As far as the Hiper being loud, it really wasn't all that bad... more of a throaty sound under normal driving conditions. At WOT, it did get a bit on the loud side, but not the high pitched whiney kind of loud. If you want quiet, I'd go L-sportline. I don't have any personal experience with JIC, but I don't see them on a lot of Lex's
HP wise... I did a baseline run of 181rwhp. I added a RMM intake, SAFC, Toyomoto header, Hiper and dyno tuned it. It increased to 209rwhp. Sorry I can't be more precise on the specific number gains!

Personally, if I were you, I would pick up some bolt-ons for the time being and the SAFC at a later date. Besides, if you tune it now and decide to add more bolt-ons in the future, you are going to need to retune it anyways...

Stay away from Lextasy. They're banned from ClubLexus and IS300.net for a reason.
