I have one which I took off my car after 400 miles so it is like brand new. Why would you want the most restrictive part of the OEM zorst system. OH! and I am not local Cheers, Alex. Quote

Got a nismo zorst and hi flow cats and Y-pipe keeps blowing.. its 2nd one ive gone thru - i seem to be the only one whos experiencing this in UK..im thinking maybe just put back the original rigid stock Y pipe I think if poss anyone local i can just come by and pick up.. posting that heavy lump wud cost a fortune.. thanks Quote
ZMANALEX Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Fitting back on an OEM Y section should be a last resort as they are soooooooooo restrictive. What do you mean by "keeps blowing" ? Does it crack and break or is it blowing at the flange gaskets ? A good quality Y section with the proper gaskets should not give you any issues if fitted properly. Do you still have the exhaust cross bar fitted at the front ? Cheers, Alex. Quote

I beleive i stil do have cross bar.. but need to check that again. Quote
martinmac Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Shipped a complete one over to N Ireland for £40 bud so not as expensive as you may think. That was by basic Royal Snail. Quote
M13KYF Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 think you need to investigate why your having this problem, sounds like the exhaust hasn't been fitted properly. Quote
Beavis Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Certainly not normal, something is well wrong. Am i thinking that you have just had this changed? Quote
lomoto Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 It's normal on the Nismo system's loads of people in the States have had their Y-piece split, my car has the standard Y pipe, as the Nismo one split ! makes it even worse apparently if you have the Hi Flo cats fitted as well I think thats why a lot of the after market systems retain the original Y pipe ??

Digsy Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Isn't this problem down to the cats? I would be thinking about getting rid of them. Quote
N15MNO-Daron Posted April 20, 2008 Author Posted April 20, 2008 Well.. it could be that it needs another support to stop it vibrating.. it seems to always break where the flexi parts are on the Y pipe.. and yes its only a couple of months old.. It cud be the kinetix hi flow cats too.. but i know loads of people who have this setup in UK and havent experienced this problem yet. Im gona go to Powerflo or Mr exhaust tmr and ask if they can fit a custom Y pipe without any wire flexi parts.. just straight stainless steel Y pipe..will be more rigid. If they cant do it.. then definately need to go back to stock Y pipe or maybe ask for alternate y pipe from phil.. i dont know how much they cost. Quote
N15MNO-Daron Posted April 21, 2008 Author Posted April 21, 2008 Talked to 3 garages.. they say the engine mounts might have gone.. or v loose.. and its shaking the y pipe all over the place.. but thats just over phone.. im gona go in and get it investigated. Quote
M13KYF Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 are you gonna replace it with another nismo one after you've had the mounts replaced Quote
N15MNO-Daron Posted April 21, 2008 Author Posted April 21, 2008 Mounts checked - nothing wrong with them.. Exhaust movement checked - nothing wrong with it. Garage says its Y pipe or the fitting. Now im v confused. Quote
lomoto Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Mounts checked - nothing wrong with them.. Exhaust movement checked - nothing wrong with it. Garage says its Y pipe or the fitting. Now im v confused. like I said before , it's not uncommon for the Nismo Y-pipe to split , put another make on or a standard item Quote

Dont know the cause , but you dont get problems with the standard item ?? Quote
N15MNO-Daron Posted April 21, 2008 Author Posted April 21, 2008 cant weld it... its the flexi part that blows Quote
Beavis Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 cant weld it... its the flexi part that blows Sub standard flexi bit then Quote
lomoto Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 cant weld it... its the flexi part that blows I think you can get flexi pipe in section lengths?? how about just cutting the original flex part out and clamping a new section in ?? Quote
N15MNO-Daron Posted April 21, 2008 Author Posted April 21, 2008 im going to the custom exhuast garage on wednesday ..theyll inspect it to see if they can make their own y pipe (much more rigid) or as u said cut and re-weld a replacement arm with new flexi - might cost a lot of money being custom made stainless steel! but other than that only solution i see is stock Y pipe or diff make of y pipe.
