I received back my 2017 rx350 (fwd) from the dealer with the exhaust center pipe assembly fix applied. I was also there for the ICS recall, 15K service and an ongoing janky transmission shifting complaint. (I've had complaints about the transmission hunting/shifting and the drone since day one, however it had had recently become much more noticeable to me and all occupants in the car). I can see the updated center pipe, but don't know if they ever previously scanned/connected to the ecu to see if the transmission flash was done (per the VIN it was always relayed to me as such).
Complete night and day difference. I couldnt be more (surprised) pleased to have this fixed and now have the RX that shifts/sounds like our old 2002, 2007, 2011 & 2015 used to do.
worth a mention i hope and if you need a scan of my *invoice* I can post up the part #s!

I called and spoke to my service writer. Only had this 2016 for a month. Asked about replacing the pipe. He said bring it in Monday and he will replace it. Love my dealership

Hi All, I just got my new RX350 this week. This is the first V6 vehicle for me. I found some sound when the engine at 1500 RPM. The sound is louder than 2000 RPM and the sound at 1500 RPM has many base. If it passes 1500 the sound is better. Is that normal? Or I need to check with dealership?

I checked this thread (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...vibration.html).
It looks like a drone noise only at 1500 RPM. Do you know if it is normal?

Eric, the droning noise you hear happens with quite a few RX350 vehicles, but there is a fix that might help you.
Return it to the dealer and ask them to install the center exhaust pipe TSB to reduce the droning noise.
Good luck.
