Y pipe?

What's up with this y pipe for my '01?
Gotta love the price!
I asked the guy about it and he said perfect fit on my '01 b/c I don't even
need the smaller extension pipe. That's only for the '95-'99 and that's the
piece with the imperfection.
So whatcha think?

an imperfection in the flange could lead to a sizeable exhaust leak.

I always thought that was sloppy himself... I did wonder why he said he had a black Max while it was a blue Max in the sig...

That Y-Pipe looks like it has a bend behind the flex section that mine didn't have. Mine was a Cattman Cali spec. Not sure if that would fit...

I wouldn't touch any exhaust or intake equipment with a flange flaw. If it doesn't mate perfectly, you've got a big problem, not only of the drivability and performance kind but also of the legal variety, at least out here in California. I can fix/modify quite a few things in my well-equipped garage, but a messed flange isn't among them. If it was easily fixed, you know the seller would just do it and sell it in good condition.

My two cents!

I have a WSP Y-pipe with a flange flaw. The flaw is that the flange is welded on a little twisted. It is possible to install the Y-pipe, there are no leaks, but the twist in the flange pulls the rest of the exhaust down and causes the b-pipe to bang and rattle on road bumps, especially after the car is warmed up (the rubber hangers get softer I guess).
