this guy has one for sale and im about to buy it, but as far as i know, they usually dont sell the ypipe and header separate, my question is, will the ypipe fit on my car without me having the headers? and how good are they?

 

i believe so because the headers are shorty... id invest in a better quality y-pipe myself... atleast a budget or wsp so you know what you are getting...

i have heard a lot of bad things about SMR, but mr.eous likes his SMR setup? others will help out with their opinions i'm sure...

 

I have a SMR and like it. Not sure where the "bad rap" is coming from...I had mine ceramic coated for its thermal barrier properties. I have an additional y-pipe (ceramic coated) in the classifieds...

 

hey i have a ceramic coated SMR also!! imagine that lol. The y pipes were sold by themselves long long before they came as a set with the headers. For some reason most of the people who bought them though either didnt install them or they sold them right away. no bad comments like rattles, bees in a can, or fitment issues that ive seen. There all stainless steel and if your lucky like millwoodva and i you will find a ceramic coated SS one. two words, Great quality and low price. no dissin what you dont know or own or have personal experiance with. -Ryan

 

i have a stone racing and it worked good. i took it off cause im gunna trade my car. i had a fitment problem had to cut it in the middle use a coupling and weld it up. im trying to sell it for 80 shipped if ur interested. but if u buy a new one it wont fit there was a few otehr people that had the same problem

 

My installer said that once the pipe was in his hands, it was bolted in place in 5 minutes. He said it was not a "sloppy fit"... ie: rock one flange on and then the other.
With all 6 studs squarely on the flange..slide right into place.....

 

i have one, he prolly selling it cause it got bad flex "BEES IN CAN" noise. it make your exhaust really loud. peformance wise its really good. it fits nicely.

 

wasn't "dissin"... just warning him because as you could see some other people posted their stories and they didn't like them...

 

hmm maybe the older models were messed up with fitment or somthing?? i guess the ones that fit should be called SMR II

 

uhmmm....dang, not sure if i should go with it then. maybe i should hold off.
i actually just traded my whole ypipe + catback system (greedy w/apexi ws exhaust) for a stock set up since i was going to sell my car. now i have decided to keep it so im really regreting everything i have parted out of my car. this sucks, buying everything all over again! =(

 

i know exacly what u mean! i did the same thing to find out the 02 i was trading for sold. i was screwed and now about 4 months later i finally have everything back plus a little. i figure it to be a learning experiance because this way if i didnt like my last setup, any parts like (shortram ebay intake evolved to PR CAI) stuff like that i can improve on.
