Default Performance upgrade options for the 350

Hi CL! I just recently joined the RC350 F club a few weeks back and this is actually my first post, lol. This is the first car that I've paid for with my own money, and I'm fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to make it a Lexus. Glad to be part of this great community.

Yesterday I ordered a Takeda Cold Air Intake and I'm hoping to get a couple more HP and Torque gains out of my engine. Does anyone have any suggestions on performance exhaust options for the 350? I know there are a ton available but I'm mostly interested in performance gains over anything else. Obviously not looking to void my warranty just yet, so a tune is out of the question. But a few bolt-ons here and there are definitely do-able for me.

Hi, and welcome to the club. I've already installed the Takeda CAI and love it. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rc-...0-f-sport.htmlhttps://www.clublexus.com/forums/rc-...0-f-sport.html


You could do a Tanabe strut tower brace for under $150 as that will help with the front end being stiffer for cornering.

I haven't done an exhaust yet, as they are either too expensive or don't make the car sound any better, but that is IMHO.

I've had the ARK catback for about a month and it is absolutely EARGASMIC! I get a lot of compliments about how great it sounds and nonstop stares. Get the burnt tips if you do they're beautiful .

Congrats on the car!

The Ark Performance exhaust is a good option for power gains. Also the intake is another way. Let me know if you want a price for the Ark

Sorry I am going to piggy back on this also... can you PM me the cost for the exhaust setup also? Do you also carry the RSR coilovers for the AWD? If so can you do the same? thank you!
