Default corradoMR2's FPursuit Build Thread

I wanted so much to keep FPursuit stock thinking I couldn't possibly improve on the pinnacle of Lexus performance. Well, as many have demonstrated, the exhaust is a little on the quiet side and I could not agree more.

So as a first official mod, FPursuit just got a little louder thanks to a res-delete.
Pics for now, before/after video to come.

Uh oh, your first mod will lead to many more.. Good luck, I'll be making a thread on the vendor section of almost everything available for the RCF!!

Thanks. I like to make changes but try to stay as close to an OEM look as possible.

Pinnacle of Lexus performance would be the LFA. Don't get me wrong, the RCF is a great car (why I own one ) but there are still areas that can be improved on.

Here's another short video I put together - you can hear the sound difference before and after the res-delete , though hardly and difference when the car is accelerating towards you.

Here's a video of how the resonator delete sounds inside the cabin with windows up and down

Note: Car is either in Normal or Sport S (but not S+)

Hey CorradoMR2, I too like the OEM look but the res delete helps the exhaust note that I find to be too 'polite' sometimes. Not that the Infrared paint doesn't draw enough attention....

Well, you get used to eating KD and canned soup

Thanks. BTW. Infrared is a superb deep metallic red that gets its stares, but USB is still my favorite color.

I love the premium yet sporty look of the hand-polished BBS-manufactured 20-spoke Lexus OEM wheels so (for now) I don't want to get aftermarket ones. Problem is, they're too tucked in.

So spacers I got. After much research, I'm playing it safe with (pricey but) top quality made-in-Japan Eight Prince and Project Kics.

Front: 15mm Eight Prince
Rear: 11mm Project Kics
