I will try to add a sound clip from outside later.
Nat,

Did you use a ramp to install them? If so, what kind?

Thanks

Are you going to BOS? If so I'll probably see it then unless you're doing the Asian American Festival Car show in SF on the 19th. I registered for that.

My buddy own a shop and we used his lifter. I would imagine it be a little difficult with a ramp since there is some push/pull force to pull the stud off the rubber bushing. It might be a little had to do that on your back. It took him about 20 mins to do install both.

Appreciate it Nat. I will just go to a muffler shop and have them put on. I'll let you know how it goes.....

I would NOT order it at MSRP just yet..

I am sure Luis @ Carson Toyota / Lexus Parts is still working on the site shopping cart for special price, pictures, thread, etc..

Joe, got mine installed last week and it sounds great. Did you have the tune the ls after the install? Seems to be a lil sluggish. Should I disconnect the battery for awhile to have the ECU relearn my driving habits with the exhaust?

Good question OSU! Got mine installed last week and it great to have my car sound like a 'V8' now. GRRRRRRRR.... My baby is a little sluggish as well. Curious to see what Joe has to say.

Hey Guys...

Glad to hear you're enjoying them..!!!

I haven't heard of the LS feeling "sluggish" after installing an axle back exhaust...

You can try resetting the ecu, make sure your running 91 Oct fuel (or better) & try running it with the "Power Button" ON..

It's also a great time to make sure you have a CLEAN pair of oem engine air filters....

Thank You
Joe Z
