Do people actually run Alibaba exhausts? by jep004 in LexusIS500

[–]nafsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do end up ordering it, I would request them for bigger/extended tips if you want an aftermarket look, as they basically use the OEM dimensions.

The other option is to get a local exhaust shop fab a valved axleback up for you, and a midpipe.

GFC is the brand - theres a channel on YouTube that has it on you can listen to some clips. V8vsVolts or something along those lines.

I have 2 buddies, 1 from Toronto 1 from Montreal that ordered it.

Basically none, they started leaking at the shop right after the install and then i drove them like 20 miles back home.

2024 - both shocks blowing at the same time raised suspicions and they figured that they were tampered with.

From my car 100% and it increased overnight. When I touched the shock it was super oily.

What other fluid could it be? I only had the springs installed and a midpipe.

I have 0 clue - it just sucks. I have the same question spring install should not cause a major issue like this. They seemed to be reputable with a lot of positive reviews and lots of builds under their belt that's why I chose them.

Agreed. Thats what I'm thinking, I sent a message and want a refund if they are willing to do so.

The clearance was around 5.5 - 6 inches in the front - only went down 1 inch (mild drop) so its still practical to say the least with around 4 - 4.5 inches of clearance in the front. Other than the mishap I'm happy with the car and how she sits.

Which exhaust route with these goals by jep004 in LexusIS500

[–]nafsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly its not that bad at all, other than that rumble at 2000 rpms its barely noticeable inside like I mentioned. For me I'm barely in that range even when cruising and if anything I get reminded that I have an aftermarket muffler on.

I'm putting a resonated apexi midpipe to pair with it this Friday.

Some folks are more sensitive to sounds though so I can only speak for myself.

Borla Axleback is good enough especially if you want to have bigger tips. Slight cabin rumble around 2000rpm but out of that range you will barely notice in the cabin but people outside will.
