headers and y- pipe

**smslyguy** · 10-11-2010, 04:12 PM

Has anyone installed long tube headers on there verts? Was woundering if there were any ground clearance issues? and has anyone found a y-pipe that works with the verts?

Headers and y pipes for verts are no different than coupes. As long as you car is not lowered and you should be ok on clearance.

Really? i have factory exhaust right now with short tube headers and slp factory upgraded exhaust and the car hit the drivers side "flat" pipe now at times. It is an ss and bilstein shocks.

I didn't realize you were talking about one particular brand. Don't get SLP most of their stuff is over priced junk. They are the only ones that say their ypipe doesn't fit a vert and that's only an A4 will fit the M6 vert. SLP headers have clearance issues too I hear. Stay clear of them get some pacesetters or if you have extra $$$ get kooks or ARH.

I run pacesetters on my vert along with their off road Y-pipe, everything fits fine. Some people have said they had to remove the extra "X" brace the verts have to clear the Y, but I didn't find that necessary on my car.

What did you pay for your pacesetters and y-pipe? Did they bolt right together? The y-pipe to the headers that is, or did you have to fabricate them?

I bought mine from a local shop, the headers, off road Y, extra band style clamps, and a pair of nicely made 02 extensions with weather packs all for about $500 if I remember right. I paid a little extra for the 02 extensions that were pre-made. Much nicer piece. I think the headers come with wiring but you have to cut and solder, sounded like electrical gremlins later down the road if you ask me.

They are constructed with a slip fit design, the Y is 3 inch piping that matches the header collectors. It all slipped together fine and joined up with the factory SLP exhaust system without any fabbing at all.
