Nismo exhaust Y-pipe blown...


N15MNO-Daron

Recommended Posts

My Y pipe section on my Nismo exhaust has just blown (air seeping out of the flexi part on left side) and only 5 months old! Making horrible whistling sound.. Has anyone experienced this before??

 

Need a bit of advice about what i shud do? It came from USA..

 

Request a replacement as its under warranty? or request refund and get another make of Y pipe? Any recommendations please?

If you have no joy with the warranty we can supply a new Y section for £130 we have them in stock.

Cheers for the offer Phil..il keep it in mind.

As u know from my last few orders i have been buying only from you in UK, im realising the inconvenience of overseas orders :headhurt:

 

Do u know if the problem im experiencing happens often?

 

 

It's a first to us, we have had one system crack as a result of the Kinetix cats, but no further issues and over 50 exhausts supplied.

As you have mentioned had it been bought from us you would have had a new one tommorow.

umm.. dont usually like to name the seller in case it hurts their reputation (unless they do something bad)

 

Its just an unlucky fault i think.. i do drive my car hard.. but whats the point of sports exhaust system if it cant handle it?

 

ive contacted him in US and requested a replacement.. due to the time diff i assume il get a reply later tonight or tmr ..il keep u updated.

If there's a fault it reflects on the manufacture/design and not Brinster. How he handles your problem on the other hand will be telling. :)

Hi all... got reply from seller and he offered to replace it on warranty asap.

 

Im grateful for the result :)

 

..but its coming from USA..so il have to drive round for abt a week in car that sounds like a lawn mower! hmmm

 

The only other thing im concerned about.. is if it happens again.. i cant keep asking for replacements, anyone know of another make of Y pipe thats an improvement over the nismo one?

unfortunately the problem is not the Y pipe persay...its the Kinetix cats. I can't even tell you how many people here in the US have had a failure with that exact setup. Seems only a few cats/test pipes work out well in the long term with aftermarket Y pipes

 

Is there a long term solution to this? It wud help others on the site who are thinking abt this route..
