Walker 53421 Exhaust Pipe for Toyota Highlander

Perfect fit, buy new bolts and nuts, will most likely have to cut off the old ones because of the rust build up

When our flexpipe failed we found that replacing just the flex joint was impractical; it was too close to a bend for clamping, and the pipe wasn't taking a weld properly. For just a little over $50 we replaced the whole pipe segment. Price for value it works well, and should last the 5 years or so I expect the vehicle to last.

2002 Lexus rx300. Just had to pick up bolts and nuts, 3/8 coarse and gaskets.

Having compared three mid pipes from three different manufacturers, the Walker product is substantially higher quality. Made here in the USA and the cheapest option, too!!

This is an exact fit for 99 lexus rx300 FWD. Quality seems good, but some parts of the wielding doesn't look that solid. Only time will tell, anyways. The other issue is that it did not come with mounting bolts and nuts. It's very likely that the time you need to replace this part, the old ones would be very rusted. My car's were extremely rusted I had to cut them off. It would be extremely helpful to have those included. It would save a lot of time looking for what actually fits. I'm taking one star specifically for this fact. I had to buy those from Lowes along with the necessary washers (4 bolts, 4 nuts, and 8 washers in total; two washers for each bolt and nut).The only other things you would need are the gaskets. I used 31374 and 31332 flange gaskets from Walker. They fit perfectly.I also used Permatex high heat gasket sealer\maker which is optional. You don't need much of this, just a thin application around to hold the gaskets and provide and extra sealant. There might be different opinions regarding this, so do your own research and decide for yourself.Hope this helps someone.

The stainless steel mesh on flex section fall off completely within 2 years. The bigger problem is Walker double-braided it, it's mean inside the flex section also has it, guess what happened? The fallen mesh had been inside your exhaust system, the result? BLOCKED catalytic converter! I am lucky enough to find out this before it's too late, I took off the converter and clean out the Steel mesh as much as I could, still some stuck inside the comb(the mesh crumble into small sections of needle like steel).******3 1/2 years later, the flex section is cracked as I predicted, now I need to buy another one, this time no more Walker！！！

Perect fit on my 03 Toyota highlander V6.

Exhaust pipe fit like oem. And was reasonably priced would recommend for a 2000 Lexus rx 300

I bought the bullet, put the old Highlander on ramps and decided to replace this pipe which has the rust-prone flex-fitting on it after attempting to bandage the old one with clamps and sealer. Getting the old one off was an ordeal after 18 seasons of salt and winter, but it came off with the flanges intact eventually, after a lot of PB Blaster, impact wrenches and torn knuckles (wear gloves!). You will need the two (different) gaskets for each end (31374 and 31332), and likely 4 new bolts to replace the old ones (they are also two different sizes, keep the old ones to take into your local fastener store). If I remember correctly, one pair was 5/16 x 1.5 inches, the other 3/8 x 1.5 inches. I put the rear flange on first, caking the gasket and flange in Ultra Copper RTV and tightened loosely, and the front flange did not line up evenly. I had to put a floor jack under the front part of the pipe and press it up, then tightened the bolts to snug it up as evenly as possible. Even with torquing them way overtight to crush the gasket as much as possible, there is a slight gap difference between the front flange top and bottom - maybe a 16th of an inch. After letting the RTV cure overnight and a prayer or two, I started the engine up and all was sealed and quiet. So far, so good. Not sure if the fitment issue is a Walker issue, or just movement on a 18 year old vehicle, but a good pipe nonetheless.

Perfect fit. Should have sold together with the to washer rings which costed another $12 to buy based on suggestions. Otherwise,there is no way to keep the tight seal by using the old rings. Would like to give 5 stars but want to wait and see if it holds up.
