so i just got my new y pipe today and plan on getting it installed tomm. im gonna get it welded on and i was wandering if that cost any extra than just getting it bolted on. i would get a ypipe inst. kit with the gaskets, etc... but i know how long it take custom max to send stuff out :/ thanks

 

why u welding it..?

 

umm weld it on...why???

if you dont have the install kit just like i didn't, go to an auto parts store and pick up a tube of high heat gasket maker and thats it!!

 

ghetto, goto nissan and get the gaskets.. LOL

 

haha..welding it aint going to hold...lol..just need the gaskets and hopefully ur old bolts still good but should be good cuz its a nissan =]

 

no need for welding.... bolts right up

 

yeah definitely just go to a nissan parts dept. and pick up the gaskets, you'll probably be sorry if you didn't.

 

The inexperience shows. I say take it to a shop before you hurt yourself.

 

it is ghetto, but it works and as long as no one knows its not real gaskets its not all that ghetto...

the only reason i went that route is i only had a free day on sunday and parts dept. isnt open on sundays but strauss is

 

Nissan dealer is opened till 9 on Fridays, well around here anyways. Get it today and be done with it.

 

What y pipe ya get, and for how much?

 

Welding huh?
I sure hope you never have to replace the flex section or have any other issues with the y pipe.

 

i bought it from a friend that also has a max for 70 bucks so i figured what the hell, i dont even know what kinda it is, dont really care, ill only have this car for another few months, and im getting a tiburon i think,i was goin to weld it cuz he didnt have the installation kit like i thought he did and i didnt wanna order them off custommaxima cuz everyone i know thats ever ordered nething off there has waited at LEAST a month to get the product, but i guess ill just go get some gaskets from nissan or w/e. and sure deezo, call me unexpierenced cuz i havent posted 11 k things on here cuz i gotta life, so i really dont give 2 shi*s, but thanks everyone else who actually helped and didnt try to be a smarta**... after all , i thought thats what this site was for ....thanks

 

you'll be very liked around here...

 

amen to that, i'm so sick of people who average like 5 posts a day or more and act like they are maxima guru's who know everything about the car and never give out advice unless its a question that only about 5% of people on the org would be able to answer

 

i welded mine on and i did regret it my flexpipe burnt through and the shop had to go through so much pain and the weld werent all that great so it used to whistle like a turbo under accel.. the gaskets are like 3-5 $ go with that

and none of us are maxima guru's we cant go through everything that can happend to a maxima so everyone knows a little thats how we help each other sarcasm is useles
usually all the "pro's" around here never did a thing on their car and think they know everything !!!
good luck with that pipe and bolts, you can get them at pepboys

 

So you are mad that the people that have been here a long time and know what they are talking about actually answer questions about difficult problems? Makes alot of sense

anything Ive ordered from them has taken 3 days. Just because some people have had problems with them doesnt mean that every order takes a month

 

ok, or i could just go to nissan like i said i would, if u read the thing, deeze didnt help us, great if hes been on here and knows everything, maybe he should put that knowlege to use instead of saying the inexpierience shows, yea im new sorry, cant do much about that, u gotta start somewhere

 

you're probably about to get banned. you do need to stop acting like a complete jacka$$ though, you're 17, you don't know ****.

take the pipe to a shop and have them install it. you may need to torch some bolts on the cat depending on their condition. ypipes bolt on, not weld on, if you didn't know that then you need to watch someone else do it first then try to do it on your own some other time.

 

i am takin it to a shop, i dont have the tools at home to do it

Thats because the God Damn answer is right there. Answers to questions that are located a few threads down...some answered directly in the stickies...and for a few bucks donated, you get to use the search function too!

We dont flame every teen noob that jumps on the site; its the ones that complain and moan about it instead of looking around for it first that pisses ppl off




...and a double : for the tiburon comment.

 

alright this is just turning into bs, sorry to everybody out there for bein a smartas$, but i just dont like to let things go when someone comes out of nowhere calling me inexperienced(which i know i am cuz im new to this) instead of just helping out or not saying anything, so just letting u know there wont be ne more smart comments from me, if somebody wants to try to put people 20 years younger than them down, ill just let it go

 

Maximariceboi.. that max looks hawt, good work.


hhsguy150 dont sweat it.....sometimes youll get flamed and sometimes you wont....

 

its ok man. its only the internet.

 

and this internet thing's just a fad, itll pass

 

internet sucks!

And IMO welding a Y pipe to the exhaust manifolds or to ANYthing is stupid.

 

Dude...so what if they called you inexperienced...you said it yourself, you are inexperienced....its the truth. Plain and simple. everyone has their own OPINION, and if you dont agree with them, then thats fine cuz you have YOUR own opinion, why are you taking it personal? like everyone said. this is the INTERNET...

 

that wasnt cool deezo, be cool deezo.

 

I take it you dont know Deezo

 

I want to know what shop thinks welding the y-pipe on is a good idea, first of all.

This question is like asking if you should polish your car with brake fluid.

 

So THAT'S why my bumper is like that..

 

haha......but seriously, someone must have done that to my hood before I bought mine

 

i would suggest you get your hands on a FSM for your car... it's the bible to your car and it'll make you less inexperienced and help you ask the right questions.

and don't take it so personally... like everyone else said... we all gotta start somewhere... i'd keep the max tho :/

 

nope, so what?
