benzed350 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I had the joy at the weekend of realising my y pipe has got a hole in it. I have got decats and a tannabe system, so I was expecting it to go, with the increased flow. But I'm not sure what one to replace it with. I was thinking an xyz pipe with HFC. But I don't mind running decats still. Any one got any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I ve just ordered a cobra y pipe due to the o/e flexi s decided to break at the weekend.Going to be connecting this to my Berks hfc s and scorpion system. Hopefully it should be here tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The Cobra Y Pipe we offer is a good replacement for the OEM Y Pipe - http://cougarstore.co.uk/index.php?main ... cts_id=112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Stillen has no flexi pipes. Heard that is good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I have one Stillen left in stock, these are great. £250 Buster ordered the Cobra today and should hopefully receive tomorrow so turn around time is good. Drop me a pm if I can help further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one Bob, will be interested to hear how this sounds as I was considering the same setup but tempted to go Decats and XYZ resonator route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Mine sounded Wayyyyyyy different after the XYZ, to the point I still have my oem back box still in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Wasso, you have de-cats fitted at the same time thou. Normally we find there isn't a difference in noise between stock Y pipe and after market Y pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryl Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Surely the flexi bits are there for a reason. If you remove these,does it not put more pressure on the rest of the system,as there will be movement when the engine accelerates and decelerates ,and having no flexi will put pressure on the manifolds. Or am i just chatting sh!t? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Me and Fake Indian had the same exhaust set up, later on he added an aftermarket Ypipe and it made quite a bit of difference to the sound of the two systems side by side. The OEM ypipe is very restrictive compared to aftermarket ones. Daryl, I thought that too but the truth of the matter is more problems occur with Nismo/Ichiba/OEM Ypipes cracking HFC's or Decats than the Stillen, not to mention the short life span of flexis, 2 year max warranty usually. I did read some of the r&d notes on it a while back, can't remember exactly why they chose this way but I think it had something to do with the Angles involved in the design. Theres no getting away with it, Motordyne is the best but it does come at a cost. Bang for buck the Stillen would be next choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
