Default 2017 Lexus RC 300 Tuned *Supercharger*

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to let everyone know that i am currently at RR Racing.

I am getting there Tune, PPE Headers, Carbon Intake, and K&N Air filter. I wanted to get the Ark grip exhaust but it is on backorder for about two months.

Since the 300 and the 350 have the same engine it is just detuned. I am excited to see what the tune and hp gains are. Also they have made a supercharge for the IS 350 so within a few more weeks there will be a supercharger for the RC 300/350 !!!!

Sounds promising. Would love to hear your thoughts on the headers once installed.

As one of our members put in another post who had an oil issue with his car (I looked for the post and cant find it, he was in Canada if I remember right). He had done an exhaust mod to the car...which the dealer was stating his warranty was void due to the mods. I would be very wary of any mods that the dealer could state voids the warranty.

I would wait to see what numbers this makes though on each application once its released and then check cost to valuate your decision better. I thought I heard somewhere these cars were impossible to do FI on safely....it will def void any warranty. Still I'm interested!

I'd love to do this once my lease expires in July 2019 - I wouldn't have to look for a new car. I love everything about the RC (minus the original infotainment screen) but always felt it need a bit more ooomph!
