One of my back boxes has corroded off the pipe and is currently in a plastic bag in the garage.
I've been quoted £750 fitted to replace the back section of the exhaust (from the cat back) by my dealership, and none of the usual exhaust/tyre places can get an aftermarket equivalent part at all, so they'd be buying the Lexus part for £660 and fitting it.
I'm not convinced it could be successfully welded, and if the one box has gone, odds are the other is on its last legs too although no perforations yet.
Quick search on eBay reveals many US manufacturers claiming to produce the part in stainless for maybe £350 including shipping. I quite fancy saving £300, but has anyone got any experience of this? I don't fancy a two week wait then being left with an expensive pile of stainless steel that won't fit from a company on the other side of the world.
Any advice?

Thanks for the advice all. I think its going to be the Lexus part as I'd rather pod out that have the hassle/risk. Know any who wants to buy a kidney, one careful owner?
