wide Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 hi i'm after an aftermarket y-pipe such as a japspeed or similar. thanks matt Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 I have got a shipment of Stillen ypipes due in the next few weeks, I have ordered an extra one for stock so I can reserve it for you if you require. £240 they are a lot more highly thought of than the japspeed and not that much dearer. Cheers Chris Quote
wide Posted November 8, 2010 Author Posted November 8, 2010 interested but £240 thats alot, i was hoping for a secondhand one. any pics???& info??? food for thought though. thanks matt Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 I'm on my iPhone at the mo but if you search stillen y pipe group buy you should find a pic. Like everything, you get what you pay for. There are cheaper ones on the Market, for £60 less you can get a Japspeed one. Personally I would be more comfortable spending a bit more on a trusted quality brand than a Japspeed one that you may have fitting problems with. Quote
spursmaddave Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 interested but £240 thats alot, i was hoping for a secondhand one.any pics???& info??? food for thought though. thanks matt Y-Pipes are not cheap, the cheapest Japspeed ones are still almost £200 Quote
wide Posted November 8, 2010 Author Posted November 8, 2010 Y-Pipes are not cheap, the cheapest Japspeed ones are still almost £200 i know hence " i was hoping for a secondhand one." but thanks anyway lol Quote
wide Posted November 9, 2010 Author Posted November 9, 2010 hi chris, is the stillen y-pipe the ridgid one without the flexi bits at the top & if so is there any issues with it being rigid as nearly all the rest are flexible to allow movement? thanks matt Quote
Dblock Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 hi chris,is the stillen y-pipe the ridgid one without the flexi bits at the top & if so is there any issues with it being rigid as nearly all the rest are flexible to allow movement? thanks matt IMO the only reason why the japspeed and the likes have flexi's is because of the shape its like a C shape. The stillen one has a better straighter design. Tarmac Il probably have one of those passenger side motors off you after xmas if you will still have them Quote
wide Posted November 10, 2010 Author Posted November 10, 2010 The flexi bit is for movement protection & is on most of the high end y-pipes too, not just the japspeed! (tanabe, md xyz, 5zigen, ect) http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Y-Pipe Stillen obviously decided it wasn't enough of an issue to warrant one as it would flow better without. Quote
