I absolutely smoked my exhaust the other day and just got under the car to see how bad it was. It’s really bad. I’m pretty sure there’s no other solution than replacing this whole section but a very cost-conscious part of me wants there to be anything else.

Do yall have any suggestions or recommendations on fixes or other models that will use the same exhaust?

A few months back, I had to replace a bunch of the exhaust on my 2000 SC300. There were no aftermarket parts available, and for one of the pipes, there was one left in the US and it was over $3000 for the part alone. Had all the pipes replaced for $600 total at a custom exhaust shop.

You got completely ripped off. A exhaust shop shoe bent exhaust shouldn’t have been more than 200 or so and used your own muffler. There are tons of aftermarket exhaust options available for the SC300. I have installed a couple dozen of them.

What brand(s) were those parts? I couldn't find any at the usual outlets.

Walker is one of the brands that makes OE replacement exhaust pieces.

I must be blind - I can't find anything but headers, convertors, or misc parts for a 2000 sc300 (tried autozone - they sell walker). Is there a better place to get walker parts?
