Anyone one have any complaints with their Budget Y-pipe?

 

Yeah, i got this rattlesnake type noise between 2k-3k rpm, but that is easily fixed with either exhaust wrap or a custom made noise shield. IMO It's a good y-pipe for the $$

 

Thanks, i hope thats it.

 

Oh did i mention the power increase?

 

I had the same buzzing noises, but got a lined flex section welded in and now its nice and quiet. otherwise, the pipe is of good quality.

 

how much did the lined flex section cost plus labor welding it in?? i have a budget y pipe sitting in my room and am wondering if i should put it on right now or wrap or do something first.

 

wrap it first!

 

yeah, got the whole buzzing noise, never heard unless i release the gas pedal at the car hits around 3-3.5K rpm. Ill fix it with some exhuast wrap soon...

So just as long as i wrap the exhaust that should solve the buzzing noise. Ok then i'll check it out, Thanks.

 

I heard if you wrap the y pipe, it will start rusting? :X

 

i get the EXACT same thing as you
other than that its fine

for those asking, exhaust wrap does shorten the life of the metal on the ypipe.

 

i used a custom header gasket and solved the bangin problem

 

doesn't the heat from the y-pipe dries the wrap and the wrap slightly increases proformance? dosen't it also act as an extra layer to protect things like salt in the winter?
are you experiencing rusting now?

 

I had a pretty bad problem. The hole for the front left O2 sensor was welded at a bad angle so I had to get my exhaust shop to weld one below the original one. $30 later it's fine. I think I'm the ONLY one that had this problem though. If I tried to put the O2 in it wouldn't go in because the cv joint was in the way. Now that the pipe is in I think my cat is rusted through or something because of the loudness...

 

If ur speaking of the Budget pipe, stainless steel = no rusting.

 

oh. cool.

 

That buzzing sound has being driving crazy lately. I was even contemplating getting rid of it and opting for a cattman or warpsped. But I will try getting that flex joint from warpspeedperformance.com first. Hope that solves the problem.

 

I wonder why budget doesn t fix the rattle or buzzing sound...I would say that it would be a extra piece of mind for most of us...I was thinking of getting one,but so far I didn t do it yet do to the noise facts. I see here all kind of opinions regarding that ( wrapping or custom shiels ) that shouldn t be the buyer responsability. It would be most popular Y pipe for our cars... Just my $ 0.02

 

where on the budget website is the y pipe? I only see f and b-pipes, I know wut a b-pipe is, but wus a f-pipe

 

just installed mine today. it's soooo loud with my muffler, i sound like the biggest rice boy! hate the noise so much so i'm gonna have to get a resonator installed this upcoming week.

 

F-pipe is the same thing as a Y-pipe

Y-pipe is also known was a race pipe or downpipe

 

Gentlemen,

When ordering from Budget all you need is to ask for the Flex section!!!

Here's mine:

Don't blame Budget!!! If you never ask, you'll never know!

Rusty.

 

Dony they all come with flex sections?

 

what is the flex section? how much does it cost?

would i still need wrapping and does budget sell it? sorry i dont really know what im talking about, but im gonna order a downpipe this week probably

 

they all come with flex sections if they didnt they'd cause alot of damage to the manifold nuts n bolts

 

mine also makes that rattlesnake sound people talk about. i figured they would have had that fixed by now but apparently not. i don't even want to drive my car until i can get a resonator and perhaps some wrap on it.

 

jeez its not that bad dont be so @n@L lol jk!

 

so do i buy this wrap from budget or elsewhere and how much?

 

its usually about $35 a roll u can get it on ebay i believe

 

steel rusts...
