I know this is an older thread, but maybe someone can answer my question.

I'm getting the p0430 with my invidia and confirmed the leak at the heat flange with the soapy water and air test.

At this point, would flipping the used mid pipe and header gaskets work? Or would I need new ones?

alternatively, if I was to place some exhaust sealant over the gasket would that do the trick? Something like this:
Permatex 80335 Muffler and Tailpipe Sealer, 3 oz. https://a.co/d/cdwxB2M

Just order new gaskets and replace them.

I ordered all the new gaskets now and the copper RTV. I can't thank you enough for putting this thread together. Been battling this CEL for months now!

Updated to add a consolidated parts section. Included Lexus part numbers for hardware (bolts and lock nuts).
