What are my best options for a y pipe? I live in California and no stores will ship out to me.

Warpspeed seems to be the one most people like. They don't ship to Cali. BUT, do you have any friends that live in another state that you could have it shipped to and then they ship it to you?

Whatever you do finally decide to do..... Remember, California has a strict inspection pass. All those sensors have to be not sending codes! Probably the exhaust needs to within a certain limit as well?

If you have a 1999, there's more hoops to jump through.

Seems like the reasonable route to go, thank you brotha.

Unfortunately I have a 98. Is the installation too much of a pain to switch out every smog check?

It's pretty easy if you have swivel joints between the extension and the socket. Once you become a pro at it, you'll have it swapped in 30 minutes or less.

I see what you did there...

Us Californian's don't need no stinkin' anti-sieze! It only rains 3 times a year, and never really get's below freezing.

Come On...... Anti-Seize doesn't smell bad!

And that SoCal weather surely smells GOOD! About 30 years ago my friend lived in Pacific Beach and I flew out for 10 days. There were a lot of things to be jealous about!

Never dreamed Anti-Seize would be in that conversation! LOL

Wizard, have you had any issues with the warpseed y pipe and passing CA smog tests? I have a 95 and finally was able to get a hold of a warpspeed. My concern is that I will not be able to pass the smog the next time it comes around
