crossing my fingers. it looks like the exhaust tips can be changed...looking for a more subtle look.

damn, RR Racing makes you sign an affidavit before buying the exhaust?!?! there's probably no way this system will pass in CA...haha.

That RR Racing exhaust sounds pretty sweet with closed valve. Would love to have a non-valved system that sounds like that

Too loud IMO. Sounds like a cheap mustang.

I prefer a softer and higher pitch like the LC500 or LFA, as Jeremy Clarkson once called it, like an animal in pain.

I mean, the LFA is in its own class for sound. The LC also has an active exhaust that comes stock and tuned by Lexus. Hard to compete with these.

But much like music, exhaust notes are subjective. I personally LOVE the way the GT350 and Challenger/Charger 6.4's and Hellcats sound, so this is right up my alley.

Let's do it. We only charge $300 to install and you can hang out and wait.

About that.... I'll need an IS500 first 😅

But in the meantime, I have your website favorited and you're an hour away. DM me some info if you want and I'll save it. We'll make beautiful music together

Can't see how you'd get the LFA sound on an IS500 since it's a completely different engine. You might be able to get close to the LC500 with a custom setup.

I think that's going to be very hard in a 5L V8.

I'm sure you do it, but you'll need a custom exhaust, probably custom headers, and maybe ITBs.
