nope, the exhaust shop was literally right behind me while i was taking the picture.

trust me though the car is filthy. i guess that's the beauty of a silver car.

here's a picture of the exhaust half complete. i got too lazy to take pictures after that. a little underexposed but you'll get the idea. 3" stainless w/ a magnaflow muffler. not bad for $200....

the whole setup weighs less than 10lbs as well. thats a huge difference from the stock axleback which is damn near 50lbs.

Looks good, I think it needs a drop though - I like the exhaust idea.

yeah, i wish i could but if i want to stay in stock class for auto-x (and i do) i can't change the stock ride height. the only thing i can do with the suspension is change the shocks and front sway bar. plus i've had enough of getting beaten to death by stiff suspension. i like the stock ride quality.

you can thank Jason Isley for the exhaust idea. i sure do.

I have a magnaflow on my car.
Great sound.

It is tough to find an exhaust for the RX that doesn't sound like a weed wacker.
