i ordered a VG y pipe close to a month ago and since then i bought a VE 5spd, i was wondering if the VG y pipe will fit on the VE ? thanks a lot for your time

 

dont think so...fill us in on the VE

 

awww Flunk, i waited a month and half for the damn y pipe and now i got this car and it wont fit.....sheeit, Well anyways, its a Pearl 92 SE 5spd, it has a custom CAI, and a new clutch, 96 SE rims new tires, bose, VTC's are in good condition, all in all a very good looking fast car, but im very diappointed in the fact that the y pipe wont fit......sheeit, now what ? all i can swap over is the damn Clear corners, and GReddy cat back, this blows

 

you can swap over the headlights too (i see in your sig you have bmws)

 

i think it might fit wiht slight modifactions.

 

define "slight modification"??
you'll have to cut the rear flange off and weld on a longer piece (to rear manifold). also the front needs to be slightly adjusted.
if you call that slight..then go for it...but IMO that's a major modification to a Y-pipe.

 

seems pretty minor to me..

 

i wouldnt define slight because i dont know how hard it is, but you just did yourself and i would rather do that then buy another y pipe.

 

so u said it's "slight modification" but had no idea what's involved?

 

 

no i said slight modification because other companies have sold one y pipe for both engines, and quoted from warpseed performance "Our competition still wonders why theirs have fitment problems" and if it was that hard i would have thought they would have said, "why they dont fit"

 

that sucks, but oh well at least you got a ve 5spd
are you gonna bring it to the 4/6 meet? also do you still want to help me with my bmw lights? if you do and you need a deck, Ive still got my clarion Double din, which ill give to you for a real low price if you help me.

 

i'll buy your y-pipe if you want to see it?

 

ummmmm, duh????

 

I can tell you for certain that a Warpspeed VG y pipe WILL NOT fit a VE 5 spd.
I've tried it. it hits the shifter linkage. you'll have to completely rebuild the pipe in order to make it fit..

if you haven't installed the VG pipe, give them a call and explain the situation. They SHOULD let you send it back and you just pay shipping for a VE pipe.. That's of course given that it's still brand new and all the gaskets and stuff are still there.
(I would do it if I had sold you the pipe anyway, but it's up to them for the final call).

Can't hurt to call and find out.

EDIT here's a pic showing why it won't fit.


see how the two primaries come together side by side just before the Y piece? the shifter linkage on the car is right about the middle of the second pipe.

 

Thank you all for responding and getting this mystery out of the way, i will have to talk to Dallas as far as send it back is concerned, the y pipe is still in its box, i havent even opened it to see what it looks like, LOL....so its 100% brand new with a never opened box, BTW whitymax, are you serious about the purchase ? its a S/S TIG welded y pipe, i went for the most expensive one, like i have mentioned, i havent even opened the box, let me know. thanks later.

 

Matt, that is the UGLIEST Ottoman, or whatever the hell that is, I have ever seen.

 

Yeah I have the infamous "one size fits all pipe on my VG, and it rubs the sway bar at low RPMs. I bent it just a little and it is hardly noticeable, and only happens in first gear at low speeds

 

LOL it's a chair.. and that's why it's in the garage.
It was left in the house my sister bought a year or so ago.. the lady that lived there before then moved out in about 85, and no one lived in the house since.. so the chair's brand new, but 18 years old.

 

im pretty sure some one would but the old pipe off you
what are you askin for the price, cuz thats next on my list

 

good ebay sale there!

 

 

It'd cost more to ship it than it's worth. pawn shop.
