Tuning & Mods for Lexus GS350 AWD FSport?

[HiccaBurp]

My good friend has a 2016 Lexus GS350 AWD FSport. He would like to add things like exhaust, intake, tuning, etc.. just to give it a little more zip. Any recommendations? I'm not familiar with Toyota... thanks!

No idea on this platform. Maybe see if AMS is doing anything with them? Could try buzzing Sound Performance as well but I somewhat doubt they mess with these.
[MENTION=10308]BS ISF[/MENTION], you got any tips?

Yeah, doesn't seem like it's heavily supported.. tons of stuff for the IS, not much on the GS. I will email AMS and see if they do.

There are only two that are completely proven with the first being IMO most dedicated to the platform:

RR Racing:
RR Racing Motorsports Engineering and Tuning

Tuning Tech:
Tuning Tech FS

I think so far nobody has broken that lexus ecu. So intake/exhaust won't do a whole lot.

I know the only group that does stuff with them that I have heard of is rrtuning

Also he should get on clublexus.com for a list of vendors for all his bolt-on needs.

Thanks! I will definitely tell him to get on there.

I wish there was an aftermarket for this model. Stupid this same engine goes into a Lotus with a supercharger yet no one has a supercharger kit available. Supply and Demand I guess.

As mentioned previously TTFS and RR Racing have tuned a few Lexus models. Orange Virus tuning has started tuning Lexus's. I have a second gen IS350 (same engine). I am going to send my ECU off for a bench flash next week. They are running a special for $299 for a bench flash. From what I have been reading on ClubLexus it sounds like their tune is legit.

Here is some info on their tuning:

They are "supposedly" going to be releasing a transmission tune for the 2nd gen IS. I have not heard if they will be tuning the GS. It wouldn't hurt to contact them about it.

I would really like to see a company focus on forced induction for the 3.5L.

People mod lexuses? I thought these cars were just made to haul golf clubs.
