topspeed y pipe . ..

if I got a topspeed y pipe but the person selling it did not have the hardware to go with it (ie bolts and gaskets) should i still get it if its a good deal? or are these items going to be difficult to come by? Thanks

Gaskets will cost you about $20 at the dealer and you use the stock nuts.

You need 3 14mm nuts and bolts to connect the front piece to the rest of the y if it was shipped to you in 2 pieces. Mine had an extra o2 sensor hole in too (for a total of 3), you may need to plug that.

Unfortunately if your bolts are all rusted, you'll be going to the shop no matter what-- I've had to do that for my y pipe and test pipe = not fun nor always cheap

if you cannot reuse your old bolts that you take out of the y-pipe what size do you need to get to replace them?

i just broke the stud off, and drilled a hole and put in my own bolt, make it however big you want it to be.
