Have a 2000 Gs400, Sounds like a Monster truck, Was told need a new Y-pipe and gaskets, whats the best place to get a y-pipe OEM from dealer?

Honestly, I would just go aftermarket. By the time you buy an OEM one, you'll be spending as much as an aftermarket.

If you're set on OEM, here you go:

Looks to be $525

check a muffler shop. where i live, quotes are like $100 to maybe $150 the most to redo whole piping...

Keep in mind that is a GS300 i beleive so the sound will be different.. There's still resonators on the new y-pipe but there smaller instead of our stock huge ones... I hope to hear a noticeable difference.. Should be getting them installed tomorrow..

If your not looking to sell in the near future go after market. Got my Y-pipe installed today and and it sounds pretty good. Not loud but a nice noticeable difference than stock. I still have resonators only smaller. It sounds more like a refined V8 now. No drone at cruising speeds only in the 30 to 50 range.
