Nark Forums Junkie Location: Cabramatta, NSW Registered: May 2002	Re: Lexus LS400 Wed, 13 July 2005 10:39 Here are the replies from an LS400 owning friend of mine: How good is the stock sound system? (especially subwoofer wise) : the sound system is xclnt even for the standard pioneer setup, but it depends one how much its been hammered by the owner, if u r lucky they may have opt for the hi end Nakamichi setup, didn't hear it but, the name should suggest audiophile quality. all door speakes comes with its own chamber to tune the bass so if you plan to upgrade get 4in speakers so they will fit right in but they are the slim type, so big magnets are out of the question, the sound from the speakers and sub are adequate for normal humane levels, if u are a hard rocker, u will need to get the deep throw 10in sub accompanied by good amp if u want big bass. this will help you to minimise the amount of custom work and replace the oem 10in Is it worth getting a new exhaust to increase the power? (not wake up the neighbours), full xtractor setup will definitely get you more power, but don't go for two big cats, as the car is fairly low and u will definitely damage it over speed humps, trust me 3 time I got it replaced, get the lowest profile cat you get get or one wide low profile cat. But don't expect mircales! its only one mod, you should consider airtake mods at the same time to get the full benefits. Plus if its done right is should sound very nice and deep but not loud, loud does not always correspond to more power, but each to their own taste and ricyness. the main thing I notice was better acceleration response and slightly better top end power. What kind of effect would 18" rims on low profile tyres have on the handling and feel of the car? And if I lower it a bit? 18in will look normal on the car as its a big car already. You may consider lowring it about 1 to 1.5in to get the better effect, but to have fulisik look 20in is not uncommon, but do you want fork out mega dollars for a tyre change. 18in will give you huge response over the standard rim, you will get a lot better fed back and more confidence when you fling it around as there is less tyrewall flex. Which applies to all cars. remember its a heavy car. How much difference would 98 octane premium fuel make over regular unleaded? the 1uzfe can not use regular unleaded, it will ping like crazy, only 98RON can be used, only in emergency should you use it. Does it matter if I get it serviced at Lexus or not for anything other than resale value? if its a 91 model, I would not bother, its resell value does not justify the premium service. it would not make a difference where you service for a car of that age.
