quick wheels Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 hi all, has anyone had the same experiance as me with the japspeed y pipe? my second one in 3 months has blown again at the flexi Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 i wouldn't have bought japseye speed stuff in the first place; several cases of poor fitment issues on exhaust back boxes etc and i believe they even blamed the OEM bumper cutouts for the poor alignment of one of their exhausts. bin it and buy something decent just my 2p's worth Quote
quick wheels Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 will be getting my money back, replacement was a exchange. any recomendations on replacement part? Quote
Woody Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 My japseye k1 centre baffle failed with in 9 month and I had nothing but bother trying to get replacement sorted. I wouldnt buy japspeed again! Quote
jollyranchers Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 damn dont tell me that i have one waiting to go on !! who else has had japspeed y pipe problems ????!!!!!!! Quote
quick wheels Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 damn dont tell me that i have one waiting to go on !! who else has had japspeed y pipe problems ????!!!!!!! sorry for the news, maybe they are having a bad quality run..... maybe Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 sorry for the news, maybe they are having a bad quality run..... maybe what since they started producing things; thats a bloody long bad run Quote
quick wheels Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 sorry for the news, maybe they are having a bad quality run..... maybe what since they started producing things; thats a bloody long bad run hahaha, do you know where i can get a good quality y pipe? Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 i think the chilli store might be able to help you out. for some reason i have a complete mind blank on tuner brands tonight; but i know husky was looking at a particular one and he is very picky with what goes on his car. drop him a pm and i'm sure he'd tell you.

Stew Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 There is a reason that Japspeed trading rights were removed from this forum. Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I recently supplied some stillen ones to a couple of members and they were a tasty bit of kit, will be getting some more, I sold them at £230 but there might be a slight increase due to the vat increase. Drop me a pm if interested Quote
BladesGrant Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I have japspeed Y pipe and no issues, also have the K2 without any issues. Think I am one of the lucky few. A lot of poeople talk about the XYZ I think and Abbey talk about them a lot some would imagine they are good. Quote

Wasso Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Motordyne XYZ pipe for me - going strong and still looks brand new since June of last year. Can't fault it, sounds great and does the job! Although I have JapSpeed de-cats, although what's to go wrong with a section of metal, apart from holes, although all in all no issues in the slightest. Quote

Although I have JapSpeed de-cats, although what's to go wrong with a section of metal, apart from holes, although all in all no issues in the slightest. im using japspeed decats also, i use the nismo y-pipe which is a bit of a failure, cost almost 200quid to get fixed and fitted. I used to have a k1, the fitting was slightly off. Very glad i sold it for the scorpion tbh Quote
Wasso Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Mark @ Abbey wanted to fit the Berks although couldn't get hold of them, to be fair I'm happy with these JS decats. But, what if I'd heard the Berks, would I be talking differently now? Saying that had I been granted the Berks the bill would have been a little higher, so glad of the Japspeed! Quote
quick wheels Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Update.............. removed japspeed decats (cracked) put std cats back on fitted replacement Y pipe (japspeed warranty) see what happens....... its is quite once more Quote
GT4 Zed Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Japspeed have been hit and miss and u have been lucky I guess! Got y-pipi, k1 and short shifter all over 1.5yrs and all working and had no fitting issues mind though you I had to bend an exhaust hanger to correct a slight tail pipe height disparity in relation to the bumper. I would'nt trust them with headers etc though because if it cracked it will be a costly PITA to change that you may have got a quality one in the first place Quote
