Havent seen any answers for my question so here it goes.
My Z is a DE and has Megan racing resonated TP and Y-pipe (HR style) with a JIC exhaust. The problem is that my Y-pipe hangs due to the flex joints and scraps on everything.
Does anyone have a solution besides trading y-pipes?
Thanks

My car is stock height and if I were to go over certain kinds of crests my Y pipe scrapes too. Good thing Im not lowered or else Id be scraping every where. However though I changed it out back to my stock one because I thought it was leaking. My stock one doesnt drag at all like the Megan one. siiigh I do miss the little sound improvement with the HR pipe tho.
They really need to make brakets for their TPs. Since the Y pipe has longer piping from starting from the cat and merges waaay later, this makes the weight of the pipe shift towards the back. And theres no support anywhere from the TPs all the way until to the start of the mid pipe so thats why it sags.
Im thinking though the reason they didnt make brakets on the TP is cuz it would cost more. I mean, at $145 for VQ35 test pipes? no one has that price!! they had to cut corners some where...

Plus, i found the outlet of the Y pipe was larger than the stock midpipe. This is the reason for the hissing noises. I found this out because the flange on the inlet of my midpipe had black soot residue "leaking" out of it. The opening kinda looks "messy" with residue. Dunno how i can explain it better LOL
My girl was following me the other day and supposedly i have the same problem with my HKS High Power haven't been able to check because of the snow but tomorrow ill climb underneath I'm not even lowered
