Morning all. Long time no post.

Had the dispatch mail too so thanks again to Pete for sorting all this. Very much appreciated! Let us know next steps when you can Pete.

Really looking forward to meeting everyone at Kemble when I should have a few more mods in place. Tein front springs being fitted on the 10th to close that tyre gap. I’m planning to fit 12 or 15mm spacers all round on the OEM wheels and the USRS kit before a 4 wheel alignment.

I’ve got a few bits of carbon trickery ready to fit and a few more on their way to be clear coated so it’s all shaping up nicely.

See you all on the 19th if you’re going!

Order placed and confirmed - order number 4016

Put "Peter Payne to collect" in comments box.

Thanks Peter, very much appreciated :)

Awesome Pete, thanks for sorting this out. So we just put for collection by you on the postage or delivery option right?

How about the ex police one from the other forum listing? Great service history and come s with a free felling of power and superiority!

Haha!!! Of course.

60% of the time, silver ISF's are faster every time!(?!?)

Thanks Kieron thats really helpful.

Was only interested in the x pipe as I thought it helped prevent any droning.  My interest in changing the exhaust is purely for the sound.

I'm also hoping I will be able to get it done sooner rather than later

 

Just uploaded two videos of my H&S cat back with x pipe as a new thread. Forgot about this one!

The two videos are live on Youtube now as below

Cold Start

Warm Start

Dodgy autofocus on this one. Think the exhaust was scaring the camera!! :)

Evening all.

Hot off the press from "can't spell northern" Dan...... two H&S catback exhaust clips for you to enjoy.

This is a 'with X-Pipe" system and the car is also fitted with a HPS intake and K&N panel filter, no other mods at this stage although that is soon to change on a purely cosmetic basis.

First one (20170915) is cold start...... I know you shouldn't rev it too much but I'm sure the previous owners will have beat me to it for the last 7 years!

Second one (20170918) is after it's been warmed up on the road for about half an hour. Sorry for the big pauses, was trying to let traffic subside but gave up in the end. Probably shouldn't have done it at 6 o'clock at night. Damn you commuters!!

Definitely a nicer richer sound once it's warm in my opinion. Much nicer rumble to start and much better sound in the cabin and with windows down when out on the road too.

If you've not got a H&S, get one. If you have got one, get another, just in case the first one gets vaporised in a hideous smelting accident.

Enjoy!

Need to stick 'em on youtube so I can insert the videos direct like Mattmech did. Didn't realise the links would only let you download them :(

All sounds good to me!

Just back from the opticians and mental health advisors as it appears it's taken me two days to realise that I can't spell Northern. Who's NothernDan?

Stupid touchscreens!

H&S cat back, HPS intake and K&N panel filter for now. Lots of carbon fibre currently being clear coated!

Just had a H&S cat back with x pipe fitted on Thursday.

Lots more rasp on throttle blips, about 50% more 'presence' on startup.

I get a little more drone than stock up to 70 but it's silent 75 to 100 unless I start stamping on the loud pedal.

Very happy so far. It transforms the car but as others have said it's all induction noise after 3600rpm. The exhaust just gives more shout up to then.

Get one! You'll be happy!

Here's a bad picture of my mystery exhaust. It appears to have an X pipe and a H pipe! Someone spent some money on it!

I could be wrong but this may have been fitted by EMP in St Albans. They have an ISF custom exhaust on their website and YouTube and they did a similar job to this on my dearly departed BMW335i.

Can't say for sure but the handywork and in particular the cross pipes look very similar.

Hi all,

New to the site and the forum and only three months into ownership of a 2009 ISF. Loving it so far but am keen to maintain front tread as the only advisory on previous MOTs for my car was front inner tyre wear.

Was just about to order the RR bushes direct so if the group deal saves a few pennies I'm in.

Spoke with Lexus about getting a warranty on mine but as others have suggested the addition of absolutely any non OEM part (other than tyres, oil, fluids etc) invalidates the whole warranty. My local dealer had me on a conference call with the warranty team and they confirmed they could no longer warranty my car as it already has a HPS intake and K&N panel filter. Now have a Hayward & Scott cat back  so they said absolutely no chance.

Let me know how we sort out ordering the bushes.

Hopefully see some of you in November!

Dan.
