WTB: Offroad Y-Pipe for pacesetter LTs

[Thunder]

yeah, someone lemme know if they have one... Cuz I know that so many people here have LS1s haha....

or someone help find one for cheap. Preferably pacesetter brand. This open header thing is meh.

[Lt4TransAm]

Just buy my whole set up

[Thunder]

i have headers already... and don't wanna spend 350 on a catback

[toom1h]

This open header thing is probably only pissing off the neighbors and blowing out your ear drum. Doesn't bother me though :)

[cole]

do you have the stock catback from your car, thunder?

[Thunder]

not anymore :\

[Lt4TransAm]

$350 is cheap

[Thunder]

for a catback i don't want, it isn't lol

looks like just the y-pipe on ebay goes for 115+shipping.... i'd just take it into dougs mr. muffler and have him make one.

[andrew69_04]

i dont have any right now, i will let ya know if i get one here in the next week or 2.

What kinda catback you lookin for?

[Thunder]

i'd almost just run exhaust straight to the back... its not too loud... maybe some bullet mufflers

can dougs mr muffler do mandrel bends?

don't think theres a mandrel bender in town, you could order your bends and have everything welded up though.

[andrew69_04]

put on purple hornies?

[Z28]

i'm not sure why you want a y-pipe, i have one and i really want an x or even an h and would be willing to trade my Y and catback if interested in some kind of swap.

but miller456 also had one for sale, i can ask if he still has it if interested. he was looking to sell his catback too

you have to go to omaha for mandrel bends

[82355]

You don't need mandrel bends.

Martin

[Lepa]

He never said he needs them, obviously wants them.

[Z28]

you dont need them, they are just worth it, thats all

[Thunder]

You don't need mandrel bends.

Martin

Thanks for letting me know that, but I believe I'll use crushbent piping on a car I DON'T care about haha.

Who has mandrel bent pipe there?

[c0z]

Martin

Really goin to have to agree..... you won't notice a difference. I'm assuming dougs machine doesn't do true mandrel bends, but his 3" bends i've seen look nice, and don't have the crushed ripples. The headache isn't worth the 2hp.

[turbodaytona87]

The Crushed Ripples are found on crush bent pipe. Press bent will neck down the pipe. A 3" 90* bend really does lose a lot of volume, I could take pics of my intake pipe, just to show how much.

[Lepa]

**** with all the mandrel bend hate I should rip all the exhaust off my truck and get it crushed.

[Z28]

i'd say not having a mandrel bend is kind of like having a few small kinks in a hose.

but in an exhaust setup i would say you wouldn't see much of a difference till you start making some big numbers.

[82355]

Most people on this board aren't making enough power to notice the difference between crush bent, and mandrel bent.

Martin

Well, what number would that be?

[turbodaytona87]

Martin

I bet the differences in pipe would show up on my car, not saying its making mad HP, just that the turbo spoolup time would be longer and thus offer less power under the curve.

Fo sho, besides mopars suck, ls1's are the epitome of engine greatness and nothing will ever be as good

[Thunder]

glad you realize that finally

[Coupelx]

:joe:

[95Banshee]

i tried to get doug to put in a test pipe in place of the cat before i had headers and he said no. I have my cat back in the bacment but it is cut up from when i removed it. And muffler has a rattle at idle from a baffle that broke off inside.

[82355]

^ what???

Martin

[turbodaytona87]

oh I've always known, just couldn't face the music. Btw if/when this dumb car gets put back together, I would like to run you.

uh...engrish?

why wouldnt you just have got an offroad y to begin with?

[95Banshee]

No, I have an off road y now. But when my exhaust was stock i was going to have a off road pipe welded in place of the cat.

[c0z]

Well then you must have acted shady, because i've witnessed a many a illegal exhaust systems made by Douglas.
