You are looking for the B-pipe if you have a GS300. I think the GS400/430 have an X-pipe

okay..so..ive never seen what a stock exhaust is supposed to look like..but it seems there are 3 parts to it? from the header to the y-pipe..from the y-pipe to the axle backs..and then the axlebacks right? the pipe i need i guess is the one from the header to the Y-pipe..

header>A-PIPE?>Y-PIPE>splits into two axlebacks...is this correct??? also..if anyone has a picture of the underside of the car..so i can point it out better..that would help too

check out the junkyards in Chula Vista. They post up on craigslist for parts all the time. Just give them a call so you can get your parts and put your exhaust on.

Read post above. It would help if you stated which model GS you have. The 300 has a b-pipe because there is only 1 exhaust manifold. 400/430's have 2 exhaust manifolds and have a different pipe.

What you could also do is just cut the weld where they come together. Seems weird that they are all welded together....

So is this the piece your looking for and are both ends of this welded? You stated your whole exhaust is welded except to where you axle backs are. You may be better off going to a muffler shop and having the rear of this pipe cut and weld new flanges on.

thats exactly the piece i need..the header side isnt welded tho..only the cat side..the last owner actually removed teh cat..so its like a straight pipe..i might just have to take it to a muffler shop to fix..i just wanted to keep the whole car as "stock" as possible
