If they made one to further muffle the stock sound without any power loss, I'd be interested in that....

I'd like a little more growl on WOT. I don't see this listed any where on Sewell. Part number?

I would be on board for that.

What is Lexus doing. At first I liked the fact that Toyota's new chairman wanted to get back to making sporty cars but now I think he is taking it too far. I can understand pumping in some intake sound in the cabin of the LFA but the LS is not an LFA.

i wonder how hard it is to install and what impact it has on your warranty?

Also some of the e55 owners I know modify the exhaust to get a richer sound. there is a thread here... it is called:

?!? ls460 exhaust options ?!? if you search for it.

I hope this is the link:

Looks like its plug and play part!. I don't think it will impact the warranty. Since it;s Factory OEM Design by F-SPORT and Manufactured by Toyota Motor Corp. BTW, LSin75033, can you please upload a short video clip when installation completed.
