Lexus GX460 Magnaflow Exhaust

[@thomasrutledge2743]

There’s a low-pitched “growl” coming from this GX 460! That sounds like a really nice V8...Excellent choice I believe. Nicely done sir!

[@lexusgxlife6328]

Thank you.

[@deanpecce6423]

Excellent choice! Aggressive but not obnoxious. Now its even more "Vader-esc".

[@lexusgxlife6328]

Closer and closer to the “Dark Side” lol

[@AndyLinker]

I'd like to hear this from inside the cabin.

[@CapnDanTreasures]

I just ordered a pair of these for my 09' 300C Heritage Edition 5.7L Hemi, it sounds like just what I want to achieve form my exhaust. thanks for the video.

[@tylernesmith267]

This is the move for sure over buying the magna flow overland full kit. I'll probably chop the resonator and turn it down earlier for more clearance. Thanks for the review

[@Md0tM.]

Would you happen to have a specs list for all your mods? Wheels, tires, lift, etc. I just got a 2010 GX and yours is the perfect stance!

[@Clayton_J]

Subtle rumble under load sounds great! Thanks for putting this together.

[@lexusgxlife6328]

You’re welcomed. Thanks for watching.

[@cschofield850]

Get it looking good and got it sounding good thanks for all the videos nice to see other places That I may not never get to see

[@lexusgxlife6328]

You bet

[@warbuzzard7167]

I think it was a pretty subdued improvement to the sound. I find the exhaust note of the standard GX to be so minimal as to be nearly non-existent. At least yours has a little presence.

[@lexusgxlife6328]

I did not want it to be obnoxiously loud. The Magnaflow has a low rumble that accomplished that. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@CodeUnknownTV]

3 months in and it’s way louder (which I’m very pleased with). At first it was silent. Is that normal? To have a sort of break in?

[@lexusgxlife6328]

Yes, there is a break in period.

[@ruslankhinotskiy8171]

Damn it another thing added to the list haha. My GX is getting expensive.

Noticeably less restriction upon start up. Nice job.

[@lexusgxlife6328]

Thanks!

[@chrisschumacher2657]

Sounds great. I want to put headers on my ‘21, delete the cats, and get this muffler. I can’t find any headers for it though! I have a header back on my 03 Tacoma, cat delete, and magnaflow cat-back. I’m getting 21 mpg average. Hoping if I do a similar setup it’ll help with mileage on this tank.

[@philwarren3581]

Check out LCE, Toyota engineers in Lake Havasu, AZ. They may have what you want.

[@chrisschumacher2657]

Thanks for the response. A year later, I’ve learned to value the absolute silence in the GX cabin. I’ll leave the noise for the Tacoma 🤣

[@g0ldensample21]

Thanks, that was very well put together and good sound quality. I think I'm going to order this myself :-)

[@lexusgxlife6328]

Hope you enjoy it when you get it. Thanks for watching.

[@scottgranger901]

I just got an ‘18 gx. Yours sounds awesome,thanks for doing the research for me! Also I used to live in Rancho Cucamonga so seeing the 15 and Toms’ Farm was an added bonus thank you.

[@BiggKuntryRedd]

Great choice. Magna is a sound brand. I love Borla. Couldn't have gone wrong either way. Lookin very nice bro

[@lexusgxlife6328]

Thanks Redd. Always more to do! Lol

[@swagsuga11]

I'd love to see decibel readings inside the cabin at highway speeds if that's possible!

[@lexusgxlife6328]

Great suggestion! I will try to get that information in my next video. Thanks for watching.

[@СергейСаргиджян]

Hi, why did you use model 11236 instead of 11226. As I understand it, there is a center/offset circuit in the exhaust and you have an offset/offset. Can you explain why you chose model 36? I also want to order for myself) thank you for the answer.

[@lexusgxlife6328]

The 11226 was out of stock everyplace when I had mine installed. Definitely go for the 11226 if it is available to you.

[@lexusgxlife6328]

Everything was welded.

[@chopperpl]

@@lexusgxlife6328 Was the muffler hanger already welded on, or did you have to cut the old one out and weld it on new muffler?

[@stefjohnson2403]

What roof rack are you using? Thoughts so far? Good? Bad? Thanks

[@lexusgxlife6328]

I am using the Prinsu. No complaints at all. It's a great rack.

[@AG-rk5hj]

Hey brotha love your GX mines is pretty much identical to yours just mines has the OEM wheels and BFG KO2’s! Quick question, are you running OEM UCA’s? I have an eibach 2.5 lift with OEM UCA’s and my GX has started to get bump steer when going over bumps, do you get any bump steer with yours?

[@lexusgxlife6328]

No, I’m running SPC UCAs and they have been great. I haven’t had any issues with bump steer.

[@photoguzzi753]

Have you looked into dual exhaust systems? I’m ready for my upgrade as soon I’m getting over 50K ( due to warranty sh*t and all)

[@javiercano5602]

Great build Sir. Ive gotta a black 2012 GX but I think the sound from that exhaust completes the whole menacing look... What trail where you on when you shot the video?

[@lexusgxlife6328]

Bedford Motorway to Santiago Peak.

[@colinberry2991]

Sounds just right. I know you probably didn’t install the new muffler yourself, but maybe show the whole exhaust system and which components you replaced? The before and after sound was good, do before and after visuals of the exhaust system too.

[@kimchourtang1325]

Sounds good

[@adamfigueira6482]

I’d like to know this too-I went and bought it, haha, after your original video on GXOR but I’d to see a pic of where they cut it and any other components they used like clamps and pipe extenders.

[@lexusgxlife6328]

Colin Berry I’ll crawl under there for some pics but it’s been >100 degrees everyday since installed! Lol

[@IS.2CU]

Cool video - thanks for sharing! Curious: Did you ever just consider doing a resonator delete?

[@lexusgxlife6328]

Yes I have but liked the sound of the Magaflow.

[@Dose1098]

This sounds great, just enough. How is the drone from inside? Thanks for posting.

[@lexusgxlife6328]

[@haocheng0521]

How about a car cruise? Can you handle the buzz inside?

[@smooth235]

I just got a magnaflow on my truck and it’s nice and deep but it’s very quiet. How long did it take yours to break in and get louder?

[@lexusgxlife6328]

Still breaking in but not too loud at all.

[@smooth235]

Lexus GX Life It’s supposed to get louder as the packing wears out. There’s a video on KZbin of JV Garage “Do Magnaflow’s get louder over time?” Showing his 1 year review. The magnaflow was significantly louder 1 year later. Though you said it’s not loud have you noticed a change in volume and rumble from when you first bought it? How is your cold starts?

[@ericholt3199]

Thinking about this for my 460, what are the “minor adjustments” you speak of exactly?

[@johnmayer8959]

Was wondering the same thing, any chance you ever found out?

[@ericholt3199]

Does this require removal of spare tire? Thank you :)

[@lexusgxlife6328]

No it doesn't. The 11236 is smaller than the stock muffler and is more toward the middle of the GX. Does not affect the spare tire at all. Thanks for watching.

[@ericholt3199]

@@lexusgxlife6328 thanks for the response! I appreciate your hard work. Keep the quality content coming :)

[@the-stig-nickname]

Bro what was the installation like? Was It bolt on? Have you considered using 4Runner cat back systems? Some say it is a bolts on for the GX470 but does it apply for GX460 too?

[@lexusgxlife6328]

I haven’t researched the 4Runner cat back system. The Magnaflow gave me the sound that I was looking for. There installation wasn’t bolt on but very minimal modification needed. Thanks for watching.

[@LifewithMario44]

My Black widow venom 250 jus came in how do you think my Gx 470 will sound??

[@heckeljohn]

Any improvement in performance?

[@lexusgxlife6328]

Sure sounds like it :). Not sure but I’m seeing increased fuel economy, possibly due to the open flow design of the muffler.

[@mikejohnson9118]

How is the 1800 rpm (1500-2000) drone? I have the 4.6L in my Tundra and every exhaust I have tried even with pre-resonators had drone. I ended up going with more or less a stock AP exhaust/muffler.

[@lexusgxlife6328]

Definitely more noticeable than stock but not bad.

[@mikejohnson9118]

@@lexusgxlife6328 How has this held up. Typically M-F's get louder after a couple of thousand miles.

[@scottgranger901]

Oh I forgot to ask, did you leave the resonator on at the tailpipe?

[@erasmorosenbaum6137]

After this long with your muffler do you regret it? Tia

[@cameronb1907]

Sounds really nice! Cat back, right? Your GX is really similar looking to mine: black with black wheels (Method for me). I'll check out the rest of your videos! Looks like I have a bad cat on the passenger side manifold, so I stumbled upon this video.

[@SANTANA1deep]

Was there any cutting involved?

[@lexusgxlife6328]

BMC was done.

[@mohammedalmuteb5501]

At least you tried so we don't have to. 😁

[@vivasjimmy]

I see this is not the entire exhaust system like other videos.... so you kept all the pipe and just replace the exhaust?

[@roveirdatu3851]

If I get a gx with 200k miles, can I still take it on road trips?

[@lexusgxlife6328]

Depends on how the previous owner took care of it. I would have it thoroughly checked. The platform is solid but certain maintenance must be completed. Sounds like you’re referring to a GX470. That model has a timing belt, so I would definitely have that and the water pump replaced. I have a GX460 and my model has a timing chain. I would jump on the Facebook or Instagram GXOR forums. There is a lot of valuable information there.

[@roveirdatu3851]

Lexus GX Life thx for sure I’ll look for those forum. I’ve seen a few bad and good but I’ve been just looking for the big cost like rust on chassis or leaks.
