Does anyone have a stock y-pipe for a 4.8 or 5.3 that they would be willing to cut the flanges off of? I'm wanting to have some exhaust work done and may need both flanges and a couple of inches of pipe from each side for the shop to weld to.

I'm hoping that someone has a junk Y-pipe that they have replaced and doesn't mind butchering it.

 

do you want the 3 inch flange or the flanges infront of he cats? I have the 3 inch flange on my y pipe and also a peice of pipe welded to the other side that's about 1.5-2ft long. pm me if your intersted.

 

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. I need the two flanges that bolt to the stock manafolds with a little bit of pipe left on each of them.

 

yeah I think you might have a harder time with that. Since you want pipe from the manifolds and the cats are right behind the flange with 02 sensors in between that.

 

Yea, I know the cats are worth some money, even plugged ones. I know that it's common for them to plug up and was hoping to find someone that had happened to.

I've heard that some junk yards will almost give you the flanges because all they want the pipe for is the scrap value of the converters but I can't find one to cut up.

 

also check some muffler shops, alot of them keep that crap laying around.

 

Yea, I've already checked with a couple. The shop that is going to do the work for me wants to cut them off of my stock Y-pipe. I may let him but it was replaced under warranty about 6 months ago and only has about 3000 miles on it. I would like to have it where I could bolt it back on if I ever have to pass emissions tests.

 

You can buy just flanges from stainless steal works, but there a bit spendy.

 

Ouch, your right!

...and that's with no pipe, just the flange.

Thanks kb
If I can't locate some in a day or so, I guess I'll let him cut mine off.
