any1 know if it is easy to install a y pipe cause i just got mine and i thought maybe i can install it myself, any1 have any tips for me?

 

search is one tip for ya

 

Its so easy you can do it in the dark. Seriously. If you can change the oil you can do this. Unless your stock y-pipe bolts are rusted to your cat (like mine was) and you can't get them off. Then you get pi**ed off and take a torch to it. But the guy who had the car b4 me didn't take care of it.

 

lol, how do i get under the car?

 

you will see where the bolts are on the exaust manifold and on the cat when you get under the car. Becareful not to mess up your o2 sensors. It is just a direct replacement.

 

im gonna put mine on this weekend too. someone told me to put some anti-seize on the bolts b4 tightening so you might wanna do that, if you plan on taking it off if you get rid of your car...

 

k thanks ^^

You'll need PBBlaster or WD-40. Lots of it and time for it to penetrate.
Impact wrench will save the day.
Damn. now i remember it, I almost gave up on my first install attempt.

 

It's easy to install the y-pipe, just have alot of time and patience. Nissan must of have done some magic tricks to get the back bolts on to the y-pipe.

Make sure that you have alot of rust-be-gone kinda of liquid and a strong helping hand. I took off the y-pipe by myself and that fu<king pipe fell on my head. Trust me, have help.

 

You wanna be my helping hand Will???

 

buy some ramps, some wd-40 and spray the bolts 2 days before ou take off the exhaust, it should come right off

 

wzup, trevor!!!

If you got the y-pipe, then lets get started.

Well impact could also break or strip the bolts. Breaker bar is better.

 

I get the feeling its not too hard. I just dont wanna put too much leverage and bend something out of place.

 

thanks for the replies

 

Where did you get your pipe, and how much did it cost?

Please let us know how your install went. I remember the FAQ said you could
just take your car to a muffler shop and pay them to loosen the bolts. Thought
that was a good idea.

 

i got it of ebay, i paid 200 and its warpspeed
