Efini Y-Pipe Install help???ASAP

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.

no

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.

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.

it eliminates..

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.

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.
