Definitely try replacing O2 sensors first, try looking at
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/mai...ode-p0141.html
so you know which sensor is which I replaced my headers and down pipe last week and had a few codes pop up, get an O2 sim if the sensor 2s are bad if its 1 get universal sensors at your local autozone or any shop of that sort and solder on the connector, also replace them yourself get a 22mm wrench with a 12 point end and stick the connector through the 12 point end and it'll make life easier and less expensive than buying an O2 socket, Cali does have horrible emissions standards but I'd replace the headers than the cats IMO also disconnect battery to reset the ecu every time you try something it does help

I just checked the MSRP. It's about the same as what you pay for an OEM unit from Carson Toyota.

Bad news..i swapped o2 from bank 1 to bank 2 and the code came back on but still for bank 1. O2 sensors are good, looks like its a bad cat for me.

Damn that makes me wonder if the o2s are the problem on mine. I hoppppe not. sorry to hear that. Still worth changing the o2s to see if it works before the cat

I'd check for exhaust leak before throwing money away for a new expensive cat. Get some copper silicone and paste some around the cat's flange. It's worth a try. You'll end up wanting some anyways if you decide to replace the cat yourself.
