Talking My RX330 pics with new exhaust

Just fitted a polished s/s cat-back exhaust with dual pipes out the back of my new toy. Cost was $A2200.00 and has added both visual appeal (my opinion) and has the sweetest note. Not intrusive in the cabin, just a nice low purr. Had the car lowered by 45mm at the front and 40mm at the rear in readiness next week for a new set of BonSpeed 19" chrome CLUTCH rims fitted with corresponding sized Michelin Tyres. Should look sweeeeeet!! More (better) pics next week

Whole thing was custom made in Oz by TaipanXP exhausts, They export WRX stuff to the States all the time, so getting this to you would be no problem. Complete install cost $A2,200.00 and with the exchange rate differential, it would be around $US1,500.00.
Contact details:- julia@taipanxp.com.au

Hope this helps

Sorry StyleZ, I don't believe there is any appreciable HP increase. The car looks tough and sounds sweet which is what I was trying to achieve.

LEX S, it looks great from underneath. Quite a nice setup you have there - Do you have a picture facing the rear with the vehicle on the ground?

Juicen, that's a GREAT look!

Is your lift using the side body seams? Looks like it in one pick. Is there rubber on the lift arm tip, doesn't it damage your seams anyway, mine are getting banged by the dealers?

That is looking damn sweet! I wanted to do this for the RX300 for the longest time. Just haven't had enough time to go search for a good place that does custom exhausts.
