I'm the owner of this RC and no, there are no issues with taking it to Lexus service without mufflers. I have down so twice already and no issues. The only thing that the Lexus folks mention is that it sounds like it looks. Nothing but compliments.

Cool seeing my video posted here.

I took my mufflers off today...for about 10 minutes...seriously, do you want it to sound like a backyard commodore (not sure what to compare it to outside of Australia). yeah sure, while full noise sounds good, the rest is beyond bad.
The only answer is a tried and tested system I think.

So I went with a slightly different configuration than Muffler Delete. Just removed the mufflers and replaced them with Magnaflow PN: 11366 $350.00 Total Install.

Strait through design:


With a slight S curve:

EOM next to Magnaflow:


Cut-Off /Weld-On point: ($40.00 to replace OEM Exhaust if needed)


No Muffler Sound Clip:

Almost Completed:



Final result Sound Clip:

Overall I love it. Not as loud as open pipe, but has a slight drone uphill at low RPM.
The coolest thing about it is when I downshift it is near silent with a slight growl rather than a loud winning sound as from OEM.

That sounds really good, what made you go with that particular muffler from magna flow as opposed to another?

Radical350

Researched and considered the common leading brands and chose Magnaflow for several reasons:
These were a great size match for our model.
They are strait-thru design, to retain some volume. As most others have internal chambers, fins, or baffling and often loss of volume as a result.
Reasonably priced, with a reputation for quality.
Very happy with the mod.

Gahh I can't honestly deciede on a muffler delete or the Joe Z Axleback Exhaust

I like the burnt tips that are shows on the ARK exhaust. Is there a way to burn the Joe Z exhaust tips?

Joe Z is too quiet. I have heard it. I chose muffler delete.

I am so F'ing happy with it, it makes me sick.

I custom made one so my lease is easy to change back.

Bought a stock axleback from an IS350 for $100 shipped, then bought tips (mine were $100 shipped for quad tips) -- You can CHOOSE burnt tips if you prefer like you said, there is a thread in here or this thread with links to burnt tips... I chose the 4" tips as they fill the back nicely. and then piping materials and install labor was another $250... so $450 for everything and car sounds BAD ***. No drone on highway, and perfect volume. I have Fsport exhaust on 2015 IS 350 and its way too quiet, Joe Z is similar.

When car goes back, I take this custom axleback exhaust off, and put stock one on, and I will sell it here. I know I will get my entire $450 back too because its a bolt on solution once I take off and sell it.

Here is a pic:

I can't seem to find the link in this thread about the quad exhaust tips. Do you think you can find them?

I think I may go with the muffler delete option. So many people that has done the muffler delete has love the sound so far.

I might be jumping into an RCF next week. If that happens my bolt on axleback "muffler delete" will be for sale.

let me know!

Do any of these aftermarket exhausts have any performance benefit, or all of these just for more aggressive sound?

Did you black out your lights with tint or is that just a black and white video?
Also could you post how it sounds in cabin? Thanks
