Pete87 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) I have seen a lot of people buying the cobra exhaust parts but what are the materials like as I don't want to keep replacing parts? Is the stainless steel used good quality? My only other concern is it still has flexi joints in it which wear through after time when catching it on speed bumps that's why I was looking at the stillen y pipe. Has anyone got or used a stillen y pipe and can give feedback? And thanks for the reply cougar. Edited June 22, 2013 by Pete87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsexr Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) The flexis are there for a reason. Without you will most likely get vibration and the exhaust might crack in places. If you are catching them on speed humps then thats the issue not the flexi.... Just mentioning this as going solid may be a bad idea Edited June 22, 2013 by gsexr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 To date, we haven't had any issues with the Cobra Y pipe, we had a Zed through the workshop on Friday which had a Y we fitted 12 months ago and that was in good shape...

Just mentioning this as going solid may be a bad idea This was what I was worried about as I don't want to put excess strain on my manifolds or my amuse system as if I cracked that I would be devastated. since christmas I have raised the car by 20mm and haven't heard the y pipe hit speed bumps since then.
