N15MNO-Daron Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 My Y pipe section on my Nismo exhaust has just blown (air seeping out of the flexi part on left side) and only 5 months old! Making horrible whistling sound.. Has anyone experienced this before?? Need a bit of advice about what i shud do? It came from USA.. Request a replacement as its under warranty? or request refund and get another make of Y pipe? Any recommendations please? Quote
H5 Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Assuming it is a reputable dealer I would imagine you would have a replacement being shipped under warranty / guarantee to you within about 24 hours of contacting them again..... Quote

If you have no joy with the warranty we can supply a new Y section for £130 we have them in stock. Quote

It's a first to us, we have had one system crack as a result of the Kinetix cats, but no further issues and over 50 exhausts supplied. As you have mentioned had it been bought from us you would have had a new one tommorow. Quote
GIXXERUK Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 i have read about nismo's cracking before although this is usually with aftermarket cats fitted and after the car doing donuts !! lack of flex within the system get a replacement, if you dont then name and shame the supplier Quote
Beavis Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Is this a Brinster one? Yes it is Digsy Quote
N15MNO-Daron Posted February 25, 2008 Author Posted February 25, 2008 umm.. dont usually like to name the seller in case it hurts their reputation (unless they do something bad) Its just an unlucky fault i think.. i do drive my car hard.. but whats the point of sports exhaust system if it cant handle it? ive contacted him in US and requested a replacement.. due to the time diff i assume il get a reply later tonight or tmr ..il keep u updated.

If there's a fault it reflects on the manufacture/design and not Brinster. How he handles your problem on the other hand will be telling. Quote

Adam@Z1auto.com Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 unfortunately the problem is not the Y pipe persay...its the Kinetix cats. I can't even tell you how many people here in the US have had a failure with that exact setup. Seems only a few cats/test pipes work out well in the long term with aftermarket Y pipes Quote
