So I might put on my old exhaust system that I had before the accident. Cattman Y with a fubar'd but wrapped flex, RT cat, custom cat-back and y2k maxima muffler. That was a sweet sounding system.

Does Napa sell the Y o-rings? I don't need the other flange gaskets as my connections are all ball joint type

If it feels like it improve things, I should probably dyno again. It will probably help the hp(175hp) but might might help or hurt the torque(185 ftlbs).

I'll have the original VE proformance Ypipe as a spare. Just a FYI. This is either THE or one of the 1st, ever performance Y pipe made for the 3-gen. It was a custom dealie. Works very well still.

 

You might have to go to the dealer for the o rings. I have checked many part stores and none carry it.

 

1. I'll ask chris, he just installed his Cattman
2. I'll PM you about that other one

 

Yeah, I got my o-rings from NAPA, as well as the gasket for the cat. They even had them in stock here, believe it or not. I don't think they were all that much, either. We have a dealership here, but I don't care for their service dept. so I just got them from NAPA.

 

I just got back from Napa. The regional Napa supplier is just south of me near Ikea. They were like $4.xx each.

 

Jeffy, give brian a shout and ask him what it would run to have the dead flex repaired...

 

My Napa owns your Napa.

Done yet Jeffy?

 

Everyone seems to overlook it but, Borla turbo mufflers are SS, $100 and they sound pretty good on Vg's so they could only sound better on the VE.

 

Yeah...about time to improve that ricey exhaust.

 

So, when are you going to post the pictures?

 

I just got done. No more fart can exhaust! Just sweet sounding exahust along with a nice Porshe like rasp when getting on it.

Dunno if it's stronger or not. Might have a tad more low end.

I also got one rear RSB link welded on. But for the life of me I couldn't get the 2nd one to stick. Geez, Spent 2 hours trying.

 

Did you grind both peices down abit first?

What Side was it that was causing problems, drivers or passenger?

I wanna hear what it sounds like.

 

I think one of mine has broken already.

 

go out and check, I wanna know

Do they normally break under hard cornering, potholes/speed bumps, or it just whenever because the metal is fatigued?

How long has it been Dave, 3 weeks? I think it's been longer.
