No Drone Corsa Pro Series Muffler - 06 Lexus SC430 - First Impressions - Straight Pipe Comparison

This is my 5th and final attempt at building a perfectly tuned LC500 sounding exhaust for my SC430. First, a muffler delete, then a Megan Twin Loop Muffler to a Megan downpipe/midpipe combo with the Megan twin loop muffler, then a resonator/muffler delete setup, to finally the Corsa Pro Series universal mufflers with Vibrant 1792 resonators. The euphoria I feel when driving almost brings me to tears, haha. Aside a J-Pipe/Helmholtz addition (with exact size calculations), this is the only way to benefit from drone-free silence at cruising speeds yet a loud, refined, high-pitched, throaty V8 sound on heavy acceleration. Lexus got it right with the stock LC500 exhaust but not the SC430. This is how they should’ve tuned the exhaust off the assembly line. Hope this helps someone. Don't believe me? Listen for yourself.

    Luv the happy ending. “I got my low end torque back” Priceless I recently acquired a SC430 and it is silky smooth cruising like no other. LC500 will be next and if I win the lottery, Lexus LFA here I come.

    This type of exhaust setup should have come from factory that sounds really nice 👌

    This sounds really nice. I was thinking about doing megan mid pipes, vibrant resonators, and borla mufflers.

    I’ve had both the Megan downpipe and midpipe on this car. Lots of low end drone. Plus they kept sending me the incorrect flange doughnut gaskets resulting in hissing exhaust leaks at WOT.

    This thing sounds good man! I'm selling my Boxster real soon to finally get one of these (I've always wanted an SC430) and I was intending on doing the classic muffler delete and DynoMax Race Bullets, but drone was a big concern with it being a Lexus for me, I want it to be loud but tame at times. I was originally thinking of trying to find a valved exhaust system so it can really be either or, but this setup seems like a really solid option! One question, do you know what size muffler you went with? Was it their 3.0 inch "for v8 muscle"? I've only ever gotten Magnaflow mufflers before but Corsa seems to be solid!

    Bullets are only about 6” long so they won’t resonator much sound- haha. Look up SC430 Exhaust Addicts and you can hear the Bullets for yourself. They sound tinny, like a resonator delete setup. 10 -12” resonators is the sweet spot for the throaty V8 sounds. Valved exhausts are too pricey IMO. I’ve had Magnaflow on other cars - don’t do it! You’ll be disappointed. Low end drone for sure! I went with the 2.5” Corsa Universal Muffler “CP2500S” option as the car is 2.25” stock. I promise these are QUIET and LOUD like a factory tuned exhaust. Thanks for watching!

    ​@@beaunozautozTo achieve this exhaust note, could you please tell me your exhaust set up, did you only use the Corsa universal muffler 2.5 and that's it? Everything else is stock (exhaust pipes, etc)

    Seems odd that going from a straight-thru "axle-back" to straight-thru mufflers would make ANY difference in low-end torque. Did you add the x-pipe when you swapped to your last config? (Yeah, x-pipes typically help in higher revs too...though I wouldn't be surprised. (Less so about the addition of an x-pipe -- for sure)
