Hello all,

I'll have to replace the Y-piece of the exhaust fairly soon. Original part no is 17410-50340.
Over here (Netherlands) aftermarket, and even used pieces are difficult to find.
Other option would be to have one made locally, but prices quoted so far are not encouraging.
New from Lexus is too expensive.

I found 2 on ebay from US sellers that seem willing to ship to Europe

Benchmark BEN4620
AP Exhaust 642841

Does anyone here have experience with either of these?

Thanks in advance
Cheers,

Johan

I would expect a local stainless steel exhaust specialist to be the most cost effective option if it's just the Y piece that needs to be replaced.
A full custom cat back exhaust in the UK would be approx the equivalent of 900 euros or less.

Thanks, I'll do a round of the usual suspects within the next couple of weeks.
But I would prefer to bolt on a ready made piece myself.

Have you tried amazon? In America they sell EVERYTHING!

JohanH

Thanks, but unfortunately that's not the piece I am looking for and the Amazon sellers I did ask about shipping to Europe have not yet replied

DshngDaryl

Ah. I googled the part numbers you shared and see you are looking for the second cat plus the y pipe

If it helps you at all, the catalytic convertor in the Y piece is not necessary for the car to function properly. The O2 sensors are all in front of it, so there is no way your car's computer can adjust.

If you can't find a bolt on Y piece, you could have one made locally without the convertor and YOUR CAR wouldn't care.

I'm afraid our local MOT guy might care ....

I don't know about the wider EU but no MOT issues with removing the 3rd cat in the UK. Lots of owners have done it with aftermarket exhausts.

I'll check with the exhaust guys over here.
