The drone from the exhaust seems kind of annoying, even at low RPMs.... Seeing that it's supposed to be a quiet luxury car, are there exhausts that can wake up this engine sound, but not be too droney for normal driving?
Will do bro! Believe it or not, ALL my videos are recorded on my cellphone. This was attached to the suction device on the sunroof glass. I actually have all the attachments for a GoPro. But I find it easier to film, edit and post from my S24 Ultra.
I test drove a 24 the other day and wanted to love it so badly. Transmission felt so old...just couldn't get into it. Also found the accel pedal to be too soft, almost had to floor it to get into power. Probably spoiled by my M3, but I so badly wish they modernized this car just a bit and I'd probably own one.
@wat2875 Ah! Got it. It's all good, bro. Not one car is for everyone. I drove my buddy's Nissan R35 GTR, and it wasn't for me. I think we can all agree that there's a certain "feel" that everyone likes about their cars. You just got to go with what feels right for you.
Just took delivery of a ‘24 in Ultra White with red interior and BBS wheels in Sarasota yesterday and drove it back to Atlanta. Love this car and been looking at them for a year. Do you have an aftermarket exhaust it sounds louder than mine? I’m looking at the axle back from Borla
Congratulations on your 500, bro! Best car EVER! Anyway, I have an Apex'i Non-Resonated Midpipe. I'm using stock mufflers to keep the drone to a minimum.
Thanks man! Appreciate it! I like the sound of it I think it’s just a tiny bit too mild. Don’t want anything obnoxious and just looking for a simple install. Do you think the Borla S-Type will be too aggressive?
Man, I'm looking for a way to straight pipe mine and still retain the stacked exhaust tips! For me, "Loud is good!" But, there's many out there that have the set up you want. They sound good too!
@@dakster4729 I agree. I think i mentioned it in one of the videos after this. I corrected myself on how the transmission came alive after it got warm.
How often do you hear that clunk? Mine does that when it goes from 5th to 3rd gear, i find it very annoying, especially when you hear that gearing noise in cabin
@@Hyper_Boost took it dealership, they replaced my transmission, car was in the shop for a month, but it made no difference, then they told me it’s normal, most technicians don’t know anything about cars!
Have you noticed lower mpg's just regular use? Considering I daily mine and i wanted a nice exhaust like yours. I know its hard to not floor it every time when a car sounds that good 🔥
THAT, is the problem, bro 😂. Flooring, blipping and short pulls. They tend to knock you gas efficiency down, SIGNIFICANTLY! Hey, but it's all about smiles for miles, right?
I gotta say that you guys were ABSOLUTELY right about how the transmission comes alive when it's "hot." Crazy fast shifts!❤

@awepossum1059 Coming from a straight-piped Evo, this IS quiet. Honestly, I don't hear the drone myself.
Indeed.
This is non resonated. Resonated would be quieter in normal driving.
@@LONGWALDO Correct.
one thing I really like about lexus is500 interior is that it exudes great quality
I agree. I guess Toyota says, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." I'd love a bit of an updated interior though.
I love your build and about to buy an is500 soon do you have a list of what you did to it?
@jackle7389 Tha k you bro! It's lowered, and aftermarket wheels, midpipe, little carbon bits.
Thank for the vids and enthusiasm 🙏. I'm picking up mine this week....
Pleasure is all mine, sir! I'd appreciate a sub if you haven't yet. Thank you!
Awesome POV drive. I’d say get a cap attachment for your go pro so you can record at eye level.
Please do more of these videos

Try driving it between 4500 and 7500 rpm and report back. I did with mine and it was a completely different experience!
@@dakster4729 I agree. I think i mentioned it in one of the videos after this. I corrected myself on how the transmission came alive after it got warm.
Nice POV drive, if i had a N/A engine I'd probably won't warm-up the car too often as well especially in Florida/Cali weather.
Thank you, Homie! 'Appreciate it! But, I don't let it idle for more than 5 min. Then drive slow to get it up to temp.
Have you tuned it at all? Tuned by Loi has tuner kits and im kind of interested in getting some for my IS500
I had no idea that tuning was available (aside from Supercharging it). Where is he located at?

Occasionally, when it's cold. Low revs while decelerating only. It's annoying AF.

@@binalimuradov7239 I figured as much. Well, at least you got a new trans!!!

I’m just hoping for 2025 we get the updated tech at least 😅
@@BigPrincelittlePrince Yes, at least wireless Apple Carplay/Android auto.
What city are you driving in? It looks beautiful 👍🏻
Thank you bro! I'm north of Tampa about an hour in a town called Crystal River
@@Hyper_Boost awesome! I am in St. Pete 👍🏻
@SlickRick727 I think all of us IS owners in the proximity should meet up one day and get an awesome photo
A IS meet would be 🔥🔥🔥
What exhaust do you have bro ?
@@edwingonzalez496 Apexi Non-Resonated Midpipe with stock mufflers.
Ahh do you ever feel like the trans acts funny on cold hills? But love the vid!!
Yes! Funny enough only when it's cold. But when it heats up it acts like amazing
