The wheels are TSW mondellos.

I went with 2.25" cause it's a lexus not a muscle car. The sound is perfect not obnoxiously loud but loud enough. I went with that style of muffler cause i wanted to stick with a more import style muffler since it is a Lexus and not a Cadillac, and since they are wide open i have a couple resonators to take out any rhasp there would have been.

not in this case, do a search for JBrady's exhaust advice. the 2.5 would open up the exhaust a bit much and us 1UZ guys would lose some of the little low rpm power we have. 2.25 is perfect for a stock motor and its pointless to go bigger unless u either go high tuned NA or just go FI.

I got it along with most everything from Luxury Mods They have a lot better product and pricing than a lot of other sites i've found. I was thinking about buying the Injen intake though. The RMM is just an adaptor for a bigger filter and a K&N cone. It sounds awesome though. If anyone knows which would be better some info would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!!
