Default Quiet aftermarket exhausts

Is there such a thing for these cars? I would like to upgrade the looks out back as my tips are not in great shape and I would like dual tips like the on in the pic below. Does anyone know which exhaust this is?

If you look on the L-Tuned website (carson lexus) you'll find some exhaust that they offer. I believe the one in the picture is from Balsarini.

L-Tuned offers a TRD exhaust that looks to be quiet and is reasonably priced.

you could always keep the stock muffler (which is super quiet) and just put on new tips

any decent muffler shop can do this

I have flowmaster on my car and it isn't too loud. I was going to get dual tips but, the rear of the Rx has room for a single tip. You would have to get a aftermarket rear lip, or have your dual tips sticking way out on the car. To me it wasn't worth the hassle.


That Rx in that picture also has a full body kit, which is specifically made for a dual exhaust.

You can go to any muffler shop and have them add on a new exhaust tip for around $35 to $60 dollars depending on what you choose.

Unless you have to have an aftermarket exhaust or you don't like the OEM sound for some reason, I agree with the members that suggested tips. It seems like you were only objecting to the condition of your tips. Tips would be the lowest cost, the look you want, and OEM sound.

Good luck.

Don't get a tip, my interior designer friend's advice since it draws eyes away from you car to the car's waste discharge unit.

You can also look at Garson USA and get the luxury tips. Some are quite gaudy but some are very nice if your going to style the car.
