Thumbs up RMI Scoops, ISS QES, Joe-Z Installed

Hey guys.

Recently ordered an ISS QES exhaust system & rmi scoops from ISS & joe-z intake and toms filter from vip autosalon. i received great service

installing the scoops took about 45 minutes, mixed and matched random washer combinations and didn't torque the driver's side bolts all the way, but still secure

installed joe-z tube & filter afterwards, very clean

ISS QES installed with my father on a lift, jackstands are scary











& and s4play diffuser installed while the car was on the lift too

I also "reset the ecu" by unplugging the negative terminal of the battery and let it sit disconnected for half an hour. don't know if that's how you do it on Lexus, but I had to reset all the windows motors and time, so in my mind, ecu reset

huge difference in performance. couldn't resist, 95, clear road, 11:30 at night, punched it from the top of 2nd gear at around 55, WOW.
noticeable difference.

sound of the exhaust breaks necks, one expects an f350 pickup and then a lexus pulls up

very happy and satisfied, no problems with install, and drone isn't THAT bad

Thanks guys, this car is amazing
Not to mention, after the exhaust, I noticed an increase in mpg
After all was installed, power + economy increased, best of both worlds
I'm at 38k miles now, want to do headers after warranty expires

I like your setup, that is probably the same way I am going to go with everything - except I havent really made my mind up yet on an exhaust. I want to hear a QES in person, all the Youtube vids are either distorted or windy

Sound is superb
If anyone is deciding on an exhaust and would like to hear it out, I'm in the Philadelphia area and would gladly help you out on the decision.

I can actually afford the headers right now, I just think it will be too much

I contacted VJ here, Fitment Factory.

Asked to order a qes exhaust and scoops, and I was sent a cc form, filled out, and shipped.
I messaged VIP auto salon on here, forgot the representative, called in and ordered filter/intake on the phone.

All very easy and shipping time was appropriate
