Hello
My lexus gs450h exhaust got too rusted and broke of.. Not sure how to upload picture so will try to explain. It snapped in mid exhaust section just past that silencer looking thing- before last joint with back exhaust section, where bolts have springs in them.. Found a guy who will try to weld it for me but I need to take it of. Had a quick look under the car last night and found bolts rusted and seized to death so possibly will have to cut/ drill them. Also there is a sensor on each side which goes inside and plugs in near centre console. Last thing I want is to unscrew these sensors from exhaust just in case they will snap.. does anybody know if that sensor plug from inside will fit through the hole to pull it out so I can leave sensors on exhaust?
Also where you guys getting replicas made, if that welding fix not gonna hold me for too long? Checked used one online sitting at £600.. and when you getting replica made, do they just weld stainless pipes on your cat converters or they supply everything like cat, o2 sensors etc?
Thank you

Hi again
So I got it of and its welded. For putting it back do you reuse same gaskets at both sides of the middle section? 1 metal woolen at flange side and 2x near cats. Cant find where to get new ones. If reusing same, would you apply some engine gasket sealant or something?
Or maybe someone knows sizes of gaskets so I could look for some universal or aftermarket?
I believe flange diameter inside 2.4inch- outside 2.99inch. Cant find these 2 flat sizes
Cheers
