TunerZine.com Feature on Fox Marketing/Artisan Lexus IS F
Team,
This is my first post finally and I just got time to get on here. I have been so slammed with SEMA next week but wanted to let you guys check out the feature on the car that TunerZine.com did.
Wow, that looks mean.. Very nice. However, I do wish someone would replace the fake quad tail pipes with some real duals along with some different body work.. That's the only part of the car I still don't like.

Here is a look at the Artisan Twin-Turbo Kit pictures during the R&D stage. Be complete on Thursday with video shooting flames out the rear of the car! Wait till you see this boys and girls!

Did you know why Lexus did that from the factory with there quad tips? Because if you really beat on it the exhaust tips will get so hot it will melt the rear bumper!! It happens on M3's and Lexus didn't want this happening because if you send 60k on a car, THAT SHOULDN"T HAPPEN!! That is why Artisan didn't get rid of the tips on there exhaust for this simple reason. There is engineering behind things and know you have that knowledge also.

there is a corvette twin turbo kit out with the turbos under the rear like that... but i would think it would take longer for the exhaust to spool up the turbos and longer for the intake to pressurize since there is so much distance from the turbos to the engine

it's a remote mount system, a system like this would utilize small turbos so the turbo lag won't be too bad, this setup works but it's not effective if your shooting for big numbers
