Default A couple of quick notes

First, all the other items can be found domestically. The front push bar can be had at Rod Millen Moptorsports http://www.rodmillenstore.com/rx_300...ccessories.htm

The stainless side tubes can be found at Manik http://www.manik.com/products/lexus.asp

A little word about the dual exhausts. Since they connect after the Cat-converter, they are not true dual exhausts. Meaning that you could more than likely get the same results at your local professional muffler shop. All the guy has to do is insert a Y-adapter, pick out two smaller stainless muffler's for the rear, and use some connecting pipe. I'm pretty sure it will cost less than $900, labor included.

The comment about the wheel/tires being chewed up is dead-on. While they look nice, the first time you hit a nasty pothole could spell damage. Not to mention the harsher ride you will get.

mrsypher, good question. I would love to have the dual exhaust, but will not buy into these. I don't want to give up my trailer hitch or the $900+. I guess the rod millen exhuast will be the next best thing. I'm still curious to see exactly how to get the exhaust routed to the driver side of the vechile. Like RX300TC stated, you could probably do the same at a muffler shop for cheaper. How about two RMM's!!!

I know.. That is why I wanted to see the Instructions and the Specs... $900 is not that bad considering there are two mufflers. But 2 of the RMM Mufflers wouldn't be bad either.... When I get the specs I will fill you guys in....

Yup, two will cost you about $700. Another $200 for the piping and labor should be doable.

Also, don't forget that if you're gonna make a more free flowing back-end, it'd probably be wise to invest in a more free flowing airbox/front-end. That way you won't lose anything on the top or bottom-end of your RPM range.

Absolutely. I've been saving and planning on getting the 2001 RX wood/leather wheel and airbag (must change the airbag too b/c I have a 2000). Well, that deal may fall throught. I have been trying to find out whether or not the 2001 RX airbag is compatible with the 2000 RX (LONG story), but it may not be.

So, if that turns out to be true, then I will do one of three things: 1. continue saving for tire/wheels package (18in.)
2. Go for the RMM exhaust and Weapon R intake (probably with
cold air box).
3. have a custom box built in the cargo area for a 12' subwoofer
and have it put in with the amp neatly hidden somewhere.

I actually already have the '01 wood/leather wheel, but don't want to get rid of it even if the deal falls through. I love that wheel!!

Hey Nick, You can go a little bigger on those wheels if you want. I think I am going to go with 19"X7.5" those will fit perfectly with some space so I can still have a good size of rubber... Here are the ones I think I am going to get... But not postive. I think they will look sweet.

Nice wheels. Will you need spacers?
