I recently crushed my y-pipe. my car bottomed out and crushed the piping in half, so now i have alot of back pressure building up. Anyone ever had this happen to them, my pipe hung down lower than the crossbeam that would take all the blow from bottoming out, and now its dead. if anyone has heard of this before, tell me please. thanks

which Y-pipe??

well the stock and the OEM replacement are above the crossmember. if it's cattman's then you're SOL. maybe have a shop cut the bent part and reweld new piping.

well with the cattman

he designed the pipe too low. i assume you have one of the older ones? ..you have the VE right? the older VE pipe was too low and cattman knew this...well the only thing to do is head over to a exhaust shop to get that piece cut out and rewelded...given the rest of the material on the pipe is good.
good luck
