OK. It’s been almost a week since I had the new muffler installed, and here is what I have found. The initial sound has mellowed to a deeper rumble, but will let you know its there when you hit the gas. Acceleration from a stop will spin the stock Goodyear’s before traction control takes charge. There is a very noticeable increase in power; I did not expect this much. MPG has not gotten better, maybe because I have been playing with the new power. I would do it again.

ObiDon, do you notice an increase in power just in the low end, or at highway speeds to? Glad you are enjoying your new exhaust

The performance seems to be all across the band. Since the RX builds torque fast anyway, it feels like the HP is picking up faster. Anyway I like it MPG is up about 1 after the second tank.
