Just got my 3IS and I’m so glad to have your videos for reference. They are so clear in the explanations and I’ve already am working on updating all my lights so thanks!
Great channel my friend and great looking car! I have been following for a few months and love the videos. I will be looking at getting a Lexus IS 500 in the new year! Can't wait! Hope all is well!
@@geraldhouser7171 I do not. I threw it in real quick not too long ago. Thankfully, the charge pipe comes with very detailed instructions, with pictures. So, it would be hard to miss a step. Was like a 1 hour install. 🙌
I’ve had this tune since april, and the problems I had with it was having to choose from the Stage 2 Enhanced Throttle or the Stage 2 Pops/Bangs and now I see you have what I think is a new Stage 2 Enhanced Throttle with Pops so I need to plug my device in to my computer and see if I have that updated tune. 😂
Last thing, If you want to get to the new rev limit, u have to turn tc off, and shift manually, or else the car will shift for you at the stock limit (6,100 i think) regardless of the tune😂 figured that out recently
@ i downloaded the part where saves so when u wanna go back stock you can but i started another download then accidentally clicked back then kept messign with it then it statted saying key not on so i unplugged it and tried to start the car and it didnt work at all so they said send the ecu to them and theyll fix it for free i just gotta pay for the shipping what a day man
i got the v6 3is and i been looking at buying one but im still confused on how to get those pops bc i heard for us v6 we need to have our 2nd cats off and others says we need headers so honestly idk if you know bc i don’t wanna blow something up🙃
So when you buy the pops addon and they ask what tune you want it added to, does that mean it only works for that specific tune? I know they have the custom ones you can make, but are you able to add the pops to any custom tune after you purchase the addon?
Haven’t tried to add pops to different tunes in the custom tuner software, but it’s probably possible! I would explain that you want pops and bangs on both stage one and two, if they ask. They automatically applied it to both of my stage two’s. The one with and without the enhanced throttle.
Hey so I have a 2017 is300 and it’s currently stock but I would really love to get this same tune and I was just wondering if it would fit for my car because I’m confused on what 8ARFTS means
That’s the engine code! If you have a 2017 IS300, that means it’s a V6. So, not the same engine as mine. D3 doesn’t tune that version of the V6, so your best bet would be RR Racing. 🙂
I had it professionally installed! But it’s a direct replacement of your factory system, then you have to run a vacuum line to your engine bay. Not too hard, and it comes with instructions. And it comes with two small remotes! I have one of the remotes mounded by my factory switches/ buttons by my left knee. 🙂
Nice video! Just a stupid question, how are you able to see your temperature levels in the gauge cluster. Is it aftermarket install or comes in is200T?
do you think I should consider getting this D3 tune over the m force for my 15’ IS350? and also would getting the PPE Catless headers be absolutely necessary if I want pops and bangs or could I get away with secondary cat delete and muffler delete?
I think you should! It was night and day compared to my Mforce tune. And you would definitely need catless headers to have the pops and bangs. You can try and run stock headers, but they will most likely become blown after a few weeks of using the pops and bangs. They are pretty aggressive, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they would blow sooner.
Just got a tune...decided whether to get a quad exhaust axle back or an intake (good sound but heard it can affect performance) do you have any recommendation on which kind and if you had to choose between the 2, which one would you choose?
Intake is AMAZING for sound on the turbo models and helps with some power gains. But exhaust is also nice. Really depends on what kind of noise you’d rather hear.
Do you think it would be possible to run the pop and bang tune with a high flow downpipe or you gotta go catless? Is the smell of catless super bad on this car?
Hey you inspired me to get the tinted tail lights from tanso works it is officially been over a year and four months and still have heard nothing from them. I tried to get my money back from the bank, but they say they needs to agree to give me a refund in order for me to get my money back. Do you think I’ll ever get my order?
Not sure what’s up with Tanso. They have been MIA for a while. I recommend explaining to your bank that you never got the order, and file a claim/ investigation. Please let me know if you’re interested in parts. I now sell pretty much everything that they used to sell. Sorry this happened.
Yo i have a lexus is300 2024 and i want to add a front lip but im on lease so i dont really wanna drill new holes into the bottom. Might be a stupid question but does the bottom of the car already come with pre drilled holes? Did yours come with pre drilled holes meant for front lip?
@@9_warrants368 They don’t come with pre-drilled holes for front lips. But your best bet might be the NIA front lip. They use the factory front bumper mounting clips to mount the front lip. However, it still isn’t a bad idea to still use some screws with that lip.
hey man could you help me out? I have a 2018 rwd 2.0t is300 sport, running ingen intake, armytrix cat sim downpipe, no muffler or resonators, and hps charge pipe, what other parts can I do or need for performance? and is the d3 tune better for speed and sound or the mforce? I was going to go all out and spend the $1200 on the mforce but after watching im not sure which direction to go, thanks
@@jearbear6110 Hello! Other than the turbo muffler delete, seems like you have everything! And D3 is the way to go. Boosts the performance dramatically. Plus, Mforce doesn’t tune the 2.0t anymore. So, D3 is definitely the way to go. 🙌
@@Grey3IS sounds good! don’t mean to bother and appreciate the help/info, i also just got rsr super low springs… did you put those on yourself? i was watching videos and it seems difficult but i know shops will charge me 1k+ to install
@ I did not put them on myself. I did not want to have to compress the springs myself. It was just easier to take it to a shop. I got charged around $500 for the install.
Wish I saw this earlier. Just purchased an rr racing tune for my is300 awd. They had sales on their tune about $450 usd compared to $630 usd at d3...its actually crazy that theres absolutely not much online reviews on both products. Do you plan on putting it on the dyno to compare numbers from stock and after tune? Would make great content!
@@to8840 I hope you’re enjoying RR! D3 has dyno numbers on their website, so theres that for now. But funny you ask. I may or may not be doing this soon on their dyno at their headquarters. 😁
@@Grey3IS yeah just ordered mine yesterday and waiting for it to come in the mail but thank you. Yes!!! Thats awesome. Can't wait for you to post it. 👌🏼🙏
@ They are RPM lights. But because my exhaust system plugs into my OBD port, I cannot use them. I will be getting a different steering wheel soon. You can get a custom wheel from texasdiscountcarbon! Use code GREY3IS at checkout. 🙂
VF is just a tuning device/ software! Once our ECU is fully unlocked, mostly all tuners will be capable of tuning to that ECU capability. So tuners can tune using the VF device/ software, or for D3’s sake, they can release a new tune to apply to your car using their existing device. Hope this makes sense!
VF is another software for tuning! So once our ECU is fully unlocked, VF as well as D3 will be able to tune using their platform. Therefore, I’d be able to use my same tuning device, but just load a new tune onto there. 🙂
Ahh yeah. Many things like this can’t go to Cali for legal/ emission reasons. Best bet is to have someone buy it and ship it to you from outside of Cali.. as a gift! 🥰
@@noahmonte8581 It’s been the same! I’ve been tuned since the second day of my ownership of this car. For the past three years, I average about 26 to 28 miles per gallon.

So informative man, I’ve been waiting for this UA-cam video. Absolute class from mr grey3is, with his content and his Instagram !
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate the support.
Heck yeah bro, I’ve been waiting for u to review the d3 tuner. Going to get one now
It’s amazing. I just wanna keep driving 😅.

Man it’s about time awesome
By any chance do you have a video tutorial on how to install the charge pipe?
@@geraldhouser7171 I do not. I threw it in real quick not too long ago. Thankfully, the charge pipe comes with very detailed instructions, with pictures. So, it would be hard to miss a step. Was like a 1 hour install. 🙌
Love ❤ this machine!!! Very clean and well taken care of!!! Keep it up bro it’s a good look !!
subscribed! trying to get a 2022-2024 IS 350 and modding it ill come here for info man thank you
I just picked up an IS you make me wanna do content lol
I have an is350 2023, so i can get this tune and call it a day ? i have a midpipe gthuas and remark axle back. what do you recommend brother.
Just double check their website to make sure their tune fits/ there are no other requirements, and you should be solid!
DO you have 94 octane or better where you are? I just switched to a blend of Sunoco 100 and Shell 91. Made a huge difference on the stock tune.
Oh wow! 93 is what you usually see at most pumps around me.
I’ve had this tune since april, and the problems I had with it was having to choose from the Stage 2 Enhanced Throttle or the Stage 2 Pops/Bangs and now I see you have what I think is a new Stage 2 Enhanced Throttle with Pops so I need to plug my device in to my computer and see if I have that updated tune. 😂
Because I love the pops, but after experiencing enhanced throttle, going back makes the car feel super laggy 😂
Last thing, If you want to get to the new rev limit, u have to turn tc off, and shift manually, or else the car will shift for you at the stock limit (6,100 i think) regardless of the tune😂 figured that out recently
All good to know!! Hope there is an update for you! 🙂
Cleanest is200t on YT
I got a 2016 lexus gs350 and i bought perfomance tuner with. Pops and bangs but how can i do it without a computer?
You’ll need a computer to load it onto the device!
@@Grey3IS i tried today now my car wont start the ecu doesnt work i gotta ship it back and they will fix the ecu
@ Hmm. Weird! What did D3 say about it?
Did anything happen while tuning, like did it not finish?
@ i downloaded the part where saves so when u wanna go back stock you can but i started another download then accidentally clicked back then kept messign with it then it statted saying key not on so i unplugged it and tried to start the car and it didnt work at all so they said send the ecu to them and theyll fix it for free i just gotta pay for the shipping what a day man

How easy was the installation for the armytrix exhaust?
And I noticed you had a button to open and close the valves, is that included in the kit
I had it professionally installed! But it’s a direct replacement of your factory system, then you have to run a vacuum line to your engine bay. Not too hard, and it comes with instructions.
And it comes with two small remotes! I have one of the remotes mounded by my factory switches/ buttons by my left knee. 🙂
@@Grey3IS awesome! how much was the quote for the installation?
@@baldwinmai2838It was $500 🙂
Nice video! Just a stupid question, how are you able to see your temperature levels in the gauge cluster. Is it aftermarket install or comes in is200T?
@@Hawkwork_6969 You can do it in the f sport turbo 4cyl models! You just slide the gauge cluster over with the button on the steering wheel.
Both my cousins got 2022 Lexus is300 2.0t and is350 pretty nice sedans 😊 I got a Z and a Supra

Thank you for your support.
Do you think it would be possible to run the pop and bang tune with a high flow downpipe or you gotta go catless? Is the smell of catless super bad on this car?
@@editstq3846 Maybe! I’d be worried it will blow them.
And the smell isn’t too bad. Definitely noticeable, but I enjoy it. 😅
If you turn off traction, you can shift at a higher rpm in manual, but it won’t do it automatically for you👍🏽

Check out their website! They tune the ES.
@Grey3IS will do thanks
Is there a stage 2 tune without pops and bangs?
Yup! You just don’t order the pops and bangs extra, or don’t select it on the device when tuning your car. 🙂
you gotta do the rpm increase!
@@smokedout.e2270 I’ll try it soon!
Is there a light pops and bangs tune where you don’t have to remove the cats kind of like the Elantra N?
Unfortunately no. Pops and bangs will damage your OEM cats in general for our models.
How did you go catless on your car. With the armytrix exhaust or you actually installed a Downpipe?@Grey3IS
@ I have the Armytrix catless downpipe in addition to the Armytrix catback system!
@Grey3IS they have 2 on their website, one's ceramic and they both say cat simulator. Which one did you get?
@ I got the ceramic coated one. It helps retain heat better.
I have a 2016 IS 350 can I do this on that?
Yes! Check out their website. They offer tunes for the 350. Plus, they’re having sales right now. 🙌

Your car shifts up in manual mode?
Yup! They all will auto-up shift if you hit red line, unless your traction is fully off.
No stage 2 available for the 18-20 3.5 :(
It pulls more boost from the turbo, pretty much. So it’s most likely only a turbo 4cyl add-on 😕.
What type of rotors and calipers do you have ?
OEM rotors and calipers! I painted my calipers burnt orange. Check out my brake pad install video. I have some nice pads installed. 🙂
