We ship Monday you should get wednesday or thursday. We held up the order a few days so we could install of one our new flex section design on it. The new flex has a spiral wound liner, it is quieter and puts out more power and is stronger than the braided liner we have used for the last 10 years. It is worth the wait.

regards
Dallas

Not as far as I know. I opened the box just too see what was inside. I think it was just the regular flex.

Just curious. All you fellas with Y's standard or auto? Trying to gauge whether the Y will sap my already less than stellar AT low end.

Aye. Wonder if there are any AT charts out there somewhere. It's also not too often I get up to 6000-6500 as my tranny decides to shift as it pleases well before it making me think that a Y for my AT would be decent bang for my buck rather than a best bang for it.

Any thoughts from you Y havin AT guys?


oh and if my inquiries are imposing on your thread or lead away from your original question, sincerest apologies xkazik. Let me know and I'll be more than happy to git and start my own, I'm just wildly curious to see if a Y is all that for us poor AT bastards.

Ah good news then, very good news. Did you consider your Y a good investment?

very much so......It was 190 shipped for the aluminized one 2 years ago.....


But now I am looking into having a custom 2.5 equal length one made.........



Its called "the best bang for the buck" for a reason.
