Hey guys. A few questions that Im sure were already answered in this thread. The first is, would this void any kind of warranty? The second is, does this eliminate the low end lag? We have an A5 loaner right now (wife's car is being serviced) and the car has the same amount of HP and there is no lag. I understand the car is turbocharged, but the absence of the lag is very noticeable.

RR has done a tremendous amount of HARD miles with the SC, headers and exhasut installed with no issues.
Now...about the apple and orange comparison of a turbo car and an NA car...the NA car has a smooth power curve and a turbo car feels like you get a swift kick in the *** around 3500 rpm once the turbo spools. With the new twin scroll turbos you have a lot more power at the low end.
Good, Bad??? You can decide.
I will note...I've raced STi's for years and I chose the IS as a daily driver. The IS motor is bomb proof. They've been around for years, hence the reason RR is racing them.
I will end with this. I'll be adding a tune, headers and exhaust to my IS as soon as my odometer reads 10k, and illI be looking at the RR kit exclusively.

If you flash the ECU, I would say they probably wouldn't notice. If you add headers, exhaust, and SC kit then YES. Technically anything installed by you, not the dealer, could potentially void your warranty.

They'll never notice, go for it! Your motor will run better, keep the same gas mileage and be a lot fast!
The only issue is...if you have a 2017+, you'll be without your car several days. The ECU will have to be over nighted to RR for a bench top tune, then they'll over night it back. Contact them directly for further details. Don't let this scare you, it's worth every penny and all your time.
If you get ambitious...like myself...the headers and exhaust turn the IS into an absolute beast! And it sounds amazing as well!

Seriously? You are demanding a response to your demand for 450 RWHP on an Lexus IS 3.5 L V6? You want another 10% on what, 2 octane?
Gotta say, shut up or put up. They have blown this into the stratosphere - Are you buying the 412HP, or are you just here to blow smoke?

412 Rear wheel horsepower on a dyno. 3.5 Liter. Think about it man.

For now with Stage2 you will get 412 WHP on pump gas with about 10 PSI.

We are currently working on solving the tuning issues that will allow us to reach Stage 2 power levels on the RWD platforms.

Pwned. I guess you are one of those people that didn't learn to stay quiet when you didn't know what you were talking about. Let's see by your reply (or lack there of) if you can be one of those people to accept correction when they are wrong and not let their pride get the best of them causing them to try and rationalize or excuse away why they were wrong.
I don't road race my car so I can't help with that part, however I really appreciate your approach to determining reliability before offering it to the customer. Kudos!
