Off Road Y Pipe Question

**Honboy1** · 02-15-2007, 09:01 PM

I have a 2000 Camaro SS and have JBA headers with stock cats. I don't want to get rid of my headers, but need to do away with my cats. I have a cam install coming up and need to free the exhaust up alittle more. What off road y pipe that will attach directly to my headers is best?? As you all know JBA headers have the same size flanges as the stock manifolds and should be a direct bolt on. I searched around and colud not find one under $300.00. I would rather blow my money on long tubes for that much. Anyone know where I can find these off road y pipes for less??? Any help will be much appreciated. Again, I really don't want to remove the JBA's, so please don't tell me to go to long tubes. Just need help finding this y pipe!

I just sold one. I found it originally on Ebay. It was made by Bassani but they no longer make it.

I gues I was wrong bassani aparently still makes the ORY. They have a stainless steel that is $345, but they also have an aluminized steel version for $258. Here is the link.

I was told that they are just plugging into your diagnostic port on the newer cars and that's it.

Ok,thanks.I know some of the guys said they got through with lumpy cams and stuff and that all I need to do is get codes deleted but I'd hate to go through the time and trouble of LT's and ory to find they do a visual.I have to go in June.Maybe I'll just wait on engine mods.

I know in cleveland the when you get eChecked the test is good for a year. Check with your local place. Get tested now then do the mods. Here too all they do is check the Gas cap and plug you to to the computer to check codes.

Here we are good for two years.The month you are due in goes by thr letter of your last name.I'm in June and don't believe I can go in 4 months early but I'll look into it.

**Killer_bluebird** · 02-20-2007, 07:07 PM

What I meant is that you can take the test up to a year in advance of the renewal time. Then once you get your tags you dont have to re-test for 2. Although I keep hearing that in Ohio the emissions test (eCheck) system is going away all together.

**edbird** · 02-21-2007, 04:27 AM

A year,wow,thats some advanced time.We get a notice in the mail with our renewl papers.But I do know you can drive ANY car through to see if it passes(such as a used car) but it doesent count for anything!
