Default Repalcement Y pipe question on Nismo??

Im looking for some advice.
I have a bad flex pipe leak on Nismo Y pipe. Was wondering what Y pipe would be a direct replacement besides the Nismo without much modification if that is an option.
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

It seems like the Motordyne XYZ pipe is the most desirable one.

I believe any Y-pipe will work. If you don't have a lot of money to spend, a stock HR Y-pipe will do the trick.

I was under the impression that the s tune was a oem style exhaust and could be used with an oem y pipe... If thats the case you have a bunch of options... But if your car is lowered and prone to bottoming out this why your flex pipe is broken you might wanna consider getting a stillen y pipe so theirs no flex pipes... However I would probably just get a megan racing one... I have no flex pipes and it caused my h pipe to absorb the shocks and it eventually cracked and needed some welding repairs.

^^^This.

The stock Nismo Y-Pipe is the SAME as any HR equipped Z so you can replace for the like-for-like unit. Only difference on the Nismo exhaust is the rear muff and everything ahead of that is identical.

If you're looking for performance gains though, SQualz mentions the M'dyne unit, a good choice. Many other Y-Pipes can be found here:

All should work with the back half of your exhaust system as replacement for your broken-jointed one but more gains can be had by utilizing the matching full exhaust.
