HELP! I got a crack in my "Y" pipe!

OK...I think I understand but still kind of confused on a couple of items
. I just got off the phone with Luis @ Carson Toyota/Lexus and he indicated that NO cat-back exhaust system for the GS4XX is truly from the cats back. It's more like from the mid-pipe back because it will not replace the stock Y-pipe section coming off of the two cats up front.
So this notion leaves me with three options...
1. Buy a new Y-pipe from Carson Toyota/Lexus for $330.
2. Buy a used Y-pipe from a CL member.
3. Go completely custom like you did.
What should I do? Where did you install the o2 sensors and how? Did you stay with the same 2.25" diameter piping? Where is your resonator? Could you PM me where you got your X-pipe from and other piping? I would keep my Borlas with this scenario (instead of buying the Magnaflows).
How does it feel BTW? Launching...Highway pulls etc. etc. Please PM me if you don't want to discuss on this thread. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Sorry for the in detailed wording .. at work
I had the body shop delete my resignators .. and the o2 sensors weren't touched , same location from what remember ? or have them add it.. in the same location
We hacked off all the piping from the cat converter back .. and the shop actually made a custom X-pipe . took them 30 mins and it was Nice ! vs buying one from online and waiting .. .and 2.25 inch piping with mandreral bends to the exhaust .
It was all fabricated in front on me .. literally front the top of cat all the way back .
I only repeat only have that done to the motor was the exhaust ..
.. look up one of my movies on youtube ... "pxrlex" in the search portion ...
and I think it has me reving my motor ..
you can use your borlas like I used my magnaflows .. and you wont have any problems ..
Cheers and good luck .. Cant hurt to upgrade right ? btw the X-pipe sounds nice ..
Ohh sorry didn't read the bottom portion ..
When I got the exhaust put on .. It sounds great .. It has over all enhanced performance .. but I can not give you a number unless you buy me dyno time hehe
My mid to top RMP has alot more pull alot.... vs stock going through gears ..
lower rpm no gain I believe
