Is300 Back Box Problem

[Philmandoo]

HI Folks

I've noticed my Sportcross becoming ever so slightly louder this last month and today it got loud - had a look underneath and the back box flange had separated from the pipe where it connects to the middle section. Phoning the usual suspects for a replacement turned up dry (I've not tried Lexus yet) apart from an IS300 backbox on eBay. My question is this - will the IS300 backbox fit the IS300 sportcross or is it a different part? And if so any suggestions where I can try for a replacement?

Thanks in advance,

Phil

I would imagine its the same part and size for both and the is200 correct me someone if im wrong. If you want something a bit different try an hks silent hi power backbox.

However, after looking elsewhere it appears the sportcross bumper may be bigger than the saloon so a longer pipe would be needed.

Couldn't find a backbox anywhere (short of remortgaging with Lexus ;) ) Got it welded up by Trickett Welding in Poole, great guy who knew what he was doing.

All quiet again and happy

Cheers
