Out of Japan. I saw something like this on a Japanese site a few weeks back (doubt I could find it again) for the Harrier. Any quality exhaust shop could probably put one of these things together. I nearly considered it for my RX300 back in 2005, but then decided on the y-pipe with the two pipes leading to one side, to lower weight and improve performance (since it should be a shorter, more direct pipe going to one side).

i have a friend who has an mdx and has almost no problems. and what do you base the fact that the mdx is not selling well? lexus customer service isnt great either. they still dont care enough to finally fix the tranny issue that plagues almost all RX330's and a lot of the RX350's. the gx is still more then the mdx. maybe you had bad hondas or acuras, but a whole lot of people i know have and still own hondas and acuras and have nothing but good things to say about it. My gf has a 2005 accord ex v6, with the same amount of miles as my POS rx330 and has one stock speaker replaced and nothing else in the accord and i've had 3 big things fixed in my rx330. Her car also has had no recalls, i guess just bad honda quality right?
I'm not saying Lexus makes the best cars, but like someone said, it's best for the money for most people. I do agree with you on one thing though: Lexus customer service is not great AT ALL, at least the one I have been to.

I almost went for the MDX
I posted this before, but here it is again in case you wonder what others say about the RX and MDX and other SUVs: JD Power 2007 Quality Rating
, when I bought mine I looked at all the mid size SUV's on the market and almost went with the MDX, I am glad I went with the RX based on the ratings. Also, I believe that the RX has the best retained value in the long run.
Another thing, I felt like the service aspect was not as good at the Acura dealership here in Houston. Now here is the strange part, they are both owned by the same company and located right across the freeway from each other but when you go into the Lexus waiting area it is very nice, the Acura, not so nice which leads me to believe that Lexus sets higher standard for the dealerships than Acura. This might not be true but it appears that way to me.
The RX is a nice vehicle, but I personally don't want to drive it unless we go together.
