nismo y-pipe question
hey all,
I was changing my transmission oil yesterday and found out that my nismo y-pipe has some damage.
One of the flex pipes has ripped open from being scratched, and I can see the inside of the pipe.
Does this mean that I have to replace my y-pipe? The steel braiding has been ripped open but I don't see any damage to the inside.
Any help is appreacited.

It really depends
the braided section is the outer barrier tompeotect the flex section. Once the braid is compromised the flex is more susceptible to damage. I just replaced the y pipe on my car (not nismo) for the exact same thing as it developed a nasty exhaust leak
