I'm in a bit of a predicament and just looking for some insight...

2012 IS350 with Invidia Mid-Pipe Cat delete - Shop I went to said they would hold OEM part, but when I went back to get it, they had gotten rid of it (I should of never left it obviously)

I passed smog visual once 2 years ago but did not go well, guy was pissed and threw a fit, yelling, making phone calls, but thankfully passed me. I am due for smog now and really am tired of the anxiety knowing I'll have to go through that again, etc. I doubt he will pass me a 2nd time. Seriously considering purchasing OEM mid-pipe for about $1200 from Lexus Dealership....

Dose anyone know a different solution if I really don't want to keep dealing with this every 2 years? I am not ***** deep into the forums, so I am unsure of where I could find a used OEM mid-pipe besides clublexus.com which I am having no success locating a used one. Do I have any other options here!? Any insight is greatly appreciated...Live in the OC

 

Try copart.com to see if local junkyard’s may have one. Or try sourcing a catback that still retains the catalytic converter’s, such as the Megan Racing.
