y pipe bent?
i have had an exhaust leak. put an exhaust on my truck, guy said he replaced the manifold gaskets i believe it was. couple days later it was back.
went to chevy dealer, they said y pipe was bent and wouldnt line up correctly. is this possible? any other possible culprits? how much to replace a y pipe? any advantages to goin aftermarket? |

Re: y pipe bent?
with having a 3 inch drop in the front im sure you bent it on somthing....
the 'y' pipe is really constrictive, go to a muffler shop and have them make you a new one. price depends on your area. how much of an exhaust system did you have put on? cat-back? |

Re: y pipe bent?
i dont know why its bent then... but it is still really constrictive and you want to do more anyways, just have it done.

Re: y pipe bent?
all the shops i went to wanted 350 and more to build me a 2.5 y pipe. our stock y pupe is 1.75. a stock y pipe is also a factory only part. but they run about 200 if you know someone that works at a shop or at the dealership. 200 is my price through the shop i work at

Re: y pipe bent?
