Default Is the catback exhaust the same for 300s and 430s?

I have a 2004 gs430 and need to track down a factory catback system.

Are they the same for 300 and 430?

What is different if anything?

Thank you

I think the GS430 is different to the GS300. Why?? Because GS300 is 6 cylinder and GS430 is 8 cylider and the catback pipe configuration is different. On Ebay show that is the same, but I'm not 100% sure about ebay item.

They're the same from the last cat [on each respective car] to the mufflers... so, yes, the catback exhausts are the same.

NorthStyle,
Thanks for correct me. I was looking a web that show different catback and that was my doubt. Like this webside; http://sohiperformance.com/lexus-gs4...FU6QHwodYOQCmA

Thanks again.

Thanks for the help guys I appreciate it.
This might make it a bit easier for me to track down a stock exhaust.

Aye! Some may get confused as they may think you're referring to the upstream cats, but as far as the downstream (center) cat goes, it's all the same behind that!
