Y-Pipe Question

Ok I have heard mixed answers to my question but I want to know if anyone has done it yet to there 02'. Ok will a 99 1/2 ypipe that does fit on a 00-01 Max fit on a 02? I had a 99 and I have a ypipe on it and its still sitting in the garage because I want to put it on the car but I dont if someone knows it doesnt fit. Thats all. I hope I made myself clear cause Im confused now. Ok thanks again.

.

It won't fit, larger engine and different architecture to the motor, Stillen is coming out with a header/Y-pipe combo soon

A 2K-2K1 Y-pipe will not fit on a 2K2. However, the theory exists that if you convert a 2K2's exhaust to Fed spec, you can then install a 2K-2K1 Y-pipe. To my knoweldge, no one has actually attempted to prove that theory yet.

I'd recommend that you wait for the Stillen solution to become available and sell your 99.5 Y-pipe to help raise the capital.
