Y pipes?

I was wondering if any companies made just y pipes alone? I know RB makes them. Was looking through a list of stuff and saw that and suddenly wondered this. Also wondering what their prices are usually like.. Seems like $165 is too high. Then again it's for their R&D....



Just wondering because I don't recall ever seeing any other y pipes being sold. Then again I also have a horrible memory.

the rb y pipe is stainless steel too... so you need not worry about rust or corrosion.

Yes, I know that. Was just saying it seemed odd that they were the only ones that were doing it that I'd seen. Other than those guys on ebay I don't recall ever seeing anyone else selling a y pipe.

However it may be more convenient for you to have your local exhaust shop fab one up, considering the price of shipping a large item.

Huh, no info about that walker one on there.


These prices all seem kind of nice. I don't suppose there are any ones that are 3" all the way through? Was thinking that if there was maybe I'd just do a dual exhaust that way rather than buy some $500+ catback....
