well...its been a while since i've installed my ypipe.and i thought it was bees in can...but the thing is...its not...


see where its circled...the retainers that go on the rear headers have all come out and wont go back in...is there any way that i can get the retainers in there...they wont come in....i need some major help with this guys.

right now im running on 2/3.

the retainers look like this...


they keep coming out with the threads all fcuked up.

any tips guys?

 

What do you mean they keep coming out? Like...they rattle out and cause your exhaust to leak? Or the threads come out all f'd up each time you take off the y-pipe? Either way I'd use a tap and die set to restore the threads then reinstall them with a little bit of loctite on them. If I've misunderstood your problem let me know, goodluck

 

dang...im sorta reluctant to that...umm...how much do u think an exhaust shop would charge??since its all the way they're in the header...

 

The best bet is just to call a muffler shop and get a quote from them, they should be able to just estimate it over the phone and give you a ball park figure, that way you're not wasting gas going down somewhere for a price you don't want to pay. You could also get with a knowledgeable mechanic that should be able to do it.

 

ahh...and for the record....

the topspeed ypipe is not a flop...nor did it come with any bees in a can.

it was my own error that created the noise.

 

does that mean you resolved the issue?

 

the nonexistent bees in a can issue???

yes...but the retainers???no...they're gonna charge between 30 and 50$ for that...

they're gonna put thread chasers through and then put in the new retainers.
