Question Noisy Engine
Has anyone come up with an aftermarket product to replace the extremely noisy direct injectors on the 303 horsepower engine.
Lexus Corporation has no fix to quiet the direct injectors which makes it sound as if you have noisy valves.

welcome to clublexus

the unofficial fixes would be
1) roll up all your windows
2) crank up the audio

j/k. but yeah, it's normal per lexus so nothing is being done

The V8 on my GS460 is the noisiest of all the Lexus cars I have driven. The previous V8's used to be so quiet. Somehow this V8 is not! I'm not complaining though!

And my car is EFI.
