I can't really imagine how that coulda happened, but would it be possible to weld that back in? What are his options? Also, does that pipe have a name? Thanks guys.

Just get a new y-pipe and all will be good. It costs more, but worth it in the long run.
To have a chunk welded in would probably be about $100 at a shop and the flex piece is going to go next.

Remember the kid just spent a bunch on replacing the clutch and tranny so throwing in a new y-pipe might be a bit much at this point...so I say weld the damn thing back in until he can pay all that money for a new pipe plus the cost of installation. Poor kid.

I bought a 90SE for $200.00 and the same week my brother bought 92GXE for $150 both in impressive condition. I just bought a y-pipe off the .org for $30 also in impressive condition. $200 for a y-pipe is not a good deal.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll make sure he sees this thread. Can anyone recommend a good place to get the warpspeed y-pipes? I doubt hes gonna get it, but who knows, maybe he might.
He needed a new axle as well which was damaged during the tranny incident. The spindles somehow flew apart

I think I should play the lotto because a guy I work with offered to sell me the one parked up at his house for the same kinda money. Anyway check out the ANSA front pipe (y-pipe, same thing) at autopartswarehouse for $168.72 shipped. Looks equal length too.

the ANSA pipe mimics the OE design which has a wicked 180* bend in it. the warpspeed eliminates that bend for better flow.
#14
$200 is the price for a new one from Warp Speed.

warpspeed includes the bung, as part of the design.

flex pipe will need the bung installed.

Tnx for putting it back up, I am in the process of changing mine but I need a o2 sensor socket.The one from autozone is too long, I think I will have to unhook part of the exhaust.

You can fix that for about $25....cut out a portion of pipe to cover the hole edges at least 1/2" all the way around (like a doubler) and drill the doubler to fit a O2 bung and have the bung welded to the doubler and the doubler welded to the Ypipe! This should last longer than the rest of the YPIPE!
