Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe Problems of Lexus IS

To whom it may concern. Within the Is-f(2008-2014). Members are experiencing cracked headers manifold. Members report smelling bad eggy pre-cat fumes odor. This seems to be an Issue for people with mid to high mileage. The other Issue every member Is experiencing are leaking valley plate seal. Pink coolant can be observed dripping in minor cases and leaking in major cases. Cases of a pool of coolant on owners driveway/garages. This can easily cause a fire. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly; 14 - unable to provide information for all the characters in the VIN. #vpic#.

My Lexus Isf has a cracked passenger side manifold which Is very audible on startup and beginning signs of a valley plate coolant leak, which will eventuallylead to engine failure. These cars were made in very low numbers, however our car enthusiast community Is experiencing these failures in a higher than acceptable numbers of this rare vehicle. Each repair Is many thousands of dollars and (valley plate 2k-5k) (manifold quoted at 22 hours labor and 1400 for the part from Lexus) taken into account the low production number and high rate of failure, this must be addressed. Lexus has failed to work with me sharing the bill.
