That's why I'm tryna take the "replace EVERYTHING" approach.... ... Expenisve.. YES!!!!! But I'll have a piece of mind once everything is installed. I'm sure with everything I bought, there won't be room for error. I got all the gaskets for the whole exhaust from before the cats all the way to the where the end is. New screws+bolts for a cleaner less rusty job. All 4 o2 sensors on the way and both cats. That's about everything that code can say. If it comes up after that I'll blow up!!!!!! I JUST PRAY THIS WILL DO THE JOB my bro. I'll let you know how it turned out after installation is done.

Lol I'd rather not.... but I paid little under $2k for the cats off sewellparts.... then bought all the gaskets and screws pertaining to the exhaust... that was prolly around or under $100. That's it. Oh and now I'm buying the last 2 o2 sensors to be complete (upstream)... got the downstreams for under $130 off eBay.. Denso... now this Friday morning I'm ordering the last 2 under $150.. Denso as well.. all in all I prolly spent under $2300. Give or take. I'm happy tho bro. I know my car will appreciate it and I'll have great piece of mind for a long time to go. Can't wait to get it all installed sometime next week.

Not sure what the sc400s stock 0-60 was.. I know the GS400 was supposedly the fastest four door sedan at the time until I think the bmw m3 beat it later the same year, by today's standards it's not THAT fast, I think 5.3 0-60? I did drive the new gs350 for a day and I believe it has a 5.5 60 time and it felt pretty fast, but compared to bmw/mercedes not that fast, I'm really looking forward to the RC-F that's premiering this week, supposed to be the most powerful v8 lexus has ever built, have heard they're testing a GS-F (not f sport) to come out in 2015 probably will have the same v8 as the RCF, supposed to have over 500 HP
