      They sell a complete kit where you change out the rotors, brake pads, calipers. Pretty much a complete front swap but it’s probably not necessary. If you just change out the rotors and the brake pads it’ll probably have the same effect considering that the calipers are about the same size as the OEM.

    • @ModinJapan

      NOVEL is about new and innovation. Price point isn’t always everything and designs take time and energy to do. You may not see it as innovation since doesn’t seem like a big leap forward, but they are trying to move the needle forward. If it’s HP per dollar then buy the cheapest unequal length manifold you can find, but not everyone is looking for that and that’s ok. Handmade Japanese stuff is not for everyone nor is the cost, but it’s the sound people are after and while we’ve been back ordered on this manifold ever since we started carrying the brand. Driver and builder experience is different for everyone and their value proposition is too. Been in the Porsche world too and not everyone is willing to pay for pie cut titanium exhausts and magnesium mono-lug wheels with air jack systems but still cool if you have the budget.

    Skip the IS 500 and get RC F. I own an IS 500 its a great car but the flaws are many, first there's bumper sag, TSB does not fix and it breaks bumper further. The chassis is not stiff, RC F has better chassis dynamics and it handles better. Plus you can track it. Only downsides of RC F are - no TVD option (maybe better for longevity since its a very expensive part and heavy). no Driver memory for US market. Engine bracing removed from 2023 MY. Upsides - Far robust chassis vs IS 500, Trans and Oil cooler from factory, higher top speed, launch control, bigger brakes, Michelin PS4 out of factory, real leather interior vs nuluxe on IS, last F car on the planet. 2025 will be the last MY for 2UR GSE. RCF, LC500, IS 500 all will be killed in favor of newer models. GT3 RC F successor is coming with TTV8. No more NA V8.

    Equal length headers make no sense and loses power on a cross plane v8. You have 2 pulses going to the collector at the same time, leading to problems with scavenging and overloading the collector. Realistically you want something slightly unequal length to allow the pulse time to get scavenged by the previous one.

      It’s more of a sound over power proposition because from a cost perspective unequal will always be more cost effective per HP so just depends what you want

    Why would they be 8k if they’re already stateside? Still not feasible to me lol may as well start making header sets and start sending them over as well to cut down wait times.

    Great video, it’s interesting to hear that they are not completely equal length. This makes sense because on a cross plane engine, perfectly equal runners will not produce the most even sound. You still have two pulses firing on each bank. Looking at the 2UR firing order, cylinder 3 being slightly longer would work. And then cylinder 2 slightly longer on the other side. This is all a guess, but I do know of a very simple way to figure out the lengths/pitch on the Novel but I won’t say out of respect. Also, it’s been mentioned the novel primary diameters are around 1 and 5/8” versus PPE’s 1.75”. This could also contribute more deconstructive harmonics that give Novels that nice “phasey” cancellation that’s almost “tape-flange-esque.”

    • @ModinJapan
      @ModinJapan 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It’s a very unique piece and appears equal but not sure how they calculated the lengths to achieve that sound

      2025 will be last MY for 2UR GSE engine. in 2026 GT3 RCF successor will be coming with Twin Turbo V8, and the LC 500 will be replaced by a newer hybrid coupe. RC F, IS 500 will be discontinued. Get it in 2025 would be my advice. Currently the IS 500 has bumper sag, I'm an owner of the IS 500 the car is superb but it cannot compete with RC F in any way due to chassis enhancements in the RC F vs none for IS 500, sure its as fast but the F line tuning is different. I'd recommend try getting RC F, because Lexus wont fix the bumper sag on the IS 500.
