probly a stupid question but are budget Y pipes still around? how does one buy one? i can't seem to find anything on the web for budget or lyell.

if not, what is the best solution to fixing a leaky stock y pipe? I don't care about performance.

Where is the leak? If it's at the flex section, that can easily be replaced.

 

They're crap, don't buy one

 

Just had my flex section replaced today. Cost me $245.00 at the local monro shop. The cut out the old one, welded in a flange and installed the new one with new gaskets.

From what I've seen, I paid too much, but I drive 130 miles round-trip to/from work and didn't want to wait for ordering a y-pipe.

Mileage went down noticeably while it was leaking too.

 

Paid too much?? Man, you got butt-raped. Sorry dude but I had to laugh because I only paid $60 for mine. That price along with another few hundred could have probably got you an new OEM one.

 

Could have bought a brand new warpspeed for that money.

 

Ouch, you got raped.

 

I checked around here (central ohio) and all the shops were over $200.00 installed. I knew I could have bought a y-pipe, but delivery would have taken a week or more and I can't wait that long. No torch or welder in my tool kit, so I couldn't have put the replacement on myself.

Yea, sucks to pay that much, but I got back on the road in a few hours and it's warrantied for 2 years.

BTW: new OEM w/pre-cats are about $550 around here. Again, about a week to two for the dealer to get one.

 

Any idea on the cost range for the repair to the flex mesh of the Budget Ypipe? I got a quote for $200 to cut it out an repair. sounds a bit steep but they have to 'take the pipe off'. I originally thought that was fine, but is $100 more realistic?

 

Mine isn't-had mine on for years and no problems whatsoever.

 

They don't have to take the pipe off. That's just BS. Bring in your own flex and it should be $100 at the very most (should be less). If not then bring it elsewhere.

 

Yes, I agree 100%. Mine has been excellent, I am very happy with my Budget Y Pipe!

Back to the original question.....Is Budget still making Y Pipes for our cars? If so what is their contact info?

Thanks,
Zack

 

A while back ago we contacted Budget and placed an order.
View the contact info somewhere in this thread:

My Budget y-pipe didn't fix exactly, but the mechanic and his tools made it fit. I've been very pleased and after 2 hash salty winters (Canada), the pipe still looks like brand new.

 

So this has happened to the flex pipe on my Budget y pipe as well. I'm looking to buy the flex pipe, take it to a muffler shop and have them install it. Does anyone know the size of the flex pipe on a Budget Y, though. I've looked up some on eBay, but my concern is that those are meant for the stock pipe. Any thoughts?

 

Jeez you got gangbang prison raped, Shawshank Redemption style!!!

 

This is what I am trying to avoid and that's why I need to know the size of the flex pipe that is on the Budget y pipe I installed.

 

Get down under there and meassure it or contact the dealer for specs.

 

Here a Ypipe for sale on eBay....
