Flexi Replacment

[Keyser]

Done a few of these now and have been asked what the best way to do it is - I have no idea

 

 

However here is how I get from here

 

 

 

to here

 

 

 

 

This is not a standard 350z Y pipe but it applies the same to all of them and a 370z and any other zorst come to that.

 

 

First thing is to get some new Flexis of the right size - preferably ones that will go just over or just inside the original pipe but don't go to small or to big a tight fit is what you want

 

 

 

Got mine from a local supplier and they are to tight but the closest thing they had so.........

 

 

OK So the hardest thing about this is making sure the Y pipe is the same length and orientation when you finish as it was when you started,

 

I use a metal sheet and tack weld the two ends on and either mark or weld a stop bar at the single end -

 

 

 

 

then I remove the damaged bits

 

 

 

 

take out one side then tack in it's replacement

 

 

repeat for the other side

 

 

then finish the weld all the way round

 

 

Hope it helps someone

Hopefully that'll help some people out as these things always go.
