CBE-IS300-NRT Stainless Steel Cat Back Exhaust System [Compatible with 01-05 IS300 Altezza XE10]

Sounds pretty good for the price, way better than chopping off the muffler like some people do. I have headers on my car too so it gets alittle raspy above 4 to 5k rpms, but at idle and from 1 to 3k it has a nice throaty sound. Only complain is that it doesn't sit exactly where the bumper cut out is for the pipe, it sits kinda crooked. Be prepared to fight rusted bolts on your car too, have a propane torch handy and make sure to use tons of pb blaster the day before and let it soak in and soak it again right before you go to wrenching on them, the rusted bolts will snap off and make life way more difficult than it should be.

Put on my 1998 altezza 3GSE. Only used rear section since cat is welded to mid pipe. Fit well. Sounds surprisingly good. All hangers lined up. Sticks a bit past rear bumper but makes sense for japanese spec shorter bumpers. No regrets.

The welds are good, no leaks, and it sounds amazing. The fitment was a bit off however. The shop I took it to for installation had to make some adjustments to get it to fit right, so you definitely get what you pay for. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone looking to make their car sound better without breaking the bank.

This exhaust didn’t lineup. I was kind of bummed but I only paid 150 for I’m taking the tip to an exhaust shop and having them fab something up.

I raided this at five star because I personally think that it is good product for the price. I need to replace my exhaust system for my 2001 Lexus IS300 and this fit good and sounds good. I just had to get a grinder and cut part of the factory fitting off the catalytic converter on the y-pipe for the mid pipe to fit and part of the rear bumper as well so the exhaust doesn't melt the bumper. It only took me an hour to hook up the exhaust but I do recommend buying the little rubber hangers to hold the exhaust up. It's just easier to cut and replace and they are cheap 25$

Hard fitment by the before muffler bend, sound if exshaust not as desirable. Weak welding and flanges to tight .

I bought this simply for the piping. I expected it to be a trash system and not fit at all from other reviews. I bolted the two pieces together first. Then bolted to the cat pipe. After bolting tight I then put it in the hangers. Everything fit perfectly and sealed good. Even lined up in the bumper properly. The sound was a million times better than I expected. I will probably leave this muffler on until I go turbo.

Fits great sounds good

Installed fits great.

I've never left a review in my life, but if this saves even one person from buying, my time writing this was worth it. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere. The flange that bolts to the Y-Pipe does not fit at all. The flange from rear-mid pipe to the axle-back is not angled correctly. The axle-back muffler portion has incorrect bends that cause interference with the lower control arm bracket of the sub frame. The tip is literally pressing up against the bumper from the hangers not being angled correctly. Car is un-driveable until I get a new exhaust ordered. How does a 'manufacturing company', manage to mess up every single aspect of an exhaust ? It leaks, and doesn't line up. Wow.

This was not a straight unbolt and add. I had to cut off 24" of the resonator pipe. Bend and add 28" of new pipe. I was told it was made for my car. Which it couldn't have been. Was to short and wrong bends.

sounds amazing and good quality. just the fitment wasn’t that great and it touches the left side of the bumper

When trying to get the exhaust installed, the piping didn't line up by at least 1/'2". Not worth the money, save for a better exhaust.
