Do you know that the sound of this car was tuned by Yamaha? Not the motorcycle/ racing division but their music division. It was made to ensure it sounded good stock. That's how detailed this car was developed.
You're right, Yamaha did tune the exhaust for most Lexus' target buyers and it did sound good stock, but I wanted something a little different. Eventually I'll get a full exhaust.
did a resonator delete to my rc f. doesnt sound nearly as good. it makes sense though, the engine might be the same but the exhaust set up is a lot different
LC has dual intakes so that's probably why. Additionally, Yamaha designed an airbox for these to pump engine noise into the cabin so that's probably a part of it. My old RCF with EL headers sounded amazing though
The LC 500 has one of the best exhaust notes of any on the road, bar none. I wish Lexus did not put that awful iCVT 10 speed in it. Gears 1 thru 7 are heavenly, but after that, really nothing. I have driven quite a few of them, and also think they are drop dead gorgeous. I hear folks talk about the LFA, but the V10 and the exhaust is a bit raspy, and not quite the deeper bass type note of a Lamborghini or Audi V10, so for my taste, I would give the nod to the LC for having a better exhaust note. I also love the RC/GS-F’s as well.
Yeah those last 3 gears are for fuel economy. I personally love the LFA exhaust note and hope to buy one one day. Miss my RCF sometimes - with the equal length headers it sounded amazing
@@cartune_netwerk I never particularly was a big fan of the LFA due to the $400k price tag. I know that it is a fantastic car, but that seemed outrageous. Lexus should go to a Dual Clutch Auto with about 7 or 8 speeds for the LC. Yes, you are going to save about a thimble full of gas on 8 thru 10, which is laughable. The exhaust note drops off a cliff at that point as well.
Probably want to put the resonators back on and delete the mufflers. Resonators have a very small impact on the sound they mostly prevent drone whereas mufflers are what muffler the exhaust sound
