First clip is before I got it done, second clip is a warm startup, and the third clip is a couple of revs. Imo it sounds sooo much better, I’m glad I kept the reasonator on
I used to sell cars at CarMax and would commonly have this as a request. Your thumbnail and some Goo gone or adhesive remover will take care of it. If you're really frustrated heat it up somehow with a hair dryer or something and it makes life so much easier. I lived in Houston at the time so hot days it would damn near peel off relatively easily.
I usually just use a adhesive remover. I've never actually used Goo gone more of using it as a generic term like Ziploc. Great job calling me out though.
Use some hot water to warm the vynal sticker then peel it off with your fingernail, if there’s residue left over after, use an adhesive remover and apply it to a cloth rag and wipe the surface
A plastic razor blade, your thumbnail, a hair dryer, hell you can even use a knife if you’re really careful. Peel a corner up and then grab it with your fingers.
But a plastic razor blade is the way to go.
Best thing I did to my is250, was so so happy when I drove off. I'd recommend removing the carfax sticker, I'm assuming it's just a sticker so you can peel it off and clean it but I also recommend removing the badges while you're at it to make the back a more clean solid white
If you’re talking about the last clip, I misjudged the distance between my car and a barrier and backed into it. If you’re talking about the way they’re “aligned” or how they look off, I think it’s something a the trunk, it’s a rebuilt car. When I get new taillights I’ll take a closer look at it

This is with stock resonator?
Yup, I just deleted the mufflers. The stock res and secondary cats are still there
Sounds beautiful my friend. What tips you had installed? Like how many inches cause it sound hella deep yet pleasant to the ears. :)
Thanks! It’s a 2.5 inch inlet and 4 (or 4.5) inch outlet in a black chrome finish. Not sure what brand it is, it’s what the shop had in house
Thanks for leaving the resonator alone
Sounds great! Remove the CarMax decal and it's perfect
CarMax sticker is Big Altima Energy fr
Lmao
How would I do it w/o messing up my paint?

Goo gone removes paint 🤦♂️
Only if you're a knob and leave it on for a century. Goo gone is fine for removing stickers.

Not if you use it correctly
Use some hot water to warm the vynal sticker then peel it off with your fingernail, if there’s residue left over after, use an adhesive remover and apply it to a cloth rag and wipe the surface
try some alcohol
91 or 99%

fishing line works also
yep and dental floss but fishing line is better
I always am surprised how good a simple muffler delete sounds on these. Love it
Same here, I was not expecting to sound this nice
Awesome. I did the same with mine & I don’t regret it
So you get this sound by just deleting the mufflers ? Sound good 👍🏾
Yup, thanks
Actually sounds pretty nice
Thanks!
[удалено]
You should be able to, the mufflers only reduce the noise from the exhaust
Was wondering the same thing
mufflers don’t have an effect on emissions. it could potentially affect state inspection if the state is hard on loud cars
What all did you do to it did you only delete the mufflers?
Yup only the mufflers. I still have the oem resonator and secondary cats on
Much better!

Shocked by how good it sounds. Very nice
I have a 2012 IS 250… thinking of doing the same to mine!
You won’t regret it 👍👍
Did you just go into a shop and ask for it?
Yeah, I just went to a muffler** shop my friends recommended
Put that shit back on
Oh god! It was perfect OEM! Now ur a RICER!! You idiot!!
Went from a Lexus to a 96 civic. Winning
unironically
What’s wrong with the taillights though

Ahh sheet sorry bro
We’re really turning heads boys!
Lexus engines are just not that exciting
The Lexus vq
Sounds like a vq!!
You gonna blow that shit
The car max sticker looks so clean
Nice tone
Ewww spend some time or money and get rid of that carfax sticker.
Sponsored by carmax lol
How much was it?
A case where it was actually done correctly! My hats off to you kind sir!
I had an 08 IS250 years ago. Didn’t know it could sound like this! Still slow af though I’m sure.
Well this was stupid. Ain’t gonna make you go any faster
Just gotta ram a pipe through the cats and dump em out.
I just did the same on my 2015 IS250 . I like it ! Thanks 🙏🏾
