Love this production quality and love this exhaust. I’m thinking about an exhaust for my IS350. Didn’t know you could get a valve controller one for a decent price! Great content
Even though you’re not 100% done, that’s an amazing job! It sounds really good with the valves open. I’m sure it sounds nice and quiet when cruising with the valves closed
Watchung Marty customize his IS 350 makes me want to get an IS250 or 350 because my first car was a 2006 is 250 in 2018. I was 19 and we were closing the family dealer. Now I drive a prius and I'm worried it won't survive the winter haha. I'm really tempted but gas keeps going up and the Lexus takes premium.
Been following you for a long time back when you had the old IS supper cool to see the production quality and car mods getting better! Especially on this platform! Keep up the good content brother
If you up you exhaust pipe diameter you'll get a deeper sound with a bit less rasping. That's what I did on my IS250, world of difference! And for all the people watching if you go on eBay you can find the electronic valve controlled exhaust, (just the mufflers), for around $320!! Then the 2.5" pipe is another $180
Nice upgrade man! I have the Xforce Varex on my iSF paired with PPE headers and it definitely makes the car very easy to live with. Nearly 2 years on mine and I open and close it every day, no issues. For a "cheap" exhaust it's actually held up very well compared to the horror stories I've heard of QTP cutouts an other valved exhausts. One thing I would mention, try to get some various footage of the car open say 1, 2, 3 clicks. I find myself liking 2 clicks open the most for a good bark but minimal drone/attention.
I will have to play around with the clicks! I mostly did fully open or fully closed, but halfway opens up a whole new world. Of course my car is very raspy compared to yours
I love the concept, i dont like the sound. Still cant wait to see some runs in this car. You make me wanna do stuff to my IS. Keep up the good content man 👌🏼
@@MartyMotoring i like the ark grip and invidia exhaust's for this car. It fits the cars character. And yes thats what i was thinking, for your exhaust having a valve it mos def sounds less aggressive.
Excellent content Marty I'm very impressed with how organized and straightforward it is. You've followed through with all of your ambitious goals so far. Thanks alot for your hard work
Great video, it is coming along you must be very excited to see your build come to life. I only have 91 octane out west but I still plan on SC my RC 350 F sport. Thank you for doing these videos and reping Lexus Where is that lift a parking garage?
Well that raspiness is because I have Catless headers, so no restriction. This will sound totally different on a normal IS350 without a supercharger or headers
Completely off topic but how was the magic drift side skirts on your black is350? I see they was on in some videos from two years ago then see they are no longer on in videos from only a years ago. Did they warp bad or something? I like the look of them and thinking of pulling the trigger just don’t know if they are going to sag in a month and look cheap. Hope to hear back from ya.
Have you gotten your car redynoed after switching to the true dual set up ? I would like to see the difference in power since the true dual is less restrictive. 😃
Tbh I didn’t like how raspy it is. I’m going to do a similar exhaust setup on my IS250 but I plan on making it a true dual custom cat back with valvetronic mufflers so it might a little similar I guess we’ll have to see
Thank you for getting a new camera. I like your content but I get nauseas very easily. The camera stability allows me to watch your videos without taking breaks. Awww its unstable after the 5 min mark :/
I’m not sure what you mean since I’ve had the same camera (Sony A7iii) for over a year now. I change the lenses and use a tripod sometimes, but usually it’s handheld.
@@MartyMotoring If you can make the videos stable like a tripod would standing still. There is too much hand motion when recording via handheld. A Gimbal would really help and be much appreciated :)
Do you need to re-tune it? Nice exhaust. How did you find out about the extra wide band sensor being needed? RR Racing? Also, does anyone know of any Lexus tuners near Philly, besides RR Racing? Like rebuild, exhaust, etc. tuning. ?
Thanks! Nope, no need to retune since my old exhaust was already setup this way when I did the supercharger. RR Racing recommend the wide band/boost gauge when I was buying my SC kit. It added $319 to the total.
@@MartyMotoring good to know. thank you. I'm trying to figure out if the Tacoma Magnuson supercharger can be put on the IS350 engine. Same engine, maybe different tunes.
Depends who you ask lol. My headers don’t have cats, but most performance cars don’t. It passed inspection. As far as the XFORCE exhaust, that is all completely street legal and fine. I bought my car with the Catless headers and it’s a pain to try and change them out lol
@@MartyMotoring I'm pretty sure X-force don't sell a single true dual catback for any vehicle. 2:42 it's pretty clear that there's a welded cut in the middle of the two pipes. I chopped up my X-force exhaust on my v6 commodore and my X pipe looks exactly like that. Furthermore the diameter of where the weld is isn't 2x the diameter of the piping. And you can even hear the characteristic trumpety sound that an X-pipe makes... It's even in the name: 'X'-force. They sell X-pipes, I don't think I've seen them sell anything else. Could u give us the part number? I'm still not sure im right.
We designed the system for use with standard cat pipes and recommend it used that way. The supercharger and catless pipes do change the sound characteristics significantly so that does need to be taken into account.
