How does it feel overall with the charge pipe? I’m guessing you have the intake as well.

I have the HPS Silicon Intake w/ FSport Filter in stock air box along with the TTI Motorsports Stage 2 plus w/ TCU tune.
Of course the charge pipe, then past the turbo I have Downpipe (non cat), mid pipe, and the axle back exhaust by Inivida. The last thing on my list is the muffle delete and diverter valve and I will leave it as is.

It's ridiculously loud but it has a nice little pull on it. Nothing like my old SC300 with 1JZ and Big turbo setup, but definitely more ***** and fun to drive. Combined with it lowered on Tein Flex Z Coilovers and RCF/GSF big brakes.
On the exhaust it seems the loudest around 2200 - 2800 RPM and as it goes higher it seems the exhaust isn't as loud anymore, with a nice tone.

I titanium sleeved the breather hoses over the turbo and just waiting for TTI to start selling the MDK and DVS then that's it, unless a turbo comes out. I might do a HKS Super Power Flow filter.

Maybe it is the phone, but doesn’t sound to loud to me. Also you could be used to the super gimp mass market Lexus exhaust note. I’m sure your SC sounded just as loud.

This is how it looks now.


With a HPS Silicon tube and stock airbox with FSport, it wasn't breathing as well, changed it to the HPS filter and new polished pipe. Later I had changed that filter with good old fashion HKS Super Power Flow.

It was constrictive on the original setup during that dyno run it was 231hp and 269 ft/lb torque.
One of these days I'll go back and post new results.

​​​​The SC was a lot quieter, the phone doesn't record it as loud as it is, every time I see a cop I have to drive really slow, in ECO mode [
