Just joined this great forum and am proud owner of a 97 LX450-very few here in Canada
Problem is it is sounding very throaty-not proper for a LEXUS-and the split is right at the Crotch of the Y-pipe off the manifold-fully visible from the front right wheel well.
Dealer up here wants $1300 for the part alone-and I just can't justify(or afford) that. Seems that we get terribly hosed for parts up here
Has anyone had this problem-any solutions???-welding is a short term option I suppose
Someone told me that there was some secret warranty on this-any one heard of this
Would appreciate any help
