While it wasnt much louder than stock, the induction noise was nice (F Sport sound generator) I could tell it did feel a bit choked near redline. Once the 2.5” Vibrant’s were added it was obvious that oem rear mufflers holding me back.

I have no official paper work for my claims ! Lol

I thought the LS had the AA80E regardless of trim and the ISF’s direct shift system was part software on the 2010-2012, and 2013-2017 included the true torsen diff?

The weight change has very little effect, smaller diameter is more important. A steady-state dyno will report no power change, only improves transient (300 rpm per second, etc.).

Camry V4? You have the only one.
What are you talking about? V4? Is that a new engine from Toyota, since when?

I also own a Mitsubishi Mirage with a V3!

By the way, I started this thread, and it has evolved a lot. Which I'm absolutely fine with. There's no telling what good MAY come out of this thread.

Your exhaust vents paired with the Red Bullets is music to my ears....

Nice ... there's only been a recording or 2 that has captured the sound well. Yours and mine neither catch it all that well. However, I have a cheapie dash cam that has the best sound I've heard. That and one other guy's video on below, sounds much better than my recordings.

This is called underdrive pulleys. I had them on a couple of cars and made some decent power. Most noticeably the car reached redline faster thus getting to the top of the powerband quicker. Not much of an issue on v8's but NA v6's and i4's respond well to this mod.

cryptodoni or who ever else has the RedBullets. Why did y'all only get 2 and not 4? Isn't there an intake and exhaust on each side of the motor?

I asked Quantum Solenoid about this and they told me this,

"The Lexus V8 in your vehicle has non replaceable electromechanical solenoids on the intake side and replaceable traditional solenoids on the exhaust side

Thank you

QS Customer Relations"



I asked Max from Red Bullet the same thing and he said,
"Hi Bryan,


I would suggest go with 2 on the intake 1st, if you want more performance you can add the extra 2 for the exhaust later.
The exhaust is a bit finicky to get to so the intake will be a easier fit on for getting accustomed to the installation process.

The performance will increase from 2 to 4 installation, although the intake effect is more prominent and easier to feel the difference right away.

Max"




I have a 2011 GS460. I went ahead and ordered 4 to replace them all. I'm willing to pay for any small upgrade as its hard to get any performance in these engines. I read about performance coil packs but I'm on the fence about it. Has anyone experimented with these? I was able switch out the TCU from the ISF into mine. Was eyeing a new LSD from IsF to put into mine too. Have y'all heard of any parts/knick knacks that can give performance to these engines?

The 1UR-FSE VVT-iE (Variable Valve Timing - intelligent Electric) motor utilizes an electric motor for camshaft adjustment on the intake side and a more conventional hydraulic system on the exhaust side that uses the oil control solenoid valves for adjustment of the cams.

Just wondering if you installed the Red Bullets yet and what you think of them?

@Sanac What's a new LSD from an ISF going to cost? Just asking cause there's aftermarket LSD's available for pretty cheap.
