Is-F supercharger

Lexus makes a great reliable car but this is why I left them. The IS350 was no mod friendly in a cheap way at all. This is why the BMW 335i is a hot seller. There are lots of mod potential with it. Hell, my 335i is as quick or quicker than an M3 or IS-F up to 100mph. The code of the Lexus cars is impossible to write or change. Notice how that is the holdup with all of the forced induction situations. They could make more turbos and SCers if they could actually get into the ECU better. The engine management system is locked up tight I tell you.
The IS-F is solid the way it is but they made it damn tough to modify in any easy way. Any supercharger kit will require changing the internals or it will be such low boost that it is a joke anyway.

executive matchup
agreed, those are huge gains esp. for exhaust. most RWHP gains for exhaust are in the 5 HP (or less) unless the OEM exhaust is extremely restrictive...but still, that's just unheard of!
