For the amount of time it took you to take all these pics and post, I would have had the damn thing on already.

Have a blow torch handy. The bolts connecting the Y-pipe to the cat were very rusty on my car.

Is ther a place for the O2 sensor??? And it doesnt effect california smog will it?

MrGone

iTrader: (30)

I know lol. I need to go buy one of those good drain pans so I dont waste my amsoil lol. I still need to fill up the tranny.
I've disconnected those bolts atleast 5 times already, besides my y-pipe has been off the car for a week . Oh and air tools help
Have you installed yours yet? I think there was a shipping error
yeap, its behind the flex section, already has antiseize in it, WarpSpeed =

Wait, you've had your max for how long, and didn't have a y-pipe till now?? j/k.. enjoy it!

MrGone

iTrader: (30)

yeap!
since June 03 for the white one, april 02 for the black one, never did buy one.

So I did it in almost the exact oppisite order that most people do, lol.

Now I need to go get a gasket for the catback side flange, I'm going to replace my test pipe with the cat.

CamryKilla

damn, you've been around the forums for 6,4xx posts and this is your first mod?? Enjoy the pipe tho

Jeff92se

iTrader: (82)

No it's not. As usual, Shawn Puffy Brains doesn't clarify shat. He has a Fidanza flywheel, Jeff92se style CAI, LTB, front/rear RSBs, Greddy catback, my old short shifter, and some other crap. I think he means this is his first mod he actually paid retail for or something.

CamryKilla

oh...gotcha, hand-me-downs

Spipedong90

Hahaha, lets see if it fits without extra modification.

(Shawn & Jeffy know what I'm talkin' about...)

Jeff92se

iTrader: (82)

I let Shawn boy weld some stuff last Sat when Chris got his car. You want pics of the welds he did?? hahaha!

Spipedong90

ahahahahahaha

I remember the good times with shawn at the welder back in february.... Shoulda seen them trying to make their own intake.

Jeff92se

iTrader: (82)

Yeah, I also remember them giving me back an empty gas bottle! I ran my current bottle for at least 2 hours of straight welding and it's still about 1/2 full. I think someone didn't turn the gas off or something. Oh well.

MrGone

iTrader: (30)

It wasn't me, back then I didnt touch it unless John said I could, because he was the one reponsible for it lol.

Technically my intake is a MrGone style intake, I was the first one with it and it was half my idea


I just got a quote for the LCA bushings, $100-$120 to get them pressed out, I kinda laughed, meh, forgot my wallet anyway (had to make it down there before 5 and was kinda rushing). How much do you think that your shop will charge Jeffy? I dont really want to mess with it, but I probably will anyway lol.

and yeah, I guess this could be my first mod I bought retail, I was just kind of fawking around with the thread title. Fidanza was new, Exedy was new, Matts stuff was/is new, but meh.

Jeff92se

iTrader: (82)

I don't know how much it will cost. Earls Machine is a machine shop. Don't know if they have a press but they should. 206-243-8284

And again, yes, the stuff was new but the question was you paying RETAIL. Not quite the same but I always end up or when having discussions with you. haha

Finally now put that ***** on!

k I'll call

is a group deal considered retail?

MrGone

iTrader: (30)

"you have reached Earls Machine Shop, we are open Monday through Friday, 8:30 to 5 .......*me hangs up*"
oh well

i remember that day.. then when i tried to install the y w/out a torch i was f((ing mad..anyway this mod will be felt right away..good luck

I wish I wasn't so busy, I'd make my own y-pipe.

DMad8724

iTrader: (4)

me too, but id make a z pipe

MrGone

iTrader: (30)

put it on and started the car, no gasket between the y-pipe and test pipe though.

for some reason it stumbles when you rev it to about 3000rpm with the VTCs grounded, ungrounded it goes away.
I'm thinking about just installing my LCA's and dealing with the bushings later, I want to drive it sooo bad hehehhee.

MrGone

iTrader: (30)

oh yeah, installing it was kind of a PITA, but meh. The trick is to loosely fit the socket on the extension and tighten it, or use 1/4" drive stuff (mine isnt here soooo), worked like a charm

iTrader: (9)

=O yours came with the mounting stuff?! ALL I GOT WAS THE RINGS! wat should i do? i got mine on the 17th but i dint get a chance to install it yet =/

MrGone

iTrader: (30)

came with:
Y-pipe
2 O-ring gaskets
1 2-1/2" paper/metal gasket
1 2-1/2" exhaust clamp w/"hanger" welded to it

I did not use the exhaust clamp hanger thing

Is that a honda sticker on that box?

xnyc

iTrader: (9)

is it necessary? did you use the stock one? my stock hanger is rusting and idunno if i can still use it or not.

i think im gonna contact them tmrw and get it from them. im having trouble with warpspeed for some reason. first time i called them and paypal them the money and all info. 1 week later i get no response, no ypipe, and nothing from them so i called them. they said they dont have me listed for a order and the lady says shes gonan find out from her boss. she tells me shes gonna ask her boss and she will call me later. did not get a call. i call them the next day and they dont pick up my call and machine says that the next business day is on tuesday. i called on a thursday i think. i call again on tuesday and they say the shipped it out and i recieved it on the 17th which was a friday. took almost 3 weeks for me to recieve my ypipe after i paypaled the money to them. and now im missing parts... just to make sure all y pipes come with this hanger and clamp rite? i have a 91 se just incase if thats necessary..

MrGone

iTrader: (30)

Well I ordered mine on the first, recieved it today. I think there was a shipping mishap, ohwell. I'm generally really patient (but not really lol) when it comes to shipping stuff. I didn't get charged until a few days ago. Meh, they are busy, and were very nice and extended the Group Deal pricing for me because I didnt think about the 3 hour time difference when I tried calling the previous day.

I didn't even want to call today because I hate pestering people. The WSP lady was nice, she was familiar with my order, gave me the tracking number (I didn't ask for it) and said it should be there tommarrow. Both times I've called (During business hours, hint hint) I've gotten ahold of her within 2 rings.

The shipping time sucked, I dont think it was their fault though, as another member who ordered his the same day got his almost a week earlier. Final product is very very nice, very pleased. Would be nice if the install was as easy as stock, but meh.

Who gets to the pizza deliveries quicker, the VE or VG ? Glad you put on that y-pipe already I never had a problem with the 3000rpm thing you mentioned before but then again my VTC's are stock and never gave any problems.

Crap, Shawn, it sure has taken you long enough to get that thing...and you have spent enough time dilly dallying around on the computer and not in the garage...

Why did you put your cat back on? Do you have to go through emissions soon or something? Or do you think it will be too loud?

BTW, for those of you complaining about the rust and difficulty taking off the pipe, etc. We live in an area that doesn't use salt on the roads at all. When I took my 11 year old y-pipe off last year, it was in perfect shape and came off with ease. I still used the same bolts for it. My muffler is still the original stock one (haven't put my GReddy on yet) and it doesn't have any rust. When it coms to exhaust, salt sucks, we win, end of story.

Spipedong90

[I'm a postwhore like shawn] I thought you bought that magnaflow a while back? Also, when did you get a GReddy?

Whats up G

White one . Actually I've been using the Jimmy lately, still hehehhe. I have the record for most runs during rush and most tips in one night .

MrGone

iTrader: (30)

I'm a fast typer

edit: oh yeah, putting the Cat back on so I can be stealthy like a Ninja! hehehe. No emissions for another year. crap, now you've made me change my mind, hmmm.
If I was really trying, I wouldn't combine multiple quotes into one post (this would be one post, but we're only allowed 5 smilies/pictures per post )

The Magnaflow is back in Chris's hands, although I had to convince him to take it. He didn't really want it (or remember it). He called me over asking about the muffler in the trunk and was like "I dont want this peice of crap *pauses for a second, thinks of the GReddy* here you take it ". Ofcourse I was the same way lolI Probably should have just taken it though, coulda put it on the Mustang

Jeffy, he said we dont do any suspension work. I asked 'even if its pressing out a bushing?' he said nope.
