In my experience.......I battled Lexus Canada hard for the replacement of mine (under ECP or Extra Care Protection warranty - 8 years/ 200 K (Kilometers). They absolutely would not cover it.

It all falls to the definition, as it was considered a cosmetic piece, and not really covered under the exhaust/ emissions. I escalated this deep inside Lexus, so far as they put me onto their specialist, that is trained to shut down hard nosed customers

At the end of the day, they would not cover it and blamed the welds that failed on wear and tear from road debris, exhaust gas acidity blah, blah , blah.

I would imagine, under the parameters of the regular comprehensive warranty, and good dealer relations, this would normally be covered.

At this time I removed them and purchased the ISS forged exhaust...sorry Joe, its all because of Lexus Canada..I'm not running your system!

Those tips look good. My straight pipe setup is kind of crooked so I'm not sure I'd be able to do this.

I got them from summit racing, they are maganflows 2.50" inlet/ 3.5" outlet 4 " long , no change in sound what so ever , the tips look like they touch each other but they don't! is a factory axleback w the sec cats removed and ppe headers , it sounds great and no drone what so eve... glad you guys like it . theres another alternative for the stock axle back! im pretty sure that it can be done with the muffler delete or other axle back ,it just will involve more welding , and probably parts

Is there a way you could do a diy? also, can you attach these to the bumper?
