I have had the Sun Automobile HyperVoltage System (MR or Multirange version) ($188 USD) in my RX300 since late last year. CL provider L-Tuned Parts sells them and that's where I got mine.

I eventually settled on putting the HyperVoltage on top of my Optima Red Top after experimenting with putting it where my air box used to be. I also found better to have the cables for the HyperVoltage attached on top instead of the side terminals as exist on the Optima.

The picture you see is the present configuration. I also bought the HyperGround System as shown though I think that Monster Cable would probably work just as well.

The result:

Well as many of you know, I run my little RX in the 1/4 mile every weekend.

1. Much better throttle response. My 60 foot times are more consistent than before.
2. Continued acceleration at higher RPM. In the last 200 meters of the race, I noticed I can better accelerate in the higher range of the RPM and overtake some vehicles I couldn't before.
3. Lights are a little brighter inside and out
4. The bass is much more crisp in the sound system
5. Initially, I thought the MPG got a little bit better, but tough to tell since I have done a ton of mods that just love to eat the gas (but I win )

There are a couple of other systems such as the Kazama Auto Voltage, Buddy Club Racing Spec Condenser and my second choice, the A'PEXi Super Grounding System. HKS also has the Circle Earth, but that is more of a grounding wire system. Stillen makes a grounding system, too, from my recollection.

I consider this a wise investment, though probably buying an Optima Red Top Battery or other dry cell of your choice (they can fit in a Lexus even if they state no application exists) would probably be the first route and 1/2 the price of the HyperVoltage if you get it like at Costco or somewhere.

If you are going to get the HyperVoltage, get the MR, it's not that much more in price.

If you want any more info on the mods let me know.
