Adriank Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hi guys, My nismo Y has finally given up the ghost and is blowing noticably now at the flexi sectioons making one hell of a noise! I wondered if anyone localish to berkshire had a cheap std one i could get quickly to put on, or if any traders had one in stock. Im fitted in at a garage tuesday afternoon to have whatever i csn get hold of fitted, so would need to be able to collect / have it delivered before then. Any help appreciated, thasnsk Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 This happened to my Y pipe. You can get the flex replaced, it cost me £130 though which is as much as a new one i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job I didnt take your one neither! I thought TGM said it was fine having that braiding rubbing off? Is there noticably more gone now? Worried mine may head the same way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriank Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 I thik its just flexing a lot more and getting a lot hotter with the decats on now chris. I burnt my hand on the tailpipe tip at the back of the car when looking at it yesterday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I burnt my hand on the tailpipe tip at the back of the car when looking at it yesterday! Iirc quite a few nismo exhausts have failed on the flexible joint when highflow cats or decats have been used, but seem to be fine with the standard cat.

They do flex too much or something if the decats dont have mounts like the standard cats? Does that make sense? I think the std cats had a mount to brace them and decats dont? Maybe too much flex for the Nismo Y-pipe to take. Just wanted to make sure it wasnt because of the worn braid as thats the same as mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a pain in the bum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Oh well, new Y-pipe for you then matey! You know you wanted one really. Wanna give me yours (for free) so I can see if I can get it mended and stick it on mine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
