Hello all-dropping in to say hello and show my ride
Well it's true I still miss this community a lot and lerk on here every now and then.
Well, I flew my dad out from WI to Pennsylvania to pick it up and drive it back, and I got my car delivered on fathers day. It was the exact color combo, I was looking for and AWD for the right price. Prior to me even purchasing my car I had on order the Skipper carbon fiber front lip (it took almost 3 months to come in) and my Beatsonic NAV/DVD bypass. Once I got my car, I installed my Beatsonic right away and then my Blendmount Radar setup, I got the windows tinted %20 and carbon fibered overlayed the mid bumper, and the spoiler, I then removed my calipers sand blasted them and painted them Red with a F Sport logo, I then purchased Lumin-X for the rear red reflector, and most recently installed RSR Super Downs (love the drop!) and custom fabbed Invidia full catback exhaust which I have the mid pipe resonators cut out and replaced with a straight pipe, I also have 19" Vertini Magic Concave rims that i will be putting on the car for winter.
I came from a 07' Acura TL Type S that I modified quite a bit. I like the Lexus alot, but I also miss some of my features that my Acura had.

Definitely a nice car. We picked up a new one last year and I've driven it quite a few times, it's a very good car.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the F Sport!!! One of the few vehicles that would probably easily get me out of my mint fourteen thousand mile 6mt Type S. No offense as we all have our own taste, but the car sound terrible with the exhaust. Besides that it is just incredible.

Stock sound better, for some reason your car sound like moped.

Weighs about 3800 lbs. TL is about 3500-3600.
That thing has a good amount of power for what it is.
That's a good looking car and white is the color I would have also got.
That exhaust does sound super raspy... Sounds like something that would be on a Honda civic lol.
Love that interior color too.

If someone could point me in the direction of 70mm resonator that would only cut the rasp down and keep the decibels it would be appreciated.

Your thinking of the F line like IS-F, LFA, upcoming RC-F.
That's completely different.
They offer most of their cars even SUVs in the F-Sport trim...
IS250 f-sport etc etc.
It's like BMW with the M-package or audi with their S-Line vehicles. It's not necessarily a high horsepower motor just small cosmetic things to appear more sporty. Maybe even sporty suspension and what not.
Anyways IS-350 F-Sport and IS-F are two different animals.
A GS-F doesn't exist.... yet lol they should make one to compete with the M5 or E63 AMG

The F sport is a package that just slightly tweeks the car for sportiness.

Your comparison to M-Sport and S-Line is spot on as well. For some reason, people can't distinguish between F and F-Sport. I think it's because the IS-F is so rare and it's the only model in the F lineup, so far (besides the LFA of course). This is why I purchased it over the M3 (plus the reliability factor), I probably see 10 M3s per week between the E46 and E9x, I have only seen two IS-F's in my area since 2008. Literally.

Well with the correction factor it is actually putting down 270whp to 4 tires, not 2. Obviously more is better.
Yes they are coming out with a GS-F which is highly under wraps right now and it will probably be released in late 2015, but it is speculated that it will compete with the M5 & E63 and cost around $80k optioned out.
