Exhaust ES 350 F Sport

[chrisdabos]

Hello,
since many are critical of the ES F Sport on here compared to other forums I thought I should ask, does anyone have any custom exhaust on their ES7? I've been looking around and am thinking of putting this Magnaflow 19411 catback on it, made for the Camry 3.5. someone in an Avalon forum said theirs bolted on just like the Camry and since our ES is the same platform as the Avalon there shouldn't be an issue, only with the tips at the end and the bracket that holds that, but the muffler shop would just cut them off and weld a regular looking outlet tip on there how it looks stock now. It's hidden by the diffuser already and the hangers are on the pipe portion of the catback. I don't care for performance gains since I willingly bought a FWD sedan weighing at 3600 lbs but with a luxury Lexus sport look to it and it's a Magnaflow, they're known for quiet/deep sounds. Anyone done any exhaust work to the ES and what are your thoughts on making an ES7, known for it's quiet idle and ride, changing that to putting this catback on? I figure if I get tired of it I can just unbolt it and put the stock one back on. Thanks

Edit- here's links for sound-

Update, not a bolt on. Not sure what modification the Avalon guy had to do but this catback was hitting a part of the suspension. So now I need to sell that kit and back to step one for me. Another guy said a Borla rep emailed him about using a camry catback and that it was too short. I think I'll follow with them on any chance of an ES catback. Just an update.

Good luck in your search. The magnaflow does sound nice!

... what about the exhaust from the Camry TRD?

Better yet, Avalon TRD also has its own TRD cat-back dual exhaust. That might be an easier direct bolt-on for the Lexus ES (unless, of course, the Camry TRD and Avalon TRD cat-back exhaust systems are one and the same).

I did think about that method, I got a P/N for the Avalon TRD mufflers which maybe could be just bolt-on axle back.
I think these are the p/n, under comments it says TRD. I wish I could order/look into the TRD exhaust from Japan built by TRD for the ES, now that's an expensive kit.
