Lexus LS430 almost fully straight piped - The most aggressive sounding Lexus ever! 

You should’ve just got a rebuilt transmission because the engine would probably keep going

What year was it?

Even at 300,000 miles transmissions going out is rare.

@@Mabeylater293 fr I know some ppl irl that has around 400k on their ls430 and still going strong

I had an 03 ls430 go for 337k miles and still driving good

The good ol days

No way

@@Aqua350Lt1 Hey, I was here first- you're stalking *me*

@@BuckeyeBallistics bro what

@@Aqua350Lt1 Are you pretending you don't know me or are you just that lost? Idk what "no way" is supposed to mean other than "now way we both watched the same video," because you know me, "bro."

These 3k GS300s now going for 5-6k, crazy

how much did u pay for it and what year if u dont mind me asking

@@skydyleyw0037 I paid $7,000 for a 130,000 mile 2004 LS430 standard package without the navigation and air suspension during the early start of Covid19. The engine was leaking in 2 lower oil pans and the top gaskets. I repaired all except 1 of the lower oil pans that require the steering rack to be removed. I also had to replace the starter which is a $1,000 job(did it myself). And also replace a passenger front door lock motor and window regulator. I swapped out the trunk latch as it was not closing well. Apart from that, it's been trouble free. Everything works except the side mirrors as they were damaged. I had to get some body work and painting done for side, front and rear. Overall I put in a total of around $10k when including repairs.

@@SI0AX thats pretty good id say thanks for your insight 👌🏽

@@SI0AX i just got a 02 ultra lux package for 9.5 grand

What are the wheels that he has?????

I agree I need it hahaha

What size tube you use?

@@fcsavanna12112.25” piping. Sorry for the really late reply

@@fcsavanna12112 1/4 inch piping. Sorry for the really late reply

Love to hear it! Original trans too?

Keep the miles off that E39 and keep it forever!

There’s many out there for sale, get one!

What's the exhaust setup?

I’ve seen that channel and have noticed that! And then sometimes they’ll talk over the exhaust sound which really annoys me lol. Also wish they would show what it sounds like inside the car.

Me too, wish I could have heard your SS at C&O!

@@AlexGray let’s do a video on it!

I’m 110% down, that would be badass. Just let me know when and where!

@@AlexGray I’m down for whenever

@@mitchelldolan9014 what’s your schedule usually like?

Coilovers bro

Glad I could help 😃

The M45s are BADASS!!! They are sleepers and they’re insanely quick.. they blow the doors of an LS, but the LS gon ride you out for 300k miles , the infiniti probably won’t

Correct

Sorry for the late reply, it was at Cherokee muffler in Canton

Varrstoen Wheels ES2s

He just sold it unfortunately :(

2.5” I believe

Like good enough not to wake up your neighbors lol

245/40/18 with 9.5s in the front and the rears are 255/40/18 stretched with 10.5s

How much were they before? And you predict them ever coming down lol

18x9.5 in the front and 18x10.5 in the back

Hell yeah man glad the video helped!

Black on black is badass

No mufflers

Just the resonators and mufflers

I would start with a muffler delete and see how you like that

Ironically a Ultra Luxury model just sold on cars and bids yesterday for $30,350. It had 37k miles.

@@AlexGray Say What! 30K!!!

That Lexus reliability comes at a price 😄

@@AlexGray just picked up a non air ride luxury package with 50k on it one owner. Bought it off a 96 yr old couple that had it serviced at the Sewell they bought it from. Stole it for 15k😎

Just got 2006 70k miles all dealer serviced pearl white for $12k - epic cars. IYKYK

Good idea 😎

@@AlexGray 🤝😎

No man he just straight up had them removed and a straight pipe welded in place, no ECU remapping or anything. I feel like Borla has always had the slight edge in quality over Flowmaster but that’s just my opinion, you can’t go wrong with either as these V8s sound really good.

@AlexGray - Awesome; thanks man, I’ll keep you posted 👍🏼

@@ralphlazio505 Please do, you’ll love it!

If you have the money, check out Quantum Auto for a remap. You can make the car a lot better just from flashing while keeping everything stock because the stock and most of the gain is from remapping the transmission logic to make it respond quicker and wake it up.

Varrstoen es2, they're 18x9.5 in the front and 18x10.5 in the back

@@AlexGray do you have the offset by chance?

The tip size?

Yes

You can buy a pinstripe kit and install yourself

@@AlexGray forreal. Man. Thank for the info. This is your car or your friends

Great motor 🐐

@@AlexGray I wish I can straight pipe my dad's GS430 lol (still leaving the cats in place)

I know he’s on springs because he said he’s getting coilovers next. Yeah the sound is completely unsuspected coming from this, it’s badass.

Damn that’s a hell of a swap, these didn’t come with a manual in the States. They may have in Japan and maybe it was imported or he just had it swapped

Removed

??????! I need answers

@@tybe7672 I did alittle research and possibly found the brand. Vordoven Forme 10.

@@lamboy1227 Sorry for the late response guys… Varrstoen ES2 18x9.5 in the front and 18x10.5 in the rear

Or the Ls400. they all seem comfortable and bulletproof asf I just wanted some insight from an owner not a lot of comparison videos on here I can find

@@itshasselhoff7735 if you can, try to find a first gen ls400 (1990-1994). most bulletproof out of the bunch.

@@calebsoaps3833 95-97 model years are very good, with tweaks and upgrades from the earlier models.

I didn’t hear any drone when I was in it with the owner but we also didn’t take it down the highway. It’s a well insulated car though so probably minimal for this setup.

how much for a right fender and shipping to usa

I’m interested in them 👀

@@reggieb5324 you won't regret it, its fun to drive in even when you don't feel like driving.

@@reignmund7584 oh no I’m saying I’m interested in the lights lol I’m already buying one in two weeks 🤣

I am interested as well

Sorry for the late reply, he did it at Cherokee muffler in Canton, GA
