i just got off the phone with Stillen.
Stillen finally heard the complaints of many rust problems with their Y-PIPE....now, Stillen Y-Pipes are also chrome coated(wait....i'm not sure if it is chrome or something else...)...anywayz...the point is....it is no longer made out of nickel and other alloy....so, the new Y-Pipes will not rust like the old ones!!!
i'm picking one up this afternoon. i'll post tonite about my new investment!

-peace

and uh....i almost forgot...

the price on these new Y-pipes have also gone up...
it's now at $347 instead of $299.....
well, i guess this is a small price we must pay for rust-free pipes...

peace

Re: and uh....i almost forgot...

man.....$350 for a Y-pipe now?? that's expensive dude...
But I guess it's better than having your pipe rusting after 5000 miles.

Sup Hoon, i wanna ride ur car after you installed the Y-pipe see how loud it'll get.
