IS350-HS06LISGT3-/170887911196?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27c9b6971c&vxp=mtr If the mid-pipe already costs abt 350-450, this cat back with mid-pipe package is quite a good buy.

Oh.....so everyone on this forum doesnt hv the jerky gear change at all am i just too sensitive? Or my car actually has gear change problem?

Yea..it's normal mode. I didn't know the car take off in 2nd......But am quite sure the car actually take off in 1st coz I hv the gear box display on the dash to show it. Hopefully it's not something wrong with my car

Its good to hear you have sorted the problems. I can't wait for mine.
