Is this the perfect V8 exhaust sound? Magnaflow Upgrade - LEXUS OVERLAND [PART 4]

[@LifestyleOverland]

Build Sheet: www.lifestyleoverland.com/gx460-build/

[@brkbtjunkie]

That link is not working. Which model of exhaust was this? I’m about to acquire a gx460

[@mohammedalmuteb5501]

It's sound good enough. I think the car and your style is to always be balanced instead of too much. It's a winner. 👍🏻

[@krislawrence8357]

Just a heads up for next time, the exhaust wrap is actually supposed to be soaked and installed wet. It helps wrap it tighter, and sticks together especially on bends so it doesn’t fall off. Also the muffler will change after you drive it a good amount sound wise.

[@freeyourmind9000]

if you brought a toyota prado to the u.s...you think they would be able to maintain it?repair? or have spare parts? how close is a lexus gx460 to a similar model year prado? ofcourse they are both still different..what is the maximum difference? minimal difference? tolerable differences that would allow slight fabrications or adjustments? im just doing a "hypothetical" shipping a prado to the "u.s" scenario.

[@DrivenDocs]

Needs a good tune now!

[@ChillBabagaming]

Tire size ? Sir

[@LifestyleOverland]

We're just a bit weak in the knees after this one... and it wasn't from the install (super easy). How do you like that new attitude? (P.S. This video wasn't sponsored but... call us Magnaflow, we like your style 😂)

[@toddwilliams7]

I've had a Magnaflow on my 2000 Grand Cherokee for years. I love the sound it makes.

[@reainer]

Doesn’t sound bad, but I will say that when I am out in the back country the last thing I want to hear is somebody else’s truck! Sorry.

[@petergriffinelectricdrums4164]

[@thickquinkly1560]

Great to have the right model in the other seat. Mine, who had always been puzzled by me occassionally winding down windows to listen to other vehicles, said shortly after we had bought our 79 series ‘Cruiser, “You know, it does sound the part”. Love your ‘Prado’, very Aussie looking build, would be perfectly at home outside any outback pub.

[@daved7024]

Sounds good the tires are noisier than the exhaust 🤔☺️🙂

[@mfalme]

Hey guys. What happened with the motorhome? Really been waiting for an update on that.

[@chaseprimus]

Sounds pretty good guys! Really impressed by the amount of work you put in for the factory versus aftermarket sound comparison! Good stuff!

[@lKingRichardl]

Can't hear much difference over the sound of those tires!

[@fj9460-lr]

Sarah played along, you can’t pull anything on your lady! It still was quiet with the exhaust system off though.

[@2Skinny]

I wonder if there was/is a cat or resonator after the headers at the y pipe.

[@thepatentguru4358]

Heard that the MF does not work well; rusts at the cat after 20-30K miles and noise. Be interested to see what you find out!

[@johnfitzgerald5158]

The ladies say they don't care about the exhaust sound. They lie.

[@D.Trider]

Awesome! Is that a white led control panel shown as your wife starts up the truck? At about 7:50 timeline...

[@EnriqueSonora]

Thanks for the review. That would sound good on my Lexus lx470

[@waxifari5528]

Too many innuendo jokes to pick just one so I will spare everyone and pass. Haha.

[@ChevalNektosha]

I feel like Americans get the raw end on cars .That 460 is a more expensive less capable Prado .

[@joshblount133]

What floor jack is that? I haven't seen ones with good sized tires, and intended for taller vehicles like yours before?

[@MrGgraham76]

very good! May i ask what offset and size your rims pls?

[@jamie.andrews]

My wife said it is her favorite mod to our 470!

[@yenny527]

Add an exhaust cutout to the single straight section between the magnaflow muffler and stock downpipe. Magnaflow 10784 2.5” diameter tubing. Very easy to diy install. Can bypass the muffler and run it open once in awhile for that much louder sound. Then bolt the closing plate back up to hear the normal magnaflow sound.

[@freedomrunna4257]

Haha once you bring out the sawzall it’s no turning back. Did the same thing.

[@willypicon336]

Great video thank you if you're happy and your wife is happy that I'm happy for you however the animals along the road while overlanding will be much happier with silence thank you

[@Amer-yl4gb]

The biggest highlight of magnaflow mufflers is only the engine brake in 3rd gear... I had MF on 4 cyl 1.8T VW and I loved its monsterous downhill engine brake in 3rd gear... on highway I used engine brake like a horn to tell others clear the path 🤣🤣 MF unlike the pathetic loud muflers, its rich in low frequency... deep base like sound..

[@billkipper3264]

Sounds a lot like my 2002 Dodge Dakota 4.7L V8 with the hole in my muffler.

[@robertkrencik6158]

Add Doug Thorley long tube headers for the win. I don't have emissions testing where I live, so if you do, it's not an option. The DT long tube headers ad measurable HP and TQ. I have them and the MF exhaust like you. 2003 GX gets up and moves with this mod.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Now that sounds like fun!

[@bradleysargent9803]

That is nice! Looked up one for on 08 Land Cruiser. They don't have an overland kit for it :(

[@ManzanoManATVAdventures]

Love the exhaust and sound comparison. I couldn’t agree with you more. A V8 needs aftermarket exhaust. Aspen is talking now!

[@JusASix1]

How are those sliders holding up with the bedliner coating?

[@LifestyleOverland]

Doing great!

[@antimuscle]

I love mine, it’s just loud enough to hear that 8, but not loud enough to be annoying…

[@PearlyJarrett]

[@Bob-Campbell]

Any difference in power or fuel economy?

[@lexusgxlife6328]

Sounds great. I went with the MagnaFlow 11236 on my GX. Sounds great especially compared to factory.

[@dchamp1337]

Put a shot of silicone lube (not oil or WD40) on the rubber exhaust hangers, they come off / go on a LOT easier that way.

[@Reverend1776]

Is the 4runner's exhaust still stock?

[@gooseneckposse240]

A oxy/acetelyn torch will get em off

[@3RaptureReady]

What is the fuel tank skid you have?

[@vdub4utube]

Did you check the weight difference by any chance? Great video as always!

[@MissouriAdventures]

I'd love to see a Atrac VS Lockers video. I've searched and havent found one. Could you make one for us? With my LX470 only having Atrac I'd love to see how it compares to lockers and why they may, or may not be needed. I find it interesting that on Toyotas most expensive and well engineered vehicle lockers are not an option post 1999.

[@TheUnorthodoxx]

I have one on my Jeep Hemi Commander, I like it because there is no drone and it's a subtle low growl until you WOT!

[@Shazit222]

Aspen is insane. Probably you already said, but anyone knows the size of those tyres?

[@jamesmoffitt2658]

What are the tires you are running?

[@papajinx5231]

Very nice like the very subdued rubmle. I went with flomasters on mine. And i love the sound .but i dont drive it all over the western US to get to the crazy places ya'll go on the long hiway. Most of mine are 1 to 2hours away.

Fyi if you soak the heat wrap before installing. It allows you to wrap it tighter so it doesn't work loose later down the road.

[@mariog5062]

I can only wish I have the tools and mechanical aptitude you got Kevin. I swear that if I attempted a DIY exhaust mod, “f” bombs will be spewing out of my mouth. 🤣 Heck, I can’t even assemble an IKEA desk, there’s seems be an extra screw in the package. Oh well, I enjoyed the video and LOVE the exhaust growl!! Now that sounds like a V8. I gotta say it changed the character of your Rig. 😁👍✌️🇨🇦

[@yescavol1637]

Engage warp drive!

[@grizzlybaitak]

A definite improvement, but admit it, you secretly wish you'd left the new muffler off!

[@Live2dayWanderland]

Sounds awesome, magnaflow has always been great sounding. Nothing beats a new fun mod on the rig.

[@davidjackson8880]

LMAO on your first start up without the Overland installed. We just finished up a cat-back Magnaflow for my son's 2004 Tacoma TRD. It sounds so good that I am now looking at the Overland for my 5th gen 4Runner. Thanks for posting.

[@Tanner731]

the video made it seem quieter without mufflers than with the magnaflow. loud cars are fun sometimes, I have a really loud jeep that people think is a v8 all the time but my 4runner i just want to make even quieter than stock

[@jackchatfield8869]

Love the exhaust note! Those tyres don’t sound like they are wearing correctly though?

[@bakerfamilyoverland996]

Aspen is getting better and better👍

[@philiphannum4211]

It sounds very good for sure. Well done on the install.

[@chihuang658]

Was planning to get this but it comes a bit short of the factory bumper cut off. Maybe i will just do a muffler delete. Great video and best looking gx rig!

[@camiloverland]

Tires are way noiser than the new muffler! Funny

[@LifestyleOverland]

They've gotten much louder lately. I think they're having some cupping issues.

[@kenbaker4528]

I like it!👍👍👍

[@buganvilstudio]

Nice video mate. I have a Prado 150 that comes with the extended fuel tank. Do I really need to insulate the exhaust? I mean the factory exhaust doesn’t have that insulation. Is the magnaflow exhaust hotter for some reason? Maybe the material used? I’m considering this mod too. But that insulation you had to do because of the extended fuel tank got me thinking. Maybe I’ll just leave the stock exhaust lol. Regards.

[@pcarr8618]

Little off topic- Not getting any younger and have worked very hard for decades. Not much time to be fully involved (wrenching full time) with a build. Stumbled on your show a month or so ago and especially: Can you direct me to a firm in USA (Western States) to build out my 2011 Sequoia Platinum before I get to far into it. Or is this something you can consult and spec out equipment, shocks, power management front end and rear etc? Thank you Kindly, Pete

[@betweenthepines4000]

Went with MF due to its somewhat quiet design, high clearance and excellent build quality for my Jeep Gladiator. Love it!

[@MrDevinkaplan]

Factory GX exhaust sounds like a refrigerator. Magnaflo is necessary if you want a more authentic v8 experience

[@noirtiger1943]

@lifestyleoverland what was the bronze looking wrap you put on the pipe near the end of the install? I have an '06 V8 4runner, and I'm thinking about a Magnaflow. I don't want a resonator delete.

[@johnkoutsantonis6943]
