Hopefully I get my new Y-pipe tomorrow so I can replace it this weekend

Is it just bolts off/bolts on (new gaskets ofc) replacing or are there other part that needs to be removed?

 

Which y-pipe did you get? WRP Speed? If so it comes with the crush rings. Go to 4dsc.com it will answer your question.

 

Had to go with the OEM pipe, I know its a crap design, but the warpspeed was double the price, could not afford it atm, and my old one really needed to be replaced now, as the flex had broken off and it makes hell of a noise.

 

you get what you pay for. the oem design is a pos

 

Piece of ****? oh yea, but it served my car ok in 20 years, so I guess I can live with it some more

 

just wait until you run into major problems and then get back to me lol

 

I will

 

Hell you could fixed it for least than $50 with just replacing the flex section

 

???

The stock y-pipe on my 89 is still working fine. But I'm still going to get the Warpspeed as soon as I fix the other problems on it.

What was your experience with the stock pipe?

 

Probarly could, but the rest of it was not looking very good either, so it had to be replaced sooner or later anyway.

 

Im pretty sure hes not talking about the reliability of it. Go to the warpspeed website.. It explains how inferior the stock design is compared to the warpspeed.

 

I just realized; nobody answered the question. this went way off topic real quick (sorry, we seem to have a serious case of.... um... forgot what we were talking about...)

only thing on the y-pipe is the o2 sensor. may be a bish to take off, but hopefully not. just remember the PB blaster (or choice of penetrating lube )

 

Thanks, already got it in place, only problem was getting off the cat had to cut off and replace those bolts.

The difference of warpspeed and OE as far as I have read is that the flow on the warpspeed is better as the OE forces the exhaust from the rear manifold forward instead of streamlining it backwards?
It gives a bit more torgue and a few hp's extra, no big deal for me.
