Default exhaust (RX330)

I was surfing thru http://www.l-tunedparts.com and noticed they have exhaust systems for our 04-05 RX330. Does anyone have any kind of experience with the TTE or the Prussian Blue systems?

Anyone have pictures of the full system off the car?

I believe they are both mufflers, not cat back exhaust system.

I have been thinking of removing the rear small muffler and making a straight pipe. Make it sound a little more "manly". Put a nice SS tip on for appearance. Maybe even a "slight" increase in power. Any thoughts?

Aloha,
Larry

It would be better to replace the resonator (RX300, double check with 330) behind catalytic convertor with a pipe for sound and more hp gain. I would leave muffler on.

I only have 400 miles on the RX. The small back muffler is two bolts to remove. I thought if I needed warranty work it would be easy to change back .

You probably don't want your new RX to fart like a ricey Civic. I would go for a Japanese muffler since the sound is deep during acceleartion but minimal at cruising speed - Japan has noise control law for performance muffler to make after market exhaust better designed.
