Default Looking for a y-pipe local

Mid-A,
I am looking to add some tone to my Z. Currently I have a Helix exhaust and the sound just does not do it for me. I am wondering if anyone has a aftermarket y-pipe that they are trying to get rid of or sell. Let me know. If you have pics please post them.

Thanks

Sorry bro, mine is not for sale, however I recomend the Stillen Y....combined with the HF Cats mines sounds great, however I am running the OEM muffler. I only hear mine when on it...I do too much highway for the loud stuff. Check with Function Tuned.

Intense Power y-pipes are like $200-250 IIRC, most anything is better than stock. If I was NA and could do it again, Id run the JIC Y and Nismo rear section

I have the Helix too, and went with the ebay y-pipe for like $60 shipped. I'm a cheap bastard and need money for other stuff. It matched the exhaust perfectly and the welds were good. I have test pipes coming soon from Gruppe S, should be interesting.

+1 I think I may go with this Y-pipe as well, if it completely disintegrates in 4 months I can still buy two more and it will be less than most others on the market. It takes longer to jack up the car than it does to install a Y-pipe lol.

Intense power Y-pipe group buy??? almost everyone I have talked to in the Mid-A wants a Y-pipe and we all seem to be too lazy to get one (or just flat broke) how can we get the vendors attention and get a few people to all put these on order, $120 shipped is an absurdly low price.

well.. It was not rust that did my Ypipe in.. its the low speed bumps at my work.. I knew that going over them .. so I took it REAALY slow... but it looks like I wore a minor hole in the Flex section of the Y-pipe.

Here is an old image, from when I had them put on..



Note that they hang down a bit (There is a little bit of an angle to the pipe).

I need a Y-Pipe that does not have any angle at all... is flat.. is the Intense Y-pipe flat like the stock y-pipe?

I will buy an Intense y-pipe if we can get the group buy going.
Any Dyno results on this pipe? (Not that it really matters)
Sound clips? (All I really want is some more tone to my quiet exhaust)

If not I am going to get the Stillen Y-pipe. Anyone for a group buy on this one? Stillen website charges $255.82 plus $19.06 to ship while Intense charges $249 plus $48 to ship. So Stillen website total price is better by $22.12.

Group Buy List for Intense Y-Pipe (Price: ???)
1. Hot Cu (pending sound clip and any other pipe info other than what is listed on i-m-racing.com website)

I would like to get this pipe and install it before the Shenendoah Cruise so that I can break it in so let's try to get the move on this group buy for the Mid-A!

Default Test pipes?

Would love to hear your Helix with the ebay special y-pipe sometime if you had the chance.

What test pipes are you going with, Helix also?

I would get test pipes but I am sketchy about emission tests and the extremely loud sound (hint hint Mike but I haven't heard it yet)
