I am looking for a n/s back box for my 04 LS430 can anyone sugest a supplier. I live on the east coast of Scotland so as local as possible or free delivery would be great. Thanks in advance.

hi

have a read here:

another member on here was also after the back boxes recently and I think he went to lexus because he didn't want to make the exhaust tone louder

Lexus in their "pursuit of perfection" fitted stainless steel exhaust systems to the LS400 and mine after 20 years is still in excellent condition.

When the LS430 arrived it would appear it became in "pursuit of economy" so they took a retrograde step using mild steel and after just 10 years they are rotting off.

Personally I would go for custom made stainless replacements, not only can they be made as quiet as the originals but last considerably longer and be nowhere near Lexus prices for mild steel.

A few of my mates recommend Turriff tyres and exhausts for custom systems. They seem to get good reviews.

For some reason I couldn't attach a link, so just google them.

Sounds a lot for just the rear boxes there are companies doung a full catback system for less than £400.00 if you travel.

It is expensive but it is convenient, don't have the time to travel. They quoted £1180 for the complete stainless steel system. Can't afford that right now. Front end is ok. My car guy in Carnoustie uses them all the time, they do a great job so he says. Anyway, back to silent running tomorrow.

my car is the same year and just wanted to prepare myself just incase I have to replace mine

that advert says 87 different designs to choose from? what does that mean - different types of rear boxes? or tips?

Keep in mind, you have to travel to Leeds and back. Kwik fit told me thre are 3 types of rear end for that make and year. I don't beleive it, They wouldnt give me a price unless I brought it up. (To make sure they quoted for the right system) supposidly???? More like they can tell you all the other stuff you have to get for your motor.
