May fix it, may return it, don't know yet.
Can you post a picture of it?

Great, I'm looking forward to see the pic as well. I just ordered a TB converter and will have the Y-pipe off anyway. That makes a great excuse to buy one now

Here, you can see how the dough-nut gasket movable flange has the bevel on the wrong side. Its gotta be flipped around....I can't upload the pic of the whole thing because its too large and the forum wont hold it. PM me with an e-mail address and I'll be happy to forward the rest.

Crap

Actually I was hoping you could take a picture of the whole Y pipe not just the messed up flange.

It's the one from Jegs.


Mine is out of warranty but that was basically my thought too. If I ever get rid of it or Kentucky starts inspecting emissions, I have a stock one that I can bolt on in very little time.

I had also thought about having a cut-out installed in it. I like the sound of my cat back for everyday street driving but it was bent by a shop that did a less than perfect job of bending it. With a cut out, that wouldn't matter. I would have a reasonably quiet exhaust, unless I was at a racetrack (or a show, and just wanted to make noise) .

Is there any chance of needing more back pressure at a drag strip? I understand that it will hurt bottom end torque but I have a TB converter on it's way to me, so it's not like it's going to have to leave at 1600rpm. Any opinions on this?
