Default What exhaust system sounds most like the LC 500?

I had a 2010 Lexus IS F that I sold. I知 getting a 2018 RC F soon. On my Lexus IS F my exhaust setup was the X Force exhaust with the mufflers taken off. It sounded 90% like the LC 500 but it was louder. I want the same sound on my RC F that I値l be getting soon. Has anyone achieved this? Thanks.

In my opinion, RR racing bazooka would have a similar thick tone and heavy bass like the LC500, but with the valves opened, it isclouder. Post pictures of your RCF when you get it.

This is how my Invidia sounds. It is definitely on the quieter side, but I absolutely love it. It sounds more sophisticated and more melodic. Less brutal and more on the refined tone/pitch side.

The bazooka is $3k compared to the $900 that I paid for my IS F exhaust! Lol. I watched your video earlier haha. It sounds decent. How much louder would you say your exhaust is over stock exhaust?

Bazooka is a high quality exhaust with valves open/close option so it is definitely going to cost quite a bit. For quite cheap, you can also go resonator delete, secondary cat delete and if you don't mind some drone then muffler delete would be the way to go.

Regarding loudness of my exhaust, roughly about 25% louder. It is just about the right loudness. I am a 40 year old guy with wife and two small children. I just don't think super loud exhausts suit me so this exhaust really fits well with that and it goes well with the looks of the car. Also, car feels significantly quicker through out the rev range, which is another big plus.

Hah reminds me of my son recording videos with his finger over the lens. My concern is drone if I were to get an exhaust, but prob gonna hold off.

There is ZERO drone in my case. I don't say that lightly when I say zero drone. It literally means under no circumstances. Maybe, a little bit when you lug the engine hard in a very tall gear uphill, but that is more of a driver error than the exhaust.
