Anyone know of any Black Friday Lexus deals or promo codes for this weekend (2020-11-28)?

My wallet isn't so fat I wish to dump $14XX for sound but she needs a present for Christmas!

Bell Lexus recently had a 20% off promo a few days ago but it looks like it's no longer available.


Hopefully other Lexus promos will pop up soon.

Bump due to time limitation!
Anyone?

The problem is that Bell Lexus is not selling F-Sport parts on their website, but through their Ebay store. I asked them why F-Sport part numbers were not showing up in their parts search and he said it had something to do with Lexus and directed me to their Ebay store, but I don't know if those codes work there. Also they charge tax if buying through the Ebay store

Thread change! OK - let's look for the best deal on F-Sport exhaust!
I found some at 1350 I didn't look to see if shipping was extra. Stupid steap as I'm one could do the whole header back at that price..

In short, If I don't like it I may dump them, install a x crossover, run duals placing mufflers where the resonators are now and out the tail they go.

I still don't know why everyone moved the muffler to the end constantly dealing with drone when mufflers under the car act as resonators, other than mufflers lose heat and velocity. Thus, for emissions, mufflers work better at the exit.

Whatever you end up doing I would keep the stock resonators. Once you remove them, even with mufflers in their place you will be dealing with drone. Been there, done that!

Be specific please, granted they will be small mufflers for that area, but the mufflers will change the up stream sound waves and smooth out the downstream sound wave so waves are more continuous with less individual pressure waves from the fired cylinders. The mistake people make is not downsizing after the muffler to increase the velocity once heat is lost in the muffler.

My experience was installing a 3" Performance CAT back exhaust (2018 Honda Civic Si), which entailed removing the stock resonators (the exhaust was one piece, from CAT to tip). What I ended up with was drone city. I then tried a baffled glasspack in place of the resonators, that helped only a little as the droning continued, especially at highway speeds. I then bought a 3" Vibrant Ultra Quiet Resonator and removed the baffled glasspack, but that maybe cut the drone by 50 percent. Everyone who road in my car would either say "wow, that's loud" or being polite would say "it sounds like a sports car".

The stock resonators were specifically engineered to eliminate droning for our application, but if you know what you are doing than you could size the mufflers properly to eliminate droning, but I think a properly designed resonator would still do a better job. I could be wrong, but from my experience anyone who has ever removed the stock resonators has had a hard time eliminating drone, and ended up spending lots of time and money trying to fix it. Some I know had to just go back to stock

"Happy Thanksgiving"!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't deal with Bell. I had a customer service issue with them and they were not nice at all.

ELexis

Thanks for providing the information. Were your dealings via their ebay store or with dealership? Perhaps each are separate from one another, and one not providing the best customer service.
