Choosing and fitting Y pipe

[lukekbrown]

Hi,

 

I've just had a Scorpion exhaust fitted and noticed that my OEM Y pipe is in bad condition, therefore have decided to get a new one.

 

Firstly, will the below y pipe be okay to fit? As have heard lots of things about madrel bends, welding quality etc

If not, what y pipe do you suggest, or what y pipe do you have fitted, do you get any problems?

 

Can this be easily fitted? I.e. does the existing one just bolt off and new one on? I'm assuming I don't need to disconnect CAT's or link pipes?

 

Thanks

As the saying goes..... You get what you pay for...

 

I've supplied a lot of Stillen Ypipes to members. They are the best for the money imo Plus a lot of the members i've supplied them to have the Scorpion exhaust you know it will fit fine.

Just had a scorpion fitted y pipe back as my OEM was rusted and blowing

 

Sounds nice except for the rattling coming from somewhere behind passenger seat - garage (dealer - Wessex Nissan) said they had a bit of a mare trying to fit the scorpion to the OEM ypipe.

 

Do you reckon a Stillen might help? What price can you do shipped to Bristol? Cheers bud

First issue here is that you went to a Nissan dealer.

 

Always better to use an experienced performance garage tbh.

 

£250 delivered buddy, lead time 5 working days max

 

It may help, quite a few members have the Stillen/scorpion combo and they all seem happy

excellent - I'll do some sums and PM you in the next couple of days if I can afford it

 

re: dealer - yeah...I know..

 

did some searching on here and Bristol seems a bit lacking in reliable garages - some people even saying Wessex are OK and from chatting to them they actually seem OK. Didnt charge me quite as much as originally quoted too.

 

but - i do now have a @*!# load of rattle. So anyone know a garage in Bristol?

I have an OEM Y Pipe available if anyone wants it.

 

It's done about 25k miles, been off the car for about a year now.
