not speed racing in the streets with a luxury car built for comfort. Headers are loud and annoying as ******. Defeats the purpose of driving a luxury car. Not trying to have my car sound like a damn Honda rice bucket.

So take your 21 whp to the street and make no money off of it. To each its own

This is a Lexus. This is a V8. It will NEVER sound like a "Honda rice bucket" People created resonators to cut down on sound if you dont like it loud... same goes with Mufflers.

GS400s have 3 resonators and 2 mufflers.

IS-Fs are still considered luxury cars and they are fast. welcome to the 2011 where luxury cars are fast as hell.

ide take that 21 whp. with FI it goes up even more . just gotta figure the money situation..
