a drive by? 😨

@@PK88.😭😭😭😭😭

@@boomjiggah no squeaks or rattles for me

It's 04152-YZZA1 for the RWD IS350 (2024). Called the dealer to confirm. Was yours a AWD?

@@cwol2949 yes mine is AWD, I use 04152YZZA5

@@Unknownuser12356 Costco premium lol, but I would choose Shell V-Power

It is good oil but with the amount of metal shavings on a new car it doesn't matter how good it is, you still should change it alot at first.

Oh yeah for sure. A lot is missing from this car. I really wished the car came with a HUD. And idk why the US spec didn’t come with power folding mirrors and headlight washers.

If you have a garden sprayer that doesn’t foam you might want to get the one he’s using because even if you have a foamy wheel cleaner it won’t come out as foam the wheel cleaner he was using is p&s brake buster diluted 5:1

Just used my phone. iPhone 14 Pro Max

@@tommynguyen7468 It looks great I need to try this 🙏

Yessir, same engine

Just the stock exhaust. I didn’t get the fsport exhaust option

I have the F sport Exhaust on my 2023 Lexus IS 350. It’s a nice deep tone without being too loud.

@@ayeits_jp Currently driving stock exhaust got a 2021, its so quiet lol. I had to pick either the F-Sport exhaust or Borla S type exhaust but the price on the F sport is a little much for a bit of extra sound. I purchased the Borla since its advertised as no droning and only loud when u really step on the gas hard, will be installing it next week

The reason why I chose the F Sport exhaust is bc of the quality and the engraved F Sport logo.

@ayeits_jp yeah the engraved f sport is a nice touch, I saw some videos of different exhaust and fsport and borla are definitely at the top

It depends a lot after refueling. If im light on it, I get around 18-21mpg. And if im driving hard, probably around 16-17mpg.

Sure! I’ll make one once I get a new radar. I’m currently borrowing from my bro

@@tommynguyen7468 thanks 😊

I'm running 5W-30 Motul 8100 Eco-Lite (full synthetic) on my '19 with the same engine, it works great. I looked up the owner manuals for this same car, in different markets (Australia, in this case) and you'll be surprised to know that it can even take 10W-30 if you're in a very hot area. If you're interested to look it up yourself, google for "Lexus Australia Owners Manual", then find the one for "IS-300-IS350-owners-manual-sep-20-current" and go to page 348 and read to page 349. It basically says you can use 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30 in the 2GR-FKS V6 engine. 5W-30 is perfectly fine even down to -25 ~ -30 C, which is really fucking cold, so don't worry about it. So why 0W-20? Because of fuel economy - if hundreds of thousands of cars are filled with lighter weight oil, that's a lot of fuel that was saved and Toyota/Lexus can avoid penalties. Personally speaking, I'll take the little fuel economy hit and use that Motul oil to make sure my engine is running the best stuff all the time.

@@gns942 good to know…how many miles have you been running it for? I think earlier models actually called for 5w30…same engine

@@jackcolt6875 45k miles so far. I'm getting a new '24 soon, and will also be using the same Motul 5W-30 after the initial change. Toyota/Lexus changed the spec around 2013 - 2014, just as new EPA regulations were introduced. The 2013 IS350 had the 2GR-FSE, and the 2014 - 2017 IS350 retained the same engine, but the recommendation changed to 0W-20 from 5W-30 between the 2013 - 2014 model years.

@@gns942 Nice. I just picked up a '24...moved from a BMW m340i...never looking back...LOVE it.

@@jackcolt6875 Oh very interesting - when I started looking around in 2019, the M340i came up as a possible option but I was very turned off by the front end (the active grille shutters with all the + symbols on it) and the fact that it was a BMW. People kept hyping up the B58 as being reliable, but I was more concerned about a bunch of other crap like the two electric water pumps for the turbo, the VANOS, timing chain guides made out of BMW plastic, and more. When I ordered a new '24 IS350, I once again had a look at the M340i and still passed on it even though it was 'only' going to be another $7k ~ $8k CAD, I just could not bring myself to believe that it would be reliable for the next 8 - 10 years. Why did you ditch the M340i? Do you think the IS350 is that much slower compared to the BMW?

@@rutgershouses I believe in the break-in change for sure. Had the 700 mile break in oil change for my ‘23 bronco tested at blackstone….turns out the factory put in a 5w20 instead of the spec 5w30…you never know unless you do it yourself!

Yeah just makes it easier

@@tommynguyen7468 are you gona turbo or supercharge your 350?

@@jromero925ify These cars aren't really worth turbo/supercharging price to power output, although there are people that have done that.

@@Ragnovald I just swapped my i350 last week for a is500. I like both cars but I wanted the v8 for the power. I ordered a non resonated mid pipe hopefully I get it by next week. It will have the proper v8 sound when I install it.

@@jromero925ify Yep, that's the move right there if you want more power, just throw in the extra 10-15k for a 470 hp NA v8. Congrats on the car, enjoy!

Yessir, got somethings lined up

Learn from him it’s not too soon he doing the right thing

how’d it go ? did it sound good?

@@jostina2934 very goid

So if I do a small resonator delete and both mufflers delete would it sound good without drone

I recently deleted my mufflers, 3rd cat and the smaller resonator. It pops when you let off in low rpms and at idle it gurgles and pops quietly. No check engine light though

Jonathan Connell I have basically the same set up except I deleted the bigger resonator kept the small one and still have my 3rd cat

Jonathan Connell I get some pops when I let off in low rpms they’re quite tho drones like crazy tho 🤦🏾‍♂️

​@@MardollasE9x Thats probs why he left his big resonator. Helps with drone, and keeps it from being raspy. It's probably loud as hell during certain rpm and quieter during others. i imagine its deeper during lower rpms, drones loud as fuck 2k-3k, and sounds amazing 4k-7k. Probably drones between 35-50 mph, and 60-68 mph if you have an auto.. And the big resonator probably helps keep just enough back pressure to keep the check engine light from popping up- prevents it from running too lean.

No I did not get a check engine light with the 3rd cat delete, and yes I get some pops and burbles. But I recommended keeping the main/larger resonator because it drones pretty bad. I plan to redo the exhaust by getting the Magnaflow catback for the coupe and just extend it and make it flush for the sedan.
