GX460 & GXOR B.S. thread (6 Viewers)

[r2m]

Just sharing this here (as I did in my build thread) for double visibility. Know a lot of people were on the fence about upgrading their exhaust, so here's my video showing the stock system vs the Magnaflow Overland kit.



Full review also on Hooniverse

Nice sound and seems pretty quiet when idling.
Non related question: looking at your video while you had the camera on the binnacle I noticed your steering wheel with stitching where I have wood on mine. Do you have a leather steering wheel wrap on your wheel? If so, who's is it?? The faux leather/poly-plastic material on the sides of the wheel are wearing through and I hate the look.

It wants me to "sign in" for some reason to watch. it... but I AM signed in.

[never mind, I was able to access it in Youtube.]

Hopefully it doesn’t give everyone issues. I like the easy to watch stuff that others post.

I've always got a thumbs up available for Hooniverse links. I don't frequent the site as much as I used to, but I'm glad to see it's still truckin'. Hooniverse and Atomic Toasters were the best part of the internet for a long time.

Thanks! It's one of the holdouts as so many other sites vanish. I still love it.

& man does Atomic Toasters take me back. I still see the tag every time I go to post something on the site.

That's surprisingly quiet at cruise. Do you have dB readings via phone by curiosity? Getting my system below 60 db at cruise was a major challenge but it's perfect now.

No dB readings yet but can get them next time I'm on the road with the GX which should be next Saturday. Will try to remember...

Yeah idle is very mellow which is what I wanted.

No steering wheel wrap, OEM unit in its entirety

Which models did the wood grain wheel come on? I have it on my 2010 Base, but I know after 13' the options changed in terms of which tech came on which package. I also think I have the "comfort or tech" package as I have the rear AC unit and some other upgrades I think.
Ross you got a Base, Luxury or Premium?

Base trim here

No clue what would translate to wood trim wheel

I confirmed with Alex, this is, indeed, a sky nipple.

Base trim with rear AC and the boat style wood steering wheel.

Yeah mine has neither of those, only things on the option sheet were heated seats and a cargo net

I specifically looked for a Base model, but nothing else.

you have the unicorn with the comfort package and the standalone wood/leather trimmed steering wheel and shift knob?

I forgot the build codes, but they stopped doing that right around 2016, or when the GX program was suppose to be cancelled from the lineup.

From the 17 onwards it became a premium trim and higher option.

Sweet. The huskies do like the AC

I do wonder sometimes what performance difference the dual zone and trizone have?

 

[Banandalorian]

The 3 zone GX has a dedicated HVAC for the 3rd zone which is great if you have dogs or rear seat passengers or just hate being hot.

 

[Hiluxforever]

Yep. It's great for auxiliary cooling.

If you ever have any one use the heater in the rear seats, make sure you reset the temperature.
My daughter and her old boyfriend were back there one time in the Winter and set the temp to around 80°F. Later in the year, July, my wife and I drove to my Dad's in Texas.
Triple digit temp's outside and my AC was not keeping up, even when lowering down to the max (64°F ?), we kept feeling warm air.
My heart sunk....
Checked the 3 zone climate settings and found that the rear seat was pumping out hot air, fighting the front in trying to pump out cold air!
Changed the 3rd zone to 73°F and moved the front settings to the same, and we were almost too cold! All was good in the universe!

 

[Acrad]

Just a reminder... if 3 zone... GX 470 just has a AC evaporator in the rear while 3 zone in the 460 also has a heater core

Or in the words of Jake @WTITW a cross between a Borg Ship and an Utopian Oil Refinery
