Looks really nice. Do you have to cut the valance or does it come with a new one?

From the exact pictures I have seen yes you will have to cut the valance.

You asked what we think, so here it goes: Looks like of very high quality. That's good. Your ride will be louder (I presume) and to me, that's a bad. I doubt anyone will ever notice the quad ports. Nobody associates RXs with high performance, otherwise it'd be called the Habanero 350/450. Have fun, though.

^DItto. More exhaust is like having at least 4 women from that show "The View" behind your RX, it's gonna be loud.

Actually the is only it is only +2 dbs louder then stock but its mainly for looks.

It should be similar to this

I don't think just having 4 simple pipes sticking out the back of the RX will improve its looks. In fact, it will detract from the overall look based on the photo above. It might make some sense on the new F-Sport model to balance the aggressive front-end. Modifications like this tend to make sense to the owner and maybe not everyone else ... so if you like it, I don't see any reason (outside of the cost) not to do it to your car.

I think BMW has dual exhaust on the X5 (V8?). You should find one and study it. It might help with your decision.

I like the way it looks, it adds some personality to the RX but that price is too high imo. Since it's for looks just have a local shop/fabricator make you an axle back system thats similar.

I agree! Try to see if a local shop can make you one. It shouldn't be too hard and im sure you'll save a ton of money. Keep us informed.

So it appears to have double wall exhaust tips that have purposeful bluing of the pipes and you have to pay for that? Odd in my opinion.
