^^^ My thoughts now are Armytrix will not be making any new units. PPE has also stopped making their dual mode exhaust due to low demand. Our LCs are a special car w low production numbers. I'm happy for the aftermarket part support we do have. Waiting to pull the trigger on a purchase may not work out; besides, parts aren't getting any more affordable.

But I still smile every time I look out the door into the garage and see that Infrared LC.

The stock exhaust on the LC500 is already pretty damn good, so unless you’re chasing a specific tone or volume, most mods won’t feel worth it. If you’re set on changing it, look into straight-through mufflers or full systems from reputable brands. Just be ready to spend. Also, make sure your OBD scanner can handle any tuning that might come with it, in case you need to clear codes or monitor performance.

Robby-the-Robot in the 50's classic film Forbidden Planet was programed not to kill. ElectronicControlModules AKA EngineControlModules known as ECM's are not to my knowledge so inclined.
