Need to change catalytic converter for LS400,1996
I have P420, P430 codes on my LS400, 1996, check engine light is on . Do I have to change both catalytic converters which would cost more than $1000? Could I just change O2 sensors or the converter gaskets and how do I verfiy that before I purchase these parts

Simon, I have a 95, had to replace cat about 2 years ago. It was done by a very trusted mechanic and he used A&B cat. I have not had any issues. But true first make sure that the other parts are not causing the code to go off. I had replaced first the oxygen sensor to no avail. I mostly due my own work but was in a hurry so had him due the cat. Hopefully this helps.

Got any part numbers off hand for the Cat gaskets?
I have these same codes.
I you don't have them I guess I can put in a little more effort and call the Lexus dealer haha
