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

[@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.

[@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]

😁😁🔥🔥👍👍 HEY THERE MY BUDDY- PLEASE PLEASE WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE VEHICLE 🚗 CELLPHONE BOOSTER??? A Year Ago you made a Video about it and you said, YOU WOULD let us know if it worked well after you used it for awhile..??? Haha 😂 WHERE IS THAT REVIEW???? Haha 😆

[@Rich.MagnaFlow]

MagnaFlow here .. talk to me :)

[@JVictor75]

"I'm gonna leave it off, it sounds good!" Your Rural Tennesee upbringing is showing, Kevin! (I say this as someone with a rural Texas upbringing.... it *did* sound good, lol.)

[@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.

[@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.

[@chaseprimus]

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

[@momentsbymagnus]

Thanks for showing the comparsion under load, many people doesn't understand that it is what's most interesting to hear!

[@joshuaadams291]

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.

[@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.

[@D.Trider]

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

[@joehop5780]

Very nice been waiting for this to happen since you guys bought the rig! Got a let that V-8 sing

That’s the best way to watch Lifestyle Overland. I watch them on a 58 inch TV and it’s better than a smaller device.

[@johnkoutsantonis6943]

love the magnaflo, i had an 18" version on my tundra before this overland version came out , looked pretty close to the same size. building another tundra now, gonna try this one.

[@betweenthepines4000]

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

[@COGirl444]

The takeoff comparison was the most awesome :)

[@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

[@juanf.romero9111]

That was a bloody good outcome mate, have fun.

[@jamie.andrews]

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

[@joshblount133]

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

[@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!

[@PearlyJarrett]

most brutish elegant rig I've ever seen, pure awesomeness

[@ManzanoMan_Adventures]

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

[@worldwide_wes]

Awesome comparison videos at the end. Sounds so good!

[@brucedouglas7643]

Outstanding!!! Love the deeper throaty rumble on acceleration.

[@mgproudfit]

What Jack are you using there? Would love a good garage Jack recommendation for my runner.

[@philiphannum4211]

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

[@Thejwh4323]

The take-off sound sold me! I put a 5” straight pipe on an F250 by myself so this should be a breeze. Thanks for the video.

[@bradleysargent9803]

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

[@Live2dayWanderland]

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

[@glennferrer6349]

Oh yes. I got that myself for my 3Gen 4runner. Awesome sound 👌🏽

[@lexusgxlife6328]

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

[@MrGgraham76]

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

[@robbergstrom943]

The sound of freedom.

[@serkansaygin]

Nice and smoth sound 😍

[@Malc664]

Sounds great at the rear. Good for those passing shots on the trails.

[@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. 👍🏻

[@bakerfamilyoverland996]

Aspen is getting better and better👍

[@gvanlaere]

Sounds so good!

[@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.

[@vdub4utube]

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

[@jackchatfield8869]

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

[@JusASix1]

How are those sliders holding up with the bedliner coating?

[@LifestyleOverland]

Doing great!

[@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.

[@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.

[@GrablifeCO]

I’m a fan of cold air intakes. You get a throatier sound, improved gas mileage and little more torque to add to the get up and feel. Nice upgrade to Asian and sounds good.

[@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.

[@rossfudd256]

I heard Sarah say, "What ever makes YOU happy"! Her emphasis.

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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. 😁👍✌️🇨🇦

[@Mr.International82]

Does a protective undercoat spray protect and prevent the underbody from Rusting over time?

[@mfalme]

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

[@stout_tossme7541]

Sounds awesome. I loved the magma flows I have put on my rigs in the past. They soup d good without overpowering while driving.

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

[@freedomrunna4257]

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

[@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.

[@daved7024]

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

[@jamesmoffitt2658]

What are the tires you are running?

[@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!

I think it sounds great. Not too ratty. Now rip out the carbon/charcoal intake box filter, add a Toyota intake airflow accelerator (a venturi that couples the fender well with the air box), and a fresh Toyota air filter and you're off to the races.... for a stock intake.

I should say that I took it off and adjusted it several times and got a new washer and it clearly was squeaking where the two spring loaded bolts are. Magnaflow never responded to my emails about this!
