Question about Y-Pipe install
 
I finally got my Cattman Y-Pipe from SWA (Shipped from Cattman). I'm still waiting on the B-Pipe, but it's supposed to be here this week. Anyway, there are no install instructions included and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there are any gotcha's in the install. Are there any special things that I need to be aware of? I've searched the install sticky and been to several sites looking for a write-up, but can't find one. It's Cali Spec BTW. Thanks.

I did not have instructions either but It was pretty easily understood when you're under the car.

If you have any questions just hollar.

i just noticed that yours is Cali spec. im pretty sure my intruction are just for Fed spec. i honestly dont know the diffirence, besides the Cali has extra O2 sensors.
unless someone here says that my intructions wont work, then ill send you them tonight.

the only hard part is putting the cattman ypipe on. you can loosen the front precat but that's a b*tch to do since there are around 6-8 bolts and they're all rusted on.

the front of the ypipe is a slip on so you can't just line it up with the flanges. so instead I just wedged the front part of the ypipe on with the jack and crowbar. took about 5 min. angled extentions are needed to get to some bolts.

it's just a basic bolt on part. nothing fancy. out with the old and in with the new.

How much did you pay for the B-pipe??

2k1seae 03-29-2004 12:55 PM

I am getting the B-pipe from SouthWest Auto (thru Cattman). This was part of a GD. Check them out for pricing. Mine took a while, but there were some problems with Cattman supplies. Anyway, Steve and Alex were good to work with.

frankieduxAE - I like your choice in cars. lol
