Now, all are clean and fixed (with Super Glue ,

Today I did finally "X" exhaust, because I had a leak, the car was too laud, and I always wanted to have X

Car is now quite silent, as Lexus should be I think...

Performance is better, first acceleration from lights...VSC on....wow, why (weater was ok today))

The only problem is: when I'm acclerating (with kick-down or fast from 0 km/h) I feel like something under my left leg has a contact with the ground...but I checked it, and it is impossible, no scratches etc...I don't know what it is.

pictures:

Small update.

After 1 year, and 10.000 km (6.000 miles) I checked my engine oil, and level is the same as it was 1 year ago.

I have already ordered mounts for engine:

1 SEAL AND GASKET KIT Toyota 0447830240
2 MOUNTING Toyota 1237150200
3 CLIP Toyota 9046708186C0
4 MOUNTING Toyota 1236150111

and clips (3) for the trunk

I need to change my mounting because when I was replacing exhaust, mechanic "melted" one

Finally I did a pics.
Below, my old engine mounts after 220 000 km (136 000 miles)

The difference on idle is very very big. Zero vibrations.
