Hey all,

The flexible portion of the front exhaust pipe (Y-pipe) on my 92 GXE is rusted and developed a small hole. I checked the other sections of the pipe and they looked OK. I don't want to spend a lot of time to remove the whole front pipe and also try to save some $, so I plan to cut off the flexible portion and replace it with this part I found on the JCWhitney website:

My questions are:

a) What's the best tool to cut it off? A hack saw?

b) What's the diameter of the pipe and how long?

c) Should I use the supplied clamps, or welding is a better choice?

Thanks in advance...Dennis

 

this should be welded. I would recommend taking it to a muffler shop and paying them to do it for you.
I know it's more $$ to spend, but at least you know it will be done right and won't leak on you.

 

$90 bucks for mine and f'ed it up going over a speed mountain.
and had it fixed again for free though oyu gotta love warentied parts. but any way "pay a little more now or alot more later."

A pothole f--ed mine up. I am contacting the boys at Warpspeed to get a new one for $48.50.
