I went ahead and purchased the magnaflow one and will post pics on it and deinstall and reinstall of the parts I was able to get it for 275 shipped

I went to lexus and bought new gaskets and bolts it came up to $25 which is not to bad considering I got it from lexus.

ok guys had my new flex pipe installed yesterday. The only problem I have is that I hear a rattling sound coming from the exhaust when I reach higher RPMs, I wonder if the heatshield is loose or if the catalytic convertor heat shield is loose on the cat. Dont know exactly so im taking it back to the shop on friday so they can look at it. Let me know if you guys have an ideas so I can tell the shop to look at.
