WTB: y-pipe

Well, it appears my flex section is completely frayed and dragging on the ground on my stock y.

I am looking for an equal length y-pipe. Anyone have one for sale?

definitely wrong place to ask this question, but...

what is the difference in equal-length and...any other kind?

i'm suddenly interested in getting a y-pipe and i know next to nothing, and no search tells me the difference. equal length would require replacing the headers, if it means what i think it does...?

To the OP: If you want an equal length y pipe, you need to get headers as well, and as long as you plan on staying N/A, it really isn't worth it, unless you really really care about how it sounds. And they aren't cheap either...Cattman sells them for around $900.

Id just go with a SS y pipe from either Cattman (great fitment), Warpspeed or Budget to see the best gains.

If I am not mistaken, the first gen Stillen y pipe is equal length and doesn't require headers right?

I like the sound that comes from the stock y, which is very restrictive but at least is equal length. I just can't stand that ricey sound that comes from the non-equal length y's.

Well, I just ordered a pipe from them about 10 days ago and received it last Friday, so the site isn't altogether dead now, is it.

You did notice it's a .ca address, not a .com did you, smart guy?

how the hell did you do that lol

all of the links bring up empty pages, and a search returns 0 results no matter what you search for. it even says "0 products in 17 categories" on the home page.

yeah, there's not a lot of info on the site. I did use it to contact them though. Emailed for info and then used the 800 # to order. Pipe was $250 CDN + $30 shipping (Canadian address). that's for an unpolished SS and all 3 gaskets. They had the pipe in stock. email is: BudgetExhaust@bellnet.ca

Had it installed today. Tried myself y'day but no way in hell I was getting the rusted nuts off the cat, so had my local shop do it - only cost me $30 to get the stock y off and the Budget pipe installed. haven't really had a chance to romp on it yet, but the nice low rumble from the exhaust (rest of exhaust is stock) is almost worth the price alone.

Correct. Good luck finding one of those now days though, very rare.

Stock y-pipe is not equal length. It is very restrictive removing those pre-cats will do alot.
