Thanks. Its a V8 theres always a few to gain. The real hold up is the headers, cats and the massive rear mufflers. For a while I ran the Toms filters with modded mid pipe and oem axleback (between my 2nd and 3rd axleback). While it wasnt much louder than stock, the induction noise was nice (F Sport sound generator) I could tell it did feel a bit choked near redline. Once the 2.5” Vibrant’s were added it was obvious that oem rear mufflers holding me back.
I have no official paper work for my claims ! Lol

crankshaft, water pump, alternator and all the accessory pulleys and have them cnc aluminum customly built
The weight change has very little effect, smaller diameter is more important. A steady-state dyno will report no power change, only improves transient (300 rpm per second, etc.).
Camry V4? You have the only one.

I also own a Mitsubishi Mirage with a V3! 
By the way, I started this thread, and it has evolved a lot. Which I'm absolutely fine with. There's no telling what good MAY come out of this thread.

Nice ... there's only been a recording or 2 that has captured the sound well. Yours and mine neither catch it all that well. However, I have a cheapie dash cam that has the best sound I've heard. That and one other guy's video on below, sounds much better than my recordings.

cryptodoni or who ever else has the RedBullets. Why did y'all only get 2 and not 4? Isn't there an intake and exhaust on each side of the motor?
I asked Quantum Solenoid about this and they told me this,
"The Lexus V8 in your vehicle has non replaceable electromechanical solenoids on the intake side and replaceable traditional solenoids on the exhaust side
Thank you

I asked Max from Red Bullet the same thing and he said,
"Hi Bryan,
I would suggest go with 2 on the intake 1st, if you want more performance you can add the extra 2 for the exhaust later.
The exhaust is a bit finicky to get to so the intake will be a easier fit on for getting accustomed to the installation process.
The performance will increase from 2 to 4 installation, although the intake effect is more prominent and easier to feel the difference right away.
Max"
I have a 2011 GS460. I went ahead and ordered 4 to replace them all. I'm willing to pay for any small upgrade as its hard to get any performance in these engines. I read about performance coil packs but I'm on the fence about it. Has anyone experimented with these? I was able switch out the TCU from the ISF into mine. Was eyeing a new LSD from IsF to put into mine too. Have y'all heard of any parts/knick knacks that can give performance to these engines?
