probably 300% louder including cabin drone. So yea, it gets a bit drony just under 2000 RPM.

Found out a way to reduce the drone. Drive at higher revs. haha.

No wonder Danny never complaint. :)

it sounds gd mate.

i hv the same exhaust (Greddy SE) as u. just curious if you have noticed the day/night difference after installing the midpipe? both noise/performance wise plz........

same day/night sound performance. However it's quieter when engine is cold after each startup.

Here's mine after 800+km. Sorry no before and after clips.

Thanks KYO for revving ! :)

ah Zed. I remember you now. The one with the gold IS ! :)

I reckon the matt red and dark bonnet, roof and boot looks hot.

I might leave the backside bit (around the tail lights) matt red and just have the top of the boot wrapped in cf or matt black.

Yeap will try to make it.

Got my midpipes fitted at Lexus of Chatswood for $143 bucks.

Danny, Chris, now I know what you mean. Greddy + Invidia midpipes sounds soooo chewbaccarish !! No idle drone, slight bassy drone just under 2000rpm.

Very very happy.

LOL !

Zed, you Dennis?

Nice. Thanks Kyo for organising! Can't wait.

haha. Thanks Danny. Looks like I'll be getting myself some midpipes too ! W00t !

man, it's been a long time since I've posted anything.

Super keen to join the meet if there's going to be one. Keen to hear the new mid pipes!

Sorry, LEXIS, I've read several of your post expressing how much you miss your Greddy SE. Was so close selling it back to you. :)

Hi PRV, fortunately for me, LEX51S fitted mine. We used the same gasket and did not have any problems. Did you get the new Greddy SE with or without blue tips?

Ooooo let us know how it goes.

You'll love the Fsport intake. Perhaps a cruise soon ? lol.

hey zbad007, have you tried playing the 5.1 dolby version of Hotel California via the Eagles DVD as a comparison? I play it all the time in mine with my ML audio system and I find the bass just fine. Aren't high end subwoofers (including home theatre ones) suppose to sound like that without drowning out with too much bass?

pm sent

thanks guys. might get addictive like tattoos. haha

hey guys, just got my bonnet / hood and grill wrapped with 3M carbon fibre. Previously had the grill wrapped but it was bubbling up so decided to get it professionally done. Carbon Demon did a perfect job. Here are some pics they took for their website:

I love it. Nice and subtle.

hey Lexus Nerd. I feel your pain. First I had a cracked rear bumper and then another time, I had it grazed at the side. i can't seem to escape from these !@$^&^# drivers.

Didn't bother fixing it as I fear i might happen again soon after its fixed.

Do let us know how you go with the paint job.

Hey Cevu, I'm in.

Are we convoying from your place to Hickson Reserve ?

lol. Yea, pretty impressed with my bum dyno.

Thanks guys for your input.

I didn't really ask in detail how they performed the reset. Most probably like what Atlantis and ilv1004s said, via battery disc.

Perhaps a good habit to disc the battery each time we perform a mod? If anyone else tries this, do confirm the results.

Has anyone retuned their cars after changing their exhaust ?

I've got a Greddy exhaust and it sounded great however got a little bit drony when it hits 4th gear. I found it had a loads of torque in 1st and 2nd, but tends to lose momentum when in 4th. I pretty much got used to it. Then recently I sent my car to Lexus of Chatswood to replace the disc brakes and they apparently reset my engine / ECU and as a result , no more drone and power is even all through the gears !

I immediately felt the difference and couldn't be happier. Enquired with Lexus and apparently the engine had to re-learn ? (maybe someone can help explain) My engine was too used to just my F-Sport filter and after 100,000km+ it needed a reset to adapt to the new exhaust. (Didn't know there was such thing??)

Anyway, thought I'd share this with those who have modified their exhaust or planning to do so. Bring it to Lexus to get it reset !

Is this sound coming from the rear?

What's the part number on your springs? Apparently there was a version that had some noise issues. Let me know while I try to look for mine.

Dang! Have to miss another cruise.

Wont be in Sydney that weekend. Have fun all, and will look forward to the pics.

Nice find on the videos. The quad pipes sounds better than the first. First one somehow doesnt have the v6 growl.
