Spatt Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 As title.. i bought some HFC running to a Nismo back box (not that i think that matters) and one of my flexible connections has started leaking! Its sounds awful and needs replacing. so, options. can i have my original Y pipe modified and have solid pipes parts put in? do i replace with a standard Y pipe part? .......................I have heard this will simply start leaking again due to high pressure in the Y pipe? Or do i need to upgrade to a solid stainless Y pipe if so what are the advantages of this? thanks in advance, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Matt, we had a Nismo system in last week with a damaged flexi, so we swapped it for a Cobra Y pipe and all was well... Let us know if we can help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacky Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I upgraded my Y-pipe to a cobra unit, from one of the traders on here, after installing my HFCs. Never had a problem with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spatt Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 seems an upgrade could be the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I wouldn't be spending near £300 on a Y pipe just because a flexi has started blowing. It shouldn't cost more than £90 for have a new flexi fitted, or indeed you could have both of them cut out and a solid pipe welded in their place for about the same money, but solving both sides. Some may say that the weld won't be as smooth and therefore lose a HP or 2 or some rubbish, but even a messy weld will be smoother than the flexible steel that was there before hand.

comrade Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Get a local welder to cut it off and weld a new flexi or just a straight pipe in. Got mine done for £20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
