RacingLine Header/Y-pipe

[bhs07c]

ah. i see, so if stillen was talking about not only developing headers for the 2.5 but also a y-pipe combo what exactly does that mean? and thank u for ur answer

[Dexion]

In a 4-cylinder engine like the 2.5S has there is whats called a down-pipe. There is only 1 bank of cylinders vs 2 banks of cylinders in the V-6.

Remember there are two headers in a V6 configuration since each side of 3 cylinders has its own exhaust header. After those two headers exhaust travels down two downpipes and join back again together at the Y-pipe before going into the catback.

[bhs07c]

gotcha. thanks a lot man. that makes sense

[RobPaulson]

so... just had my pulley installed day after this ypipe ...



A+ guiz, A+, totally worth the wait, along with my pulley i am pulling WAY harder throughout the gears, lower and higher ends.

[blackteam02]

so ROB, can you guesstimate how many horses you got now with that combo?if not, dyno-dyno-dyno!!!

[RobPaulson]

butt dyno is tellin me the numbers put out by the manufacturers seem pretty legit ... i dont have the money for a dyno lawl, so if u guys wanna see numbers from my setup shoot me some paypal love

what i can say for sure, is if your on the fence for either of these, do them immediately. my old man whipped her around after i brought it through for the july4th weekend, he scared himself with it (and hes driven it before)

[Importroller]

i'll be at the track at the end of the month, and hopefully will be on a dyno by early August. Waiting for the shop to get the rest of the parts installed for the dyno

You were wondering how the Y-pipe would sound with an Artisan catback. I should be receiving my Y-pipe on Thursday. I will probably install it on Friday. I'll let you know how the sound changed.

yeah man, hope to see you there

[mcheddadi]

tomorrow at 6:30PM EST i'm going to the dragstrip.

so we'll see how intake+y-pipe+soft winter tires+ HLSD does

btw, the car sounds soo bad a** now with the y-pipe and get this, NO DRONE incabin and MONSTER sound behind the car, me likey

[Alien_Tracker]

Those rims are sweeet. What make are they? That is exactly what I'm looking for.

I got my Y-pipe today. I was going to install it before I go to work, but no freaking bolts. I'm gonna have to wait until tomorrow, to pick up the hardware that I need. Can anyone tell me what size bolts they used? I'm sort of disappointed with Racingline about this. You would think that they could throw in the necessary hardware when you buy a $287 part from them. Thanks.

got a service engine light today, installed my pipe on friday, umm is there any chance they could be related?

im in the same boat put it on last night went to work today came home and the light was on. did yours turn off? did you do anything to make it go off?

[Alien_Tracker]

Never mind about the hardware. I emailed Racingline and they told me 10mm x 40mm.

[AltiCoupeDriver]

Nice, do you still have a stock cat back? I remember you having the Artisan, now that would be a beast with the y-pipe.

[1125Altima3.5]

That's not great news...anyone else having this problem? Racingline have anything to say about it?

my lights didn't go on. you have to watch out when you install this as the y-pipe connects just next after the readers if you damage those you ill get a light. get it installed properly

One more thing - you can pull the malfunction code without a reader...

That should give an idea whether it was an install or design problem...

.

They are nothing fancy, they are 18X8.5" ADR Cyphers. they are very light. i was able to pick up two wheels in one hand and barely used any energy. I had ADR Fuels on my old car, and I loved those rims.

Found a set of tires today too for $220 installed, so should have them on the car tomorrow.

this way to check the code just isnt working for me. i just happen to have a friend with a 0bd2 scanner. my question is where is the port to plug it into?

[marcelo929]

just ordered my y-pipe.
