Catback Performance Exhaust (1 Viewer)

Has anyone opted for the catback exhaust option

No, but I'm thinking about it. Kind of pricy, so I may hold off until there's more info on it since it can always be bolted on down the road.

On facebook someone said they put on a Magnaflow catback system and they have a lot of vibration.

I’ve had good luck with Borla mufflers, but that was also with a V8. You have to find that right level of burble (or maybe “throaty sound” with a turbo V6) but no droning at speed.

I would really love a borla system

I’m not a big modder but that i would do

I installed MF and have no vibration issues. They could have installed the over axle pipe where it’s touching a crossmember. It’s very close and needs adjusted as you tighten the clamps. I also would not install this without turning off the augmented sound! When I turned that off, I found most of the weird engine noises I thought I was experiencing were just the ML processor trying to keep up with what the actual engine was doing. I thought I had a takeoff hitch but it was just noise and not the actual engine.

Just wondering about turning off the augmented sounds. Is that setting in the system setting menu? I’ve done that on an RX but haven’t come across this in the GX. Thanks.

I am also interested in the Lexus catback. I am seeing the price is as low as $650 on some sites. Part # is ptr03-60242 if anyone is curious. Just waiting on some feedback on the sound/drone before I pull the trigger, but haven't been able to find anything.

Edit: Its two parts. PTR03-60241 and PTR03-60242

The full exhaust is actually 2 pieces

Catback Performance Exhaust consist of parts: PTR03-60241 Center Pipe and PTR03-60242 Tail Pipe

the best price for both that I've found is $1829 before shipping (~$200 after shipping discount) and tax

Lexus Part Numbers: PTR03-60242 and PTR03-60241

Interesting. The Lexus site only lists one part number.

Info on GX550 OT+ Catback Exhaust

Hi First post here I just picked up my '25 OT+ and love it. My dealer allocation came with the performance catback option, and I've been trying to get more information on it. My dealer was unable to determine much about it. I've seen a couple of posts here, in the modder section, but nothing...

from the exhaust thread over on GX Talk

I also want a cat back but to be honest (my opinion only), sound improvements with minimal performance improvements is not worth an expensive cat back system. I do like sound improvements and for chits and giggles I had a magnaflow part 10416 welded and left all pipes and resonator in OEM conditions. Muffler and install about $350. Does it drone, yes but all systems have a small amount of drone. In my opinion the OEM luggage rack wind noise is much worse than the slight drone from this cheap modification. It sounds pretty darn good. I kept the OEM muffler in case a new buyer wants to reinstall it. Again the drone level is minimal and so far I’m pleased with it. Not making any recommendations as we all know drone/noise is a subjective choice
