While I think it sounds good. It doesn't sound like an LFA. Oh I love that sweet sound.

Agreed. Nice, but it's nowhere near in pitch to the LFA's banshee screams.

Sounds GREAT! Anyone figure anything out about the whole interior drone thing with this exhaust?

No exhaust will make any Lexus sounds like a LFA.
The LFA's exhaust note was tuned by Yamaha.

I don't think it sounds anything like the Lexus LFA. LFA is way too high pitched.

LFA is a V10 with a 9500 rpm rev limit so the IS would not sound anything close to the LFA due to the differences in the engine

Enjoy this merciless assault on your ears of the LFA screaming insanely hard

Sounds nothing like LFA. I don't think you've heard of LFA in person, it's a lot more high pitch very close to F1 sound.


Quick Reply: 2IS sounds like LFA !
