Im glad you like it. This Throttle Controller is truly worth every penny. There is absolutely no lag when you press the pedal anymore. You will not want to drive it in any other way once you have it on sport+ on the car and intense (red) mode on the controller. Wakes up my RCF big time.

Hey FR500GT, so did you in essence cut out the old muffler and ran a straight pipe which connected to the dual tips ?

Instead of cutting your muffler out and putting a straight pipe to tips. You could just do a custom bolt on straight pipe to tips from the resonator. This way you could have your stock exhaust if you want to put it back on or sell. This is what I did.

PirelliRC

That is a good idea, so you just disconnected the stock muffler from the resonator and install a straight pipe to the tips ? No welding needed ?

Yes. Just disconnect the stock axleback and have a new one made. If you can find a spare RC350/IS250/IS350 axleback, you can use that to help build a custom unit. That is exactly what I did.

Yes. Only welding was the tips to the straight pipe and flanges at the other end. I did it at a shop called Mike's Muffler in El Monte. He basically got a 2 1/4" pipe and shaped it like the stock exhaust, welded the tips, welded the flanges on the other end and bolted it onto the resonator.

I just got back from the muffler shop, did the muffler delete and kept the stock tips, it sounds absolutely AMAZING! Im very thrilled with the outcome, thank you so much guys for the advice. Ill make a new thread with photos and and ill try to get a video. I dont want to hi jack FR500GT's thread,

Here is a nice cold start video that I took before heading out to the Lexus of Riverside meet:

I'm very impressed by the sound.
Can you do some cruising vids? Just normal driving mainly interior please.

Thanks

Hey FR500GT, Did you hook up the throttle controller to the back up lamp as suggested? If so, which wire did you tie into?

Thanks

RickHansen

Why do you want it to sound like that at idle? Fair enough, when you are up it, but at idle and around town I reckon something between standard and that would be great but that sounds like a boy racer car, sorry

I'm confused...

Is this a response to someone?

I looked into it and most people did not bother to connect the back up wire so I did the same. The car reverses just fine!
