I love the Quad Exhaust look. I was browsing the Russia forums, I love the Dual exhaust and rear lip look, anyone know what kit or exhaust system that is???

I think they're fake exhaust tips like how Lexus is integrating into their bumpers. And I believe the body kit you see a couple times in that Russian thread is from Cusco. Google cusco+gx 460 and a silver one shows up. Still don't know how to get that kit though. Maybe ask Nigel(vendor).

Thanks for the Intel! Lexus should of made that stock on the 2014. I been looking for options for mods, but not too many people mod the gx. I guess stock is just as nice! Picked up my 2014 last week. coming over from the IS model. Thanks again!

There is probably not enough market to sell too in North America. GX isn't exactly the big seller in NA region but it's completely the opposite in other parts of the world where these trucks are everywhere which in turn creates enough market for the modding community.

I don't think the exhaust is fake (but I might be wrong) -- it would look extremely weird with smoke coming from only one side of the tailpipes otherwise.

On the same forum there is 200+ pages modding thread for the LX570 too: http://club-lexus.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27173

The exhaust isn't fake I agree. When I was browsing the Russian forum, there were some undercarriage shots of some of the GXs where they were showing off the dual exhaust. I am sure a custom exhaust shop can fabricate it for someone, they do that stuff all the time.

I had to loose my spare tire according to 2 Meineke shops. The Maxflo gives a nice but not obnoxious rumble.

Damn! that sucks you had to lose the spare. There was no way to save it? What was the cost like on something like that. BTW sweet looking GX, mind posting some more pics? Very cool.

Thats a sweet looking set up for the quad exhaust! I agree more pics please! I guess it will have to be custom if I want to change the exhaust look, I prefer to keep my spare for emergencies. I wonder if there is another way around it?

I had the first shop install the exhaust for $400 and I paid the second Meineke shop about the same to rebuild the system due to uneven and brackets in the wrong place so I would notice my tips in a different place. I do not trust the morons from the first shop but I have some confidence in the second shop and I was shown the same pipe routing issue from both. I did buy a no spare tire emergency kit with compressor, plugs etc. That I put in a weather proof bag and strapped it where the spare would go. I knew I would feel better having the tire pressure monitoring system but that brought on a whole new problem. Loosing the spare gave a trouble condition light and it took several mechanics and attempts to clear it out. I do intend to start a new thread with pics but have none for now and the weather is crap in Atlanta this week so soon to come.

Default Spoke with a forum member in Russia.

I asked for help with the dual exhaust shown on the first page of this thread. He spoke with the group on Club-Lexus.ru about the parts. The system incorporated a custom Y Pipe from the factory setup center muffler. Then it comes out to a single exhaust pipe. After all that is mounted, these are purchased for finishing:

A little disappointing, but hopeful something may be done at some point. The image has a watermark of do not copy, so I do not want to post it here.

I wish they (Lexus) would have incorporated a dual oval type exhaust integrated into the lower bumper something like the LS has. I wish a company would make something like that for these as that would look really slick
