Hey, I took off the crosover pipe, the 2 bolts on the stock y pipe, the 2 lines that go to the y pipe (1 vac and one looks like coolant/oil, i dunno) is there anything else i need to take off to be able to pull it out. Its stuck in the part where the end with the 0 ring on it goes. Any help would be appreciated, i want to be able to drive my baby tomorrow.

 

help me please!!!

 

you should have the moderator transfer this to the 3rd gen section.

i cant answer your question but somebody there probably can.

 

you have to remove the lower pipe that comes from the turbos also. check www.robrobinette.com

 

nm, i got it out without taking it out, im puttin it back in now

 

funny that you said something rxshun, i passed a 7 whose license plate was that

 

I'd say no not really. Maybe a really slight increase in boost response. Some have claimed a little higher boost (which should be more HP) but hp increases are marginal at best. It definately does not hurt anything.

 

10 hp supposedly

 

Good luck dude, the y pipe stuck to install, all I can suggest is to keep on pulling. Taking out the air pump will help with the installation. What's even worst then taking it out is putting it back it.

P.S. I doubt that you will pick up any hp if your old Y-Pipe was not leaking.

 

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I drive by and laugh. Did you get it or do you need me to stop back by.

 

bill, i got it, its all good. i had to get more 0 rings, the other ones were to big and they were gettin cut in half when i tried to put the pipe in. everythings fine, i got a little bit more boost alot faster, so i gotta recalibrate the boost controller, but its fine now. thanks for the replies

 

the all too frequent occurence of boost leak from a worn coupler...replacing it with a gasketed flange...
some have noticed an increase in boost but i hesitate in considering this as fact as i dont know of anyone that has tested this claim..

 

When replacing the Y pipe what else should be replaced along with it as in O rings or anything else that has to do with the Y pipe.

 

there is one o ring, if you dont break it taking the original one out, youve got one spare, i broke 4.....luckily "(rhymes with duck) boys"* had the ones i needed.

*-thanks to bill for this term....

 

and yeah, I hit 1 bar right after i installed it and id never gone over .80 before that, had to turn down the boost a little. Breaking loose in first at 4500 was alot of fun.

 

scrub a dub dub, i ordered mine from mazdaspeed motorsports and brian sent everything i needed with it....o-ring and a few gaskets.

 

scrub a dub dub
lol, alrighty. Do they have the polished Y pipe

 

it had the O-rings, i broke them. Me and rubber circles dont get along whether its in my car or my paintball gun...

 

Rub a dub dub thanks for the grub yay god boo the devil dig in
