Default New Exhaust

I don't really like the stock exhaust tips on these things so I decided to add some new ones. While I was at it, I also got rid of the mufflers lol it has a great tone, not loud at all.

Now you've done it. You've upset the ki of the car by altering the exhaust ports from ovals to circles. The future is hazy.

Thank you.

Here's a very short sound clip used with my iPhone. I'll get a better one up later in the week.

Thank you.

I posted it as a YouTube attatchment from my phone. Are you by chance on a work computer where YouTube is blocked? The reason I ask is because my work computer blocks that site so it looks blank. When I look at the thread from my phone, the video is up.

Sounds almost a lil too aggressive for a LS.

IMO, i think an exhaust note like this takes away the 'class' of a Lexus.

But.....to each their own.

Definitely allows some music to escape from that fine powerplant that lies within that's for sure! As another said, I dunno about having it for my personal DD, but i'm open to both sides of the coin. The first vid isnt bad quality at all really. Post some vids of takeoff (at different levels of aggressiveness ideally), some driving interior noise footage, and some drive-bys and perhaps youll convince me to get out the tools...
