red or zed Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Guys, I bought this off Sinbad back in June and have never got round to fitting it, so its basically in the same condition as when I bought it. I dont have any pics to hand, but Sinbad may still have the ones he used.... Its basically a straight swap for the OEM one, but is more free flowing and should in theory give a bit more growl to the zed... I think I paid Chris £40 for it, so if anybody wants it, they can take it off my hands for the same. Cheers Matt Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinbad Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 here you go... If i remember rightly, because of the heat, it did turn it a slight gold colour which shows abit better in the 2nd pic. if you need me to reduce the sizes, just give me a shout..

sinbad Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I cant remember to be honest. i had it on at a similar time to my Kakimoto as i bought it to add to my system. I'm sure it would make a slight difference in noise, what i can remember though, is thats its a fair bit lighter than the oem y-pipe.

red or zed Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 Sorry Mike! I cant comment obviously, but its a lot less restrictive than the OEM pipe- not sure what the two "wound" parts you can see are called, but they are a lot smaller than those on the OEM. I would imagine that it would aid the gas flow slightly and maybe change the tone a little- thats what I was hoping and bought it on the assumption that I didnt exactly have much to lose as I only paid Chris 40quid for it!

sinbad Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 for the asking price its a bargain. You won't lose anything apart from weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xStric9x Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Any idea how much (roughly)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinbad Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Cant remember but a guestimate would be ~ 2-3kgs. If you can get the car on a ramp then its about 10-15minute job. I did mine with a mate in about 20mins, jacked the car up, pushed the old one off with my foot (to bend the fexi-pipe sections), slotted the new one over the bolts, screwed the nuts on and bobs your uncle! 6 Bolts in all. Y-Pipe was made by a comany in the US using 304 grade stainless steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xStric9x Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Anyone ever changed just the y-pipe to a stainless on an oem zorst, if so what were the differences? ie sound, performance. ps. Sorry Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
live2themaxuk Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 The differences. . . . . . makes the car sound like a tractor . . . .and you loose about 50bhp as you dont have enough back pressure. . . . . .you really dont want one. . . . but then you shouldnt listen to me. . .i may be biased hehe no, in all honestly i have heard ppl say that depending on the Y-Pipe, it will be a little louder and may free up a few ponies up top.
