Low Tire pressure warning

Before I make my bomb, I will try 2 things:
1. How about wrapping the TPMS in rubber to simulate the 32 psi pressure.
2. Use plastic clamps on the TPMS.
Anyway I need to get the TPMS off my set of tires so I can finally play with it.
It is all about simulation of the 32 pounds per square inch of surface pressure on the TPMS. The pipe bomb is a good option but takes space. If the options above do not work, the pipe bomb it is.

An earlier post noted that there was no TPMS in the '06 RX400h. That's entirely possible, although there might be a system there that doesn't use in-tire sensors. It's my understanding that early model '06 RX330s used a vehicle height sensing system for the TPMS instead of in-tire sensors. In my RX, the pressure has to drop to somewhere around 10 PSI before the sensor picks up the height difference. With those low profile tires, it takes that much to even notice the ride height is off. I have 3 leaking rims (chrome) and am in the process of trying to buy some OEM painted rims to eliminate the problem. I'll definitely know for sure that there's no sensor in the tire when I get new ones (although I am 99% sure anyway). Definitely a PITA.
