No BS - I just slapped a $21 offbrand dual muffler from Amazon (it had a small dent so like 75% off) on mine in the place of the secondary cat and replumbed the entire thing with 2.5” stainless just as a temporary fix but it sounds as good as this one if not slightly better! I think I’m going to put electric cutouts in just before the stock mufflers so I can have that Lexus silence restored 95% of the time but when I’m feeling noisy I can enjoy the sound of that wonderful quad cam V8. The 3S-GTE has always been my weapon of choice and the UCF20 is just my DD but who says you can’t have some fun with simple bolt-ons? (The *REAL* trick is avoiding the urge to install the two fresh RC CT-26 Turbos I have laying around from older swaps/turbo upgrades I performed for my friend’s ST-185’s! Each one is meant for a 2.0L 4cyl so one per bank should perform nicely on the V8’s slightly abbreviated powerband as compared to the RC 3S’s 8kRPM redline.) 😈 For weekends and track days I have my hand built ST-205 WRC but for respectability at the office I have the LS - but my drive home is a super-twisty rural road and sometimes you just want to have fun! BTW if you’re wondering, the slight decrease in bottom end torque merely resulted in less flashing of the traction control light from a dead stop with no discernible decrease in actual speed off the line. The top end throughout each gear feels like it plateaus at a higher RPM with a modest increase in HP but a longer useable powerband. I have two DECADES plus of dyno tuning experience with several of the GT4 builds I’ve done as well as a few Supras of the MKII-MKIV varieties so it’s not inexperienced butt-dyno estimates- it’s *EXPERIENCED* butt-dyno estimates 🤣
