You will get a more "snarly" sound with the resonator removal and also pick up a few more horsepower as well.
yea this one has xpipe and resonator. I was thinking of getting another mid piece made so i'm not cutting up a good exhaust and have them install just an xpipe. I like the clean deep sound of the ARK without all the snap, crackle, pops....just not loud enough, at least FOR ME.

You can put the resonator back just as easily. It is a quick weld. Considering ARK is an expensive exhaust, I would want to use the mid-pipe it came with. Anyway, you can look for Apexi non-resonated mid-pipe and use it with the ARK rear section.

Totally agree. Which is why for now I'm going to continue enjoying it. And just wait to see what happens once I get headers.

Hello guys, I'm not officially a Lexus owner yet. I have been on the hunt for a low mileage clean RC-F. I have test driven them and I'm very please with them. I joined this forum to see what wheel and trim options are available out there. I hope to own a RC-F very soon.

Let us know when you're ready for the KW or the Swift springs!

Hello All,

Just picked up a 2016 RCF with track package only 18000km. I came from a ford f150 and previously had a 2014 Lexus IS350AWD f-sport.

I live in Ontario Canada. I plan to drive it all year round, just picked up some winter tires.

I failed to update my post with a picture. Although I did post a pic in another thread. I believe it's worthy to share again. I really like this car!

Welcome to both of you. Very nice pictures. I have seen Slpr RCF before. JLesz, congrats on your RCF. I am in Calgary, AB. I also have a Molten Pearl Carbon/TVD just like yours. So you plan on driving it in the winter snow? Mine is going to be staying the in the garage from this month till March/April.

Yeah, with the rock chips and salt cr*p etc., I just never got the courage to risk the pristine condition (though I have tape on the front, pillars and side mirrors). I want it to stay this way many years from now so it stays toasty in the heated underground stall. I have a 2005 6 speed manual 2ZZ-GE XRS Corolla (with 190 HP) that I drive everywhere. RCF is just a "quality time" car with the wife and daughter. Still only has 16,000 KM on it.
