I am sure reducing the back-pressure is a huge plus for reliability right?

I remember something about 3inch diameter exhaust coming out to compliment the SC setup, is that still happening
and how beneficial would that be?
We are fabbing up a complete 3" setup but we wont have time to test until mid November.

I hope that at some point we get a local car to test with stock manifolds to see how much loss there is vs headers. As of right now, our local installs and prospective SC sales all have headers already.

If you need my 2012 as a guinea pig, please notify Lobuxracer. I just need it back by spring 2017.

The mega meet at Lexus of Rockville this morning was a blast. It was good to see Rafi, Mike, and several others from the last time I got together with fellow F'ers. The supercharged RR Racing ISF sounds like absolute DEATH!!!

I thought for sure he was going to blow the window out of the dealership! Awesome guys they are. Truly, a class act. Heck of a meet. Thanks for coming out Rafi and thanks to all the powers that be who put the meet on.

Awesome to see RRRacing make the trip down to the meet, that S/C'd F is insane and definitely won the rev contest, lol.

It was great to see all the other Lexus/F owners out there, too. Good times, for sure and always a great community.

That's my Turbo SC300 in the background on the 2 step. Definitely having fun out there! But by nature a Boosted V8 should be louder then a turbo I6. this video makes my car seem quiet. In person, it was pretty close

Awsome S/C. How much redesigning of the piping is needed to keep the Pre Collision System? What exactly needs to be changed? I have the full radar guidance and PCS which I don't wanna remove. Then I'd have a useless button on the steering wheel and it starts to throw all sorts of messages on the dash.
thanks!

Yeah, the windows were shaking quite a bit and fogging up about 10' high from the heat.
Thanks for coming out!

We would have to have a PCS car in the shop to see how we could modify the intercooler. Alternatively it might be possible to just remove the sensor and integrate it into the mesh grill.

We have been asked about how the SC sounds... well here you can hear it somewhat even though the Bazooka exhaust is just a bit loud!

Revving at the East Coast Mega meet last Sunday... thanks to Gee Jay for posting this video on Youtube.

Rafi, is there a chance you might be able to post dyno plots to back up hp/tq claims?
