1999 LS400 100% Custom Dual Exhaust

[puredrifter]

Hola everybody, most of you guys don't know me (i lurk more than post here) but im pretty active on ClubLexus and somewhat active on VSC (when its up ) but thought id pop in to share my custom exhaust

this isnt the current setup of the car (video was taken ~2months ago) and my little digicamera sucks at video (used my point and shoot for this) so the video sounds a little raspy and the beginning has wind noise, but you get the idea

specs:
1999 Lexus LS400 4.0L 1UZ-FE VVT-i
-Handmade Dual 2.25" piping from the cats back.
-X-Pipe
-Magnaflow Mufflers
-Custom tips
-Custom bumper cutouts

the only original pieces left in the exhaust are the cats (OEM cats flow better than most aftermarket since they are metal substrate ) and the headers (since CA emissions SUCK!)

and yes, the tips are a Love it or Hate it style - I love them

Excellent!

Do you have any undercar pictures?

 

[puredrifter]

Lol i thought this screenname was familiar. I lurk on clublexus and vsc as well. Were ther any signifigant gains power and torque wise?

 

[RedPhoenix]

Sounds good man.

Ursus: im not sure, there was a gain but most likely it wasnt that much (no dyno before or after)

the response, however, improved dramatically

 

[Ursus]

awesome and i love the tips too and it sounds like a v8 should. How loud is the exhaust note inside the car?

Please give details. In what way was response improved?

dude whats up w/ those tips?? The sound is sweet, just enough roar... but seriously man, those belong on a 97' Jetta or GTI or something "european" of that nature, dude I had dual canisters on my LS... tucked them real nice and high in the bumper and it had a very similar sound. Retrodrive has the same setup... I think he has an exhaust clip somewhere :33:
