Talking My GS350 Fsport Mod thread

HI ALL THIS IS MY NEW GS350 FSPORT IM FROM NY, I'VE ALWAYS OWNED A BMW THIS IS MY FIRST LEXUS, SO FAR IM LOVING IT , COULD BE BETTER HERE AND THERE BUT NOTHING IS PERFECT IN THE MODDING WORLD

2014 GS350 F-sport AWD White/Cabernet


Here is the start of my modding process

Custom exhaust all i did was cut out the muffler sounds much much better in my opinion

redlining it

start up 3-5k rev

BEFORE


AFTER



VINYLED ALL CHROME ACCENTS AND FEW OTHER THINGS

BEFORE

AFTER




LOVE THE WAY THIS CHROME LOOKS IN BLACK, CHANGES THE WHOLE LOOK OF THE CAR

JOEZ INTAKE WITH DROP IN K&N FILTER


i also did some other little things here and there
HARDWIRED V1 RADAR
REAR TURN SIGNAL RED TINT


UPDATE 5/29
RSR SUPERDOWN LOWERD TODAY

BEFORE

AFTER

BEFORE

BEFORE GAP


AFTER GAP


BEFORE REAR

AFTER REAR

RANDOM PICS I TOOK




I LOVE HOW THE RSR SUPERDOWN SPRINGS LOOK AND FEEL ON THIS CAR . ITS A LITTLE MORE OF A STIFF FEELING TO THE CAR, BUT I LIKE THAT IT GIVES IT MORE OF A SPORTY FEEL.
I WILL GET A ALIGNMENT AFTER 200 MILES ,AND WILL POST A PIC OF THE SPECS HERE.

NOW FOR THE WHEELS UGH ITS SUCH A HARD CHOICE....


I CANT DECIDE ON WHEELS I WANT SOME VOSSEN CV7'S BUT SOMETHING KEEPS HOLDING ME BACK TO PULL THE TRIGGER LOL..

IF YOU GUYS HAVE SOME IDEAS THROW THEM AT ME IM LOOKING FOR WHEELS LIKE I SAID

THANKS ALL HOPE YOU ENJOY THE PICS AND VID

that should be pretty loud now, since the muffler cuts most of the noise out, just like gotink said sounds good, but there must be a drone in the car.

Not much drone at speed ,overall you have to remember our cars have like two cats and also a resonator and then a muffler... So takeing off the muffler...I thought did justice .. Like any other exhaust you have to expect a little bit of drone even Joez exhaust has a drone and that's $1500 (not hateing on joez btw) I'll post a in cabin vid soon

How about deleting 1st cat and the resonator.Thenput and put an X pipe in place of resonator and run it out to stocks mufflers.I think that'll will be the sweet spot/sound.. Make sure you run bigger pipe size for the midsection and Xpipe until you get to the stock exhausts. I think this will sound good and looks clean.replacing that mid pipe will give you that growl sound.and having the stock mufflers on, will keep drone down to a minimum..
Just my 2 cents!!!
here's mine with Invidia full cutback system.

only mid pipe on ::

i myself was going to do the resonators only.. but thats connected to the x pipe which would be a ***** to change lots of cut and welding you will see what i mean when you look under there ... but try it out you never know might get that sound of a sexy v8

i see what your saying but getting rid of first cat would probably set the check engine light off and that won't go away till o2sensor is back in original cat

That muffler delete you got sounds a lot better then what i expected it to sound. I was thinking about getting either that or a resonator delete, didnt know which one. I don't really like how it sounds in higher RPM's tho, 4k+ sounds too raspy and too cheap for a car of its class imo

i need somebody to take the risk and get a resonator delete

i know what you mean i don't like the high rpms that much also ....but it better than waiting for someone to do it. that hardly happens here lol. but if some one does decide to do it and sounds better, I'm more than willing to put my mufflers back on and take out only the resonators. lmk if you see someone who has or will be doing it
