Exhaust

I have owned my IS-F for two weeks and absoulutely love it. I just read the comment about the perforated black mesh around the exhaust tips. These are meant to be that way. I don't have the functional reasoning for it but that is definately a factory break in the mesh.

Exhaust Mesh

I consulted the Lexus of Sacramento IS-F champion. For those of you that don't know all of the Lexus Dealers had to appoint a IS-F champion which was sent to Las Vegas to spend time learning about the IS-F. These individuals were able to road test the new IS-F and run hot laps with professional race car drivers at the wheel. Any way He stated that the purpose of the wrapping effect of the mesh was designed to reduce any potential vibration caused by the exhaust system. As I suspected every aspect of these cars truly does serve a functional purpose.
