    Previously you said that you had a gift card and got them for pretty much free? You can clamp the y pipe on like Scotty suggested.

    Gift card is cash value on what you spend it. I could have spent that gift card on anything else or sold it. Sure the money didn't come directly out of my pocket, but it is money still spent. Clamp the $200 parts on? I understand that. A shop can do the work for $150 so what's the point in clamping it. Not really getting much help here so may just go with whatever I personally decide.

    Thanks for trying to help, have a nice day.

    poke dont flip out, not needed.

    if the shop wants 150, id spend 50 more to have all new pipes and res. and also be able to change the mufflers later on myself if i wanted to.

    remember your Y pipe is what 14 years old, im sure its rusted up and getting thin.

    its money well spent really, you get a better over all exhaust system, and the shop get 25 bucks for their welding skills. the rest went into new parts, not the shops pocket.


    in the end its your car, do as you like, pay 2 times to change mufflers if you want, your money, your car. peace im out.

    Selling flowmasters after all the bad things I've seen about them. If you have advice on what brand glasspack and/or mufflers to get feel free to put your info in, it would be appreciated. I'm thinking Borla or Magna. I would be getting new piping either way. Not flipping out, just busy getting ready for work. This is my last post though as I'm literally getting in the car now to leave, have a nice day all.
