I need some help. I have a 96 SE and I have an emitions test coming up. Right now I have a hole in this thing:


A) What is this called?
B) What do I need to replace this?
c) Should I get a Y pipe?
D) honestly, how much is this going to run me?

Thanks for the help everyone.

 

Flex section. Buy a flex from epiflex.com. Either 2layer or 3layer. Should be under 40 bucks. Then you have to get it welded in, so that is another 10-30. Meausre yours so you can tell them. For the diamiter, it will be 2.5 for aftermarket ypipe and 2.25 for OEM.

 

that an aftermarket y-pipe? that looks like the flex section of an aftermarket Y...so you can either get a new y-pipe ($200) or you can get exhaust wrap for like $50 i think (not sure how much)...

 

That picture is from an aftermarket y-pipe. But the flex section looks the same as the one on my car. As far as I know I don't believe I have a aftermarket y-pipe.

 

Since it is stock, you might as well upgrade and get an aftermarket Y-pipe. It will give you more power. MPG stays the same, might even increase.

 

how much will the up grade cost?

 

Call hte people at Warpspeedperformance.com, ask them if you can still the a Ypipe for 160shipped for the Maxima.org Group Deal.

 

Thanks man. i'll give them a call monday

 

thats a flex pipe. yes get a y-pipe, unless you are not into going fast or whatever. you will not fail emissions with your flex pipe like that. mine was much worse and i passed my emissions test fine.
