  1. All it really does is hold the gears longer before changing, although I suspect theres more black magic going on.

    All the aftermarket exhausts dont really add much V8 rumble really due to the fast they keep the rear silencer. All you really need to do is take out the rear box.

    I had custom stainless exhaust made up locally and the rear box taken out. I should think any exhaust shop can do a similiar job.

  2. Thanks so much for the replies. I went to the web site and both models of Lux Link are out of stock. I also have to find someone qualified to install it in New Jersey. The car is way to sophisticated for just anybody to install. I also don't to void the warrantee. Will Lexus install it?

    I would email them to see if they are still avaliable. I just had mine installed at my local car audio dealer. Comes with instructions etc and takes a couple of hours. You can always ask at your Lexus dealer if they will.

  3. Yes that would work fine, the offset is not aggressive though. It wont rub unless you also plan to lower it and then that depends how much you lower it.

    Personally I think 20" is the best looking size wheel to go with, although it really needs to be lowered as well to finish the look.

    A lower offset means the wheel is more towards the wing or fender as you say and higher offset is more set in. Stock is +45, Stock wheels are very set inwards hence the large gap from the fender to the wheel. So you will come out a little more.

    Im running 20x9 +24 front 20x10.5 +27 rear

    As you can see my wheels are very close to the fender

  4. I removed all my emblems, the Lexus and the SC430 on either side have no holes, a little fishing line will get those off no problem. The round/oval L emblem has a couple holes to locate it. But then you would have to fill that one as its recessed. But I think you just want to remove the ones on either side, so that fine.
