. Lexus OEM not sure, but the cat for my previous Accord was OEM and it was $340 just part, so the LS will probably be a pretty penny for sure...

Bad cat is very rare. Usually the O2 (AFR) sensor that goes first and will trigger P113X or P115X error code. Also, during winter, when the cat or O2 (AFR) sensor does not properly warm up, you could see this malfunction code. Make sure the dealer did not take you for a ride on this. Always ask for the error code. Or just spend $50 on one of the OBDII reader and you could read and reset the error code yourself.

And if they replace the cat, ask to keep the old part that they remove and a box of the new part they just install.
