any way to repair the steel braided part that goes over the flex part of your y-pipe?

there is no damage to the piping underneath but it looks like crap and i want to replace it.

too much scraping going over speed bumps...i hate those things

 

You can get it fixed for around $50.00 from a muffler shop. They will just put a new steel braided flex tube in place of the ones you have now.

 

i just replaced my stock oem Ypipe with Stillen Ypipe two days ago in my 03 Z.....if your interested in buying my oem Ypipe which is in original condition, please let me know.

 

i appreciate the offer but i have my old stock one too....i have the fuji y pipe

 

i have the same problem with my Fujitsubo Y-pipe... take a speed bump alittle too quick and those flex sections take a beating

 

have you done anything to repair the problem?

i think mine happened the same way. i am lowered so sometimes i scrape and the exhaust is adjusted as high as i can make it. sucks

 

i haven't done anything about it yet... the muffler shop i was at 2 weeks ago said it didn't look like it was leaking or anything, so i didn't touch it yet. i dunno if they know what they're talking about.

sometime this week or next my car is going in to get looked over by a shop who are 350z/G35 specialists, so i'll see what they say about it... it's throwing a CEL and sounds like it's leaking exhaust somewhere, i don't think at the flex joint though

 

one thing to check if you haven't already is the sensors on the cats and headers. i had the same problem with the exhaust leak and it was a loose sensor on my headers.

 

thanks for the tip... as soon as i get it up on the rack that's the first thing i'll have them check

 

WHAT A GREAT IDEA!
