Lexus SC400 Straight Pipe No Resonator

[xinvinceible]

clips of your new exhaust setup please :)

[blackhumanity103]

hey got a 97 sc400 ....looking for some headers for it. Got megna flows sounds good..

[Aveoon32]

Wait a second, so how is it straight pipe if you still have cat and resonator? I guess i dont understand. Please dumb it down for my dumbass, thanks lol :) Wanna do this too mine definitely!

[FatBoiNinja]

@Aveoon32 eh I guess i kinda half assed a straight pipe. i no longer have this SC but i removed my resonators and mufflers an just dropped straight pipping from the center cat. eventually I removed the center cat because it didnt have a O2 sensor. the 2 primary cats had o2 sensors so i left those on. my latest SC has the resonators deleted and center cat deleted, through the stock mufflers sounds great! anyways good luck on your SC!

[Aveoon32]

@FatBoiNinja So you're saying deleting all resonators and cats but leave the stock exhaust and thats the best sound? Cause this clip to me is the best sounding sc i have ever heard except that turbo 1uz :p. You should upload a video of you're new sc?

[FatBoiNinja]

@Aveoon32 well its not as loud as this white sc. but yea if you are on a budget like most people, removing the center cat, and resonators gives you a pretty agressive sound. of course I kept my 2 primary cats on that are right after the exhaust manifold. i wouldnt go full straight pipe cause that would lose alot of power. since the weather is warmer I might just upload a new video of my latest sc!

my 95 sc400 intake looks big, but it looks like it gets so small that cold air intake would help. w/e though an engine swap will be needed soon enough, 250,000 miles and its just keeps going up :(

sc for life baby :)

Hey. Just wondering would any Car Exhaust Shop do a straight pipe job on a car or do you have to go somewhere special? Thanks.

[FatBoiNinja]

Yep just about any muffler shop does straight piping by request. Unless they are snobby about it lol. Just check with ur local muffler shop.

[KJBPj]

not bad,do they make O2 SIMS for these?if they do,i would elimanate the cats,and put on some magnaflow muffs.that would sound really sweet.

[FatBoiNinja]

I have no clue buddy. Right now i am currently running my car with the Primary cats, which are the cats that are after the exhaust manifold, thru a Y-Pipe into straight Pipping. it sounds really really good. Im going to try to weld a custom X pipe for it and possibly maybe a Blitz Nur spec exhaust.

[p2proxtheworld]

sounds good, i have a cutout on my SC 400

[FatBoiNinja]

nice, i recently got a cutout too! but its messing up so im going to weld a pipe back on and sell the cutout to someone. Ive got comments like "it sounds like a mustang" or "is it carbed?" lol it sounds good tho

[jewtheist]

Sounds good bro. Remember though, with a NA SC400 opening the pipes reduces restriction and allows the car to breathe better. But it also lowers your torque, so your pulls off the line should be worse. That's speaking physics wise.

[FatBoiNinja]

Thanks, yeah i know i had that problem with the open cat, but i have a flowmaster Y-pipe, to give it the torque it lost and a cold air intake, so my pulls have been a little slower but gains around 2nd gear.

[nightrideri30]

nice sound man

i think it hane more power right now

do u know any performance company that sell

headres & cold air intake for 95 sc400

imy friend have 95 sc400 so i can use some if u can

thanks

[FatBoiNinja]

Thanks.

the strait pipes alone gave me about 5-7 horses.

No i dont really know any cmopanies.

but if u try the different Lexus Forums out there alot of them post up links that takes u to third party companies that makes performance parts for the 1UZ-FE.

Im tryin to order a pair of flanges for my sc400 so i can custom make my piping.

let me know if u find anything good out there.

[99998886666]

S&S Headers makes them but they are meant for the GS exhaust. It's a direct bolt on to 98+ SC400 but anything other like your 95' SC400 requires some custom flanges or stuff. A cold air intake is perfectly useless.

[Dani01c]

why is it useless? lol so a intake for any sc400 sucks?

[99998886666]

Yes, and it's a waste of money. It's a ricer hood bling mod unless you have a REALLY restrictive OEM intake or you're working with boost applications.

[Dani01c]

but i still cant understand.. why? its colder air into the engine.. engine should breathe better.. at least in all cars that ive been in have been like that.. except for IS350 and IS-F which some people claim that CAI just doesnt work probably because of the MAF

[kodachii14]

Most OEM intake kits like the sc400's for example are well engineered , so an "After Market" intake would be useless. There is a mod to make the OEM intake for the sc400 better though,its called a BFI intake looks it up. Its cheap and effective.

[FatBoiNinja]

Yea I heard the BFI intake conversion was better than any aftermarket intake. if done properly
