Default rx330 dual exhaust

ok i looked under my rx and said i think i can fit another stock resonator on the left side to copy the right side and give the lexus rx 330 dual exhaust like it really should have . i bought one off of ebay used for $94 delivered to my house bought some universol weld on hangers and some rubber hangers used just like on the right side now i am a do it yourself mig welder at home lots of experience so you will need that part for the job but can easily be done and i think looks great and i have it hooked up to the true exhaust as well i dont know how to post pics here but i will put in my album and i will post them in photos section 4/28/2013

Two things. Make sure wherever you weld on that side does not burn anything on the interior (Carpet). Secodnly, I would invest in some heat shielding and place it appropriately.

I am excited to see this as well! You might think about posting the link to the album once you are done.

I like the dual exhaust look...but the tips stick out too far for my tastes

It does stick out a little too much and sits a little too low.

you should look into modified hangers

What other guys said, too low and the tips are out too much...I first thought at reading your first post you were going for the stock look but with a dual tip look. What muffler did you use?

I pretty sure those are stock mufflers, but with bolt-on aftermarket tips

I'm sorry, but I have to agree with most. Those tips are a little too long. They stick out just a little too much. I don't mind tips being visible, but that is taking it to another level.

Very clean install underneath the RX, its very similar to mine. Since I went aftermarket route would it be possible to post a video of what it sounds like

thank you diverchris for the compliment very much appreciated!!! i was just mocking this up to see if it was doable and used supplies around my garage to mock this up i didnt spend any money accept for the used resonator i bought off of ebay and i have used alot of information for regular routine maintenance from alot of posters on here and i thought i would just show and give ideas to others to show it can be done with very little money and add a nice to touch to personalize our rx from others since in my area i never seen anyone with duals on the rx anyways i am not even going to comment on the others with there comments and thoughts and probably wouldnt even know to do with wrench if was handed to them enough said i am posting more pics rx330 dual exhaust cont. of my final results with spending a little more money on supplies knowing that it was and is going to work and look great too!!!

It might not appeal to everyone, but I must say, it is a real clean install and really took some skill to do. Amazing what people do to customize their rides!
