Terrrrry Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Lol no you're crazy man Was heaps of fun though, gotta do it again sometime - your exhaust if FKN HECTIC lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish i could say the same about the exhaust from inside the car. to stop the "normal" driving drone i either have to put stock midpipes back on, or spend 400 bucks on a cross over exhaust in the mid pipes. or drive with revs always over 2500 rpm.

elmarko Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 LEX51S would be keen to hear how you go with your exhaust. I've just added some Magnaflow universal cans with 4" tips and this setup is borderline for noise some of the time - really just under load (eg. up hill from a stop) in either 1st or 2nd and between 2500-2900 rpm. Outside of these conditions and with the F Sport intake the sound is pretty handy - has certainly impressed work buddies I've had along for rides occasionally. Was the crossover in the midpipe recommended by an exhaust shop? Would be keen to do the same but at $400 would want to be sure it would actually knock the rough edges off.

Yeah it was recomended by an exhaust shop. well known custom exhaust shop in sydney. although just putting back my OEM mid pipes will do the same (noise wise). for increased power by leaving it all on. the $$ for the crossover will solve it. im not interestedin spending the xtra money cutting into my just purchased mids for an extra couple KW. s i love the sound the invidia mids make. it would be a great compliment to an IS with oem mid pipes.

elmarko Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Yes, cut off the rear mufflers and simply welded Magnaflows and tips in place ie. all pipes are stock. Did this because I was super keen not to end up with something too loud and totally un-Lexus like. Given the result it just shows how much noise the stock rear mufflers cancel out. Sounds and prob is a bit ghetto for a Lexus but was a very cost effective way of getting sound down low which you don't get with just an intake. Sound is great about 90% of the time except under conditions as described. I'm actually in Melb. Sadly we don't yet have the IS owner's fraternity you Sydney boys seem to be enjoying at the moment - would love to hook up with owners in Melbourne if anyone interested.
