Sounds like you base what you know on what you read. I've never driven the Lexus IS-F before but I can tell you that it isn't what I thought it should be because I read it in some magazine. There's a huge difference between the IS350 and F. I owned both.

As for the exhaust, the IS boards are reporting the tips being fake as well, but its not like the extra 3 inches was going to effect performance.
