Eh...not interested in installing any "performance" parts on this car anymore. OEM Y pipe will do me just fine.

I honestly think you'd be better off getting the OBX v2 headers. They're like 380 shipped. That's probably how much an OEM y-pipe would cost anyway.

And FWIW, I've been running my headers for about a year now without any kind of tune. Gas mileage improved a bit also too.

you need to either stop rallycrossing the car, or get a belly skid
