Is there supposed to be some sort of gasket in that joint? It seems, I'm getting some squeaking/rattling at that point. If so, anyone have a part number? If, not, I guess I can go to Lexus and check with them.
Looks like you are getting some "blowby" judging by the black around the bottom side of that joint. Should be a beveled donut gasket there and tightened up!!!
Is it rattling over bumps or at idle, and how long after your exhaust mod did this happen? I just got my exhaust done and don't hear anything, but I want to nip it in the bud and make sure I have that donut gasket in there.
Just found out its about a $60 gasket. Picking it up from Lexus tomorrow. I think this was the nemesis of the rattling during a cold start and going over bumps. If not, I'm going to have another metal brace welded at the straight pipes that replaced the mufflers.

Lexus of Tulsa quoted me $67, but I told them Sewell always has the best prices and I was going to check with them. He said he'd match Sewell who was at $58. Best I could find.
CL member price at Sewell is $42.66. I used to have a place a little closer and a little cheaper, but Sewell is beating everyone these days for OEM parts prices.
