Simply disconnecting the valve for the baffle on the stock exhaust will only either give you closed or open setting and will only give you the sound from the OEM Sport+ S mode if completely open. It will not achieve the same result as the Tom's Titan exhaust. Meaning, the Tom's has a completely different design and diameter which has a different sound completely. There are a few videos demonstrating the Sport+ S open OEM exhaust Vs. the Tom's Titan it's considerable in difference. Also the Tom's will actually make more power as well.
Yes I obviously understand that and I had no thoughts or expectations other than achieving the S+ sound all of the time and at any speed. I choose to keep my cars 100% original, so opened baffles is as far as I would be tempted to go.
Where did you get the aero kit from? Also what did it run and did you do the install yourself?
Hi! The kit was purchased from Apex-I USA in California. They're the only authorized US dealer in the country for Tom's Japan. I had a body shop install the kit for me.
MSRP lists at $11,500 full kit
Currently they are running a special with 15% off so about $9800 shipped.

Curious. Are you just reselling from Apexi? As far as I know Apex-I USA is the only authorized dealer for The Official Tom's Japan. Odd how you would be getting one in. Chinese knock-off?

Apexi is not the only authorized dealer of Toms Japan. There are other dealers in the United States as well as other countries.
But to answer your question, we do get the Toms LC500 kit from Apexi.
As a follow-up to comments already exchanged on this thread, I disconnected my OEM exhaust baffles which now remain in full open position by default. I am now getting maximum OEM noise in all driving modes and at all speeds. NO codes or lights.
Just received Atomic Silver LC with Performance Pkg. two days ago. Did two night trip , 200 hundred miles. While I have two other GT's this is impressive. Power and chassis perfectly matched, great tech. , comfortable seats, ride, sound, etc. Gave several rides and informed a lot of interested people. A great two lane track car.

Where did you get the mirror carbon fiber caps from or are they just imitation carbon wrapping?
Just installed the Tom's dry carbon fiber rear diffuser for my LC500. It looks excellent and really compliments the Tom's Titan Exhaust kit I have on. I'll be adding the side skirts and front lip soon as well. Photo's will be posted here as the build continues.
Simply stunning. Can I buy one without the Tom's logo on the side skirts? Or can it be easily de badged with fishing line? If I do that ,will there be any indentation where the Tom's Logo was? How well does the dry carbon weave match with the roof weave, gloss and color? Also there are a couple of blow molded aero parts under the stock exhaust parts. I guess there isn't really any need for them on the new rear diffuser? I wont do the Tom's exhaust right now. Or their "weld on" elbows. I'm just planning to put on some dual wall oval tips on the stock 60mm exhaust pipes for now. Any experience you have to share about this project would be greatly appreciated.

The Toms Logo is a plaque that has an indent in the carbon for it.
