Looking For A Y Pipe

Bluesman · March 27, 2014

Looking for a Y pipe to fit my beloved 98 LS 400. Mike

if you want to keep your car original and quite then the only option is buy the part from the dealer and have it fitted locally.

There maybe other options such as exhaust outfits cutting/welding something but I cannot recommend anybody

I will try and upload a photo of my y-piece after it was welded

If it is done right get it welded but if not then someone will quite easily make a pigs ear of it.

Whoever repairs it for you get them to do it in situ because if you try and undo the bolts and lambdas you run the risk of it all snapping and then you willl need new gaskets and the chances are it will probably blow there then when it is put back together

Stainless Steel welder going to have a look at the crack on Weds. If the pipe has to come off are there any gaskets I need to replace?

Mike, a few of us have used Grove Garage in Hove as they specialise in Lexus, and make their own systems, I had mine welded there. If you don't find anyone it may be worth giving them a call to get a price (they are very reasonable) That way you can come over here and we can have that coffee we never got around to!

Hello Phil.

I am booked in to a place down Borden way on Weds to let him assess the problem he says he knows the problem having fixed several.

If not I will come down to Hove, we really must meet up for that coffee. Let me see what happens on Weds. I know its difficult for you to be away from home for long so I will come down to you.

Regards Mike

Thanks to Phil "The Acre" I poodled down in the sunshine to Brighton/Hove, to Grove Motors, a place you have to see to believe, was met by Phil in his lovely LS 400, left mine behind for the ex Lexus engineer to work his magic while Phil and I went off to find a coffee house the long way round of course, but who cares when your in such a beautiful comfortable car, good chat on all things Lexus and an hour later we were back at Grove Garage Tele 01273 773055 car was all done 4" section cut out and a new section welded in and we are back to near silent motoring. The price £45. No one can grumble at that.

Once again the power of The LOC strikes again. Cheers Phil "The Acre".

Glad to have been of assistance, and meet another member.

Actually, it was Andrew "Scribe" who put me on to Grove Garage, so thanks to you too my man!

And Mike, on reflection, I think you're wrong about Bob Dylan!!!

It wouldn't do for all of us to like the same thing. He wrote some amazing songs I just never liked his singing. Mike
