Need exhaust mid-pipe on my 96
Besides Sewell, where can I get a mid-pipe? It has to be factory Lexus. Aftermarket does not use mandrel bending for this part. I'm trying to find a used one but no luck. The number in the pic is 17410:
Thanks, James

What happpened? Is the stock part damaged? Corroded? Was it replaced with aftermarket X or Y and you want to return to stock?
The stock Y works very well and it is a good plan to use the factory part. Depending on your above answers you could find a Y from any Lexus V8 engine and have a compentent shop weld it in creating a functioning part. If you do not have any of the stock Y (no flanges or resonator or rear center pipe) a compentent shop can still use a stock pipe as I describe above.

Sounds like you still can salvage the flanges. I would post on in the classifieds to buy someones removed Y pipe after they did a custom dual system. The stock Y is going to be VERY similar between models and you can install it with your flanges and some minor pipe work in 2" size (stock is 1.97") Read through the SC and GS sections and if you see someone planning a custom exhaust PM them for the removed Y.
The stock pipe is very important for making good low speed torque as it scavenges very nicely. The internal shape of the Y is formed and very hard to duplicate. It is also low grade stainless.
