Hello!
2 weeks ago comes the parts from USA to me home for my RX
Today, i changed the lamda sensor and the gaskets from the rear cylinders.
sorry, i can not write all text to all pictures with my bad english. To open the lower nuts from the header, you must open 1 screw of the power steering rack. to have a straigt way to the nuts. The gasket by the header was little bit leaky (you see on the pictures) the lamda sensor was very tight, but with spray and the big offset ring wrench was its easy to remove. but the thread was not the best and i tap new.
after them, we bridged the middle silencer, but the sound is louder, but not better. the 2 muffler absorb the good sound, you can hear in the video.
After changing the lamda, the engine runs smoother, no smell like gas and no lights!
i test today again with my girlfriend ( ever with her comes the failure) and hope the failure is away for ever 
here the pics:
pre-converter is good after 179tkm
leaky gasket
lamda sensor from inside
dismount lamda sensor
next step is modify the rear mufflers

Hello!
A little update from my RX.
The Engine runs perfekt after changing the O2-Sensor. He need approx 12L petrol. before 14L and not good performance.
Next step is to biuld a new middle section with a 200 cells metal converter and a 2,5" small resonator for more sound with legal values
2,5" flange
200 cells metall converter 130mm
resonator
and a flex pipe to no resonance in the car
here pictures to have a size-idea of the converter, the converter is for 6L / 650PS left a IS300 converter
metall converter
original IS300 converter (Ceramic)
this week comes the resonator and i will beginn in 2-3 weeks with the section. my girlfriend becomes in the next 2 weeks our daughter, this is more important.
i installed a seperate in domelight for the front seats and modify the reading lamp
original
new

Hy!
Yesterday, i installed with my friend Sigi my new middle section! no roar in the inside of the car, the engine runs smoother, little bit more sound from the delta exhaust system, better gas-pedal response, the engine runs more relaxed, the rpm´s go faster up and on the street is the driving funny, its more agile
Group-Picture of all parts:
DIY O2-Sensor Flange
My friend Sigi by the work
the new middle section!
Boergy @ work
a little bit is do to correct to fit perfect on the car, this is next week to do. 3 hours we need to construct and install the middle section
here 2 vids from today, but we have a small hole in the connection to the delta

Hy JiBBeL!
Yes, after changing the O2 Sensor, the problems never come back! The engine runs better and need less gas (11-13L of 100km) The problem was, the O2-Sensor says the ECU, its to little gas, and the ECU gives more and more..... end the end was too much gas for the engine. i´m happy to find this failure and have no problems more
Tonight, i make a video on the outside of the car by driving
one mod more with LED
I changed the license plate lamps to led lamps from ebay (1 Dollar a pair)
Original light with GP-Thunder lamps:
LED vs. Original
only LED´s
and the rear of the car:

Hy!
Today, i maked the video, but the sound comes not good.
I will sell the Delta Duplex exhaust and the new middle Section without the original pipe and built a complete new system with headers

HY!
This week, i install the original converter with a flexpipe and a IS300 middle resonator. the delta Duplex exhaust will modify
The Streetpower woofer is sold, the Pioneer amp loves not the woofer, he switched off on high volume.
I bought a used Pioneer Subwoofer with 400W nominal, 800W peak. i constructed a good box for the RX (38,5L netto). The Sound is great! much more volume and more level
painted hole
make the carpet on the box
connector for the cable
