after all, the whole purpose of this exercise is to make sure the production car is as high performance as possible, it makes sense to keep the racing version as close as possible to that car.]]>Apr 22nd 2008 5:31PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/22/spy-video-lexus-lf-a-sounds-as-mean-as-it-looks/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/22/spy-video-lexus-lf-a-sounds-as-mean-as-it-looks/

It has a purpose though. Due to the firing order of a V10, different sections open at different levels of throttle/engine revolutions.]]>Apr 22nd 2008 4:20PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/22/spy-video-lexus-lf-a-sounds-as-mean-as-it-looks/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/22/spy-video-lexus-lf-a-sounds-as-mean-as-it-looks/
And to answer your other question, it won't sound like that in street form because this one is a race car.

That said, the three exhaust tip thing is strange, and I think ugly. Of course, the quad tips on the IS-F aren't any better, so pick your poison, I suppose.]]>Apr 22nd 2008 4:33PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/22/spy-video-lexus-lf-a-sounds-as-mean-as-it-looks/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/22/spy-video-lexus-lf-a-sounds-as-mean-as-it-looks/Apr 22nd 2008 5:03PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/22/spy-video-lexus-lf-a-sounds-as-mean-as-it-looks/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/22/spy-video-lexus-lf-a-sounds-as-mean-as-it-looks/Apr 22nd 2008 5:21PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/22/spy-video-lexus-lf-a-sounds-as-mean-as-it-looks/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/22/spy-video-lexus-lf-a-sounds-as-mean-as-it-looks/
I said they were purposeful, not necessary]]>Apr 22nd 2008 5:30PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/22/spy-video-lexus-lf-a-sounds-as-mean-as-it-looks/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/22/spy-video-lexus-lf-a-sounds-as-mean-as-it-looks/
This is supposed to be a 'Lexus', so even firing V10, all the exhaust comes out the common pipe.
and the variable backpressure exhaust (the other two, one for each bank) opens up if you are greater than 1/2 maximum engine speed (4500) and greater than 1/2 throttle.]]>Apr 22nd 2008 8:52PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/22/spy-video-lexus-lf-a-sounds-as-mean-as-it-looks/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/22/spy-video-lexus-lf-a-sounds-as-mean-as-it-looks/Apr 22nd 2008 4:09PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/22/spy-video-lexus-lf-a-sounds-as-mean-as-it-looks/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/22/spy-video-lexus-lf-a-sounds-as-mean-as-it-looks/Apr 22nd 2008 4:24PM
