You can try this link. http://www.rodmillenstore.com/rx_300/price.htm This is not a cat back but some reports say it gives 1mpg and some better performance.

I have the Rod Millen exhaust on my RX. It is a good exhaust, good quality and gives a little more boost in the mid to high RPM's plus it gives the car A nice sound to it. As for the intake I am waiting for Swift Racing to drop theirs, they said it should be out by the end of this month....

Haven't done anything about an intake yet, but I got a borla sport rear section (muffler back), it's cool, all S.S. with a borla tip on the back, sounds great too. Even better I got it for under $130.

Borla is doing a outlet thing on ebay every so often, they've got some old stock and discontinued exhaust systems that they're blowing out. This was listed as for a '99 but it bolted on fine to my '01.

Got on ebay, Borla has a user id there called borlaoutlet, they post old stock stuff there every so often.........

You might also try this guy, he's the one I completed the transaction with. He probably would sell you whatever he's currently got, so he doesn't have to do an auction:

VaporBlue, Does the exhaust on the RX sound anything like the sound clip on borla's website?

Borla does make a great product, I've got them on my other cars and I've always been happy with their products.

What I've got sounds a little deeper, I bought the "Sport" model which they stopped making, they had "standard" versions available also. The part numbers for the two versions they are selling are not the same as the one they currently sell. I'll try to get a picture of it posted as soon as I can.

If it sounds deeper then I bet it sounds great! I can't wait to see the picture

It does sound real cool, especially when you put your foot into it, of course it's louder when you cruise, but not enough that it's intrusive.

It's very hard to tell from that angle, but where did u find the picture?? One thing about this kind of exhaust, it's no good for our car, this is a straight through N1 style muffler which gives the car good highend power but less torque, for us, we need something similar to our original muffler size in order to gain performance.
