Exhaust differences

[tel999]

Hi.

Have purchased my new to me Lexus is250 auto It has a rear exhaust blow, so will get it checked. Looking at rear exhaust sections it would appear they are only available for cars built up to 2008. You guessed it, mine is a 2010.

My question is....Could anyone tell me the difference between an up to 2008 and a post 2008. I am not overly keen on a SS system as I really love the silence in the cabin.

Thanks chaps.

There is/was a seller offering Lexus IS250 rear exhausts on eBay.

Someone on here got one and only had to do a minor bit of fettling... probably due to being mishandled by a carrier.

I had a link somewhere ... I'll go search for it!

Found it!

I'm guessing you've seen this seller as he says its for 2005-2008 cars.

You could message him, give him your reg and he will tell you if it will fit. He's based in the West Midlands.

I think you're right to avoid the stainless route ... droning issues have been reported.

Thanks nomski2

I have contacted this chap and he is very helpful but, can’t advise if this will fit the 2010 model. If all else fails this could be the only way forward, possibly with a little modification.

I will keep the group informed, as Guess I won’t be the only one with this problem.

Thanks again

Try looking on the websites of the well known tyre and exhaust centres. Use your cars reg number and one of a 2007/8 one (look on autotrader for one) and see if the part numbers are the same for both. Even look to see if there are any pics of the exhausts. Doing this will confirm either way if the 2 systems are the same or not.

You could try here. Scroll to the bottom...the last section shows 09-13 vehicles.

Genuine Lexus rear section (17430-31A71) is apparently the same regardless of year, so I'm guessing any exhaust said to fit an IS250 will be fine.

I have this for a 2008-2010 model.

Thanks.

Booked in for investigation on Wednesday.

Well....

How stupid did I look.

My lock all garage had it on the ramp, checked from front to rear with no fault found.

Never having owned a 250 before I thought it sounded raspy, if it does it is not the exhaust causing it.

Best £20 spent in a garage.
