Sorry. I needed to basically redo the entire exhaust so I parked the car for a minute. I also have a rx300 I've been driving. I'm hoping to get something going here in the next few weeks. I know it can't be any loader or sound worse than having a giant hole in my front y-pipe. I work 60+ hours a week so bare with me. Also working on picking up a GX470, I've wanted one for awhile. Just be patient, extremely patient and I will get something going here. I have 194k on this car so spending a few grand on an exhaust seems excessive, as it is I'm going to be around $1500 range on this job. If it sounds "bad" then mufflers will have to be changed out.

I need to get both Cat's. I basically think I need to get them from Lexus so I don't get a CEL, has anyone tried Magnaflow universals or any other ideas? The 1st y-pipe has a hole in it and I also have only found it with Lexus. Any other ideas? I want the best bang for the buck however I want it to work like it is supposed to, no CEL. Any input would be appreciated otherwise I'm forced to buy OE, if I can get better flow Cat's to increase performance that would be great. Let me know if anyone has some experience and input!!

Default Yeah its great and sounds great

So it was inexpensive but not a cheap brand. I had to take a long time because I was trying to find an aftermarket front 'Y" pipe but had to purchase through Lexus, could not find aftermarket stainless. Also I decided to replace the Cats as well so that was expensive and annoying. The exhaust was SURE WIN products you can go on youtube and hear it on different vehicles. It's not super loud and sounds great. So for the little $ I spent at the time since I was tracking a stainless exhaust for some time on ebay and this was selling for double or more. So I took advantage and anyone who say the post when it was selling inexpensively I did my research ahead of time. I have also converted to Black LED taillights and side markers. I have a Weapon R intake, changed the fog lights to have the LED bar and smoked out. Looks great sounds great and glad I pulled the trigger when I did. Thanks to all/
