Another y-pipe question from me . sorry guys/ Pictures added

If it would be a cattman or budget or wrapspeed would it say the name or just some number ? my other question is what does the y pipe come with ? any gaskets or anything like that ? thx agian

To answer whether or not your y-pipe with come with gaskets, you'll have to ask the seller on the org. If you're buying new, then it probably would come with gaskets, but probably not with a used one.

It doesn't matter. make sure the seller guarantees that fitment is good and that the pipe doesn't give you the bees in the can noise. that's it. if it's used then you will have to ask the seller what it comes with; when I bought mine new from Budget it came with crush gaskets.

how bout pics? "him and i don't know" doesn't help one bit. budget is pretty simple to tell from the rest of the market and cattman would have been a dead giveaway.
warpspeed/ssac/ebay all look similar with no distinguishing marks that i know of.

looks just like my budget and i think it looks just like my warpspeed did back when i had it. that's definitely not a cattman.
the real question is, why does it matter? as long as it fits then who cares what brand it is?

just buy it but def dont buy anything from nissan, you can get those gaskets at autozone or something. And they are just 2 little crush rings that go in their slot in between where it bolts to both of the exhaust manifolds. if in fact its either budget or warpspeed I think a fair price is $150 since its not been on the car? I think you said he said that. You wont need bolts. use the ones from the exhaust manifolds

when i was looking at the http://www.motorvate.ca/mvp.php/519 budget pipe i noticed that the bolt holes by the flex are more wider then the ones on the y pipe from the pictures i posted . idk if that matters or not but maybe its not a budget. sorry guys lol im just looking at a lot of pictures lmao

I have wrapped mine, and no I haven't noticed any difference at all. Me being so low it ends up getting ripped apart. I'll probably go back and wrap it again but will only wrap the flex section.

Hell yeah. Assuming you don't have any extremely rusted stubborn bolts, it's a piece of cake job. If you're still concerned, post up in your respective regional forum and ask for help.
Don't quote me on it, but here's what I think you need:
Jack
Jack stands
Breaker Bar
Ratchet
14mm deep socket
14mm wrench
extensions
knuckles
PB Blaster (to loosen the bolts, soak ahead of time)
22mm wrench for O2 sensors
And don't forget to install new gaskets at all 3 locations.
It's been a while, so please correct me if I'm wrong on the sizes/add to the list fellas

Did my friends y pipe the other day. Under 30min to take old one out and install new one. Very simple, mine nor his had any issues with rust or anything like that. We both have 200,000 plus miles.
#33
I guess you dont live in NJ lmao . I just looked under my car and those bolts look pretty bad .
#35
yea, it looks like hell under there . between the different salts citys use and the drastic weather changes throughout the year, unless you have air tools from heaven then its not gonna be 30 min
