Mk1 Ls400 Has Anyone Replaced The Emmisions Return

[chips229]

Hi all,ive only had my mk1 LS400 for little over a month now,so im still finding my way around the car.I was warned before buying a mk1 400 that the return emmisions pipe at the back of the engines are prone to cracking as theres a rubber section in the pipe.Mine does need replacing,the car was in very good condition other than the pipe,it must be cracked,from under the bonnet(hood :) ) it sounds as though the exhaust is blowing.Here in the uk Lexus want around £100 for the pipe and 5 hours to fit it at £89 per hour!! :( .....so can i source the pipe for cheap and has anyone changed the pipe there selfs.Its meant to be a tricky job because theres not alot of room between the engine and the bulkhead.Ive tryed to use the search option on the site incase its been posted before,but i get a error up when trying.

Other than that im very pleased with the car.

Sorry guys think ive found the topic on this site after fishing around abit :)

I removed the broken piece from the exhaust pipe end and bend it over to seal it and re-installed it, months ago.
