Title says it all :D

www.ls1speed.com

Jon

Hows the fit look?

I need the Y pipe...will it route to my magnaflow exhaust...or will I need custom work done? Is it mandrel bent? Do you have any pics on it, I couldn't find any? Also, is it 3" in and out? I need one ASAP.

JOHN
EDIT: it is for a 97 engine

It will bolt to any catback, it is fully mandrel bent, 3" in/3" out.

this is for the hooker LT's?

this will work with jet hots also right?

Perfect! I love the 15th...pay day. Will be placing my order tomorrow!
JOHN

>What is the price :confused:
They look like the should fit , but do they ? :)

Online, the price is 169.99. I don't exactly know what shipping is, but would be interested in finding out. The pipe looks really good. Is it stainless steel or aluminum? Probably aluminum.

jon
is this the y-pipe you are talking about??

rob

Yeah, that is what is on the website...
93-97 LT1 HOK16765 Hooker LT1 Y-Pipe $169.99
Are there different ones. What is it made out of?

We are talking about the Hooker y-pipe for 169.99 ... $18 about for shipping

The pipe is aluminized

The only other pipe made for these headers is the mufflex .... this is a much better value and fit.

Hey Jon,
Have you guys put this on any cars yet?
The kink on the driver side looks like it would keep the pipe from banging on the floor.
How is the fit and finish?

bought mine the other day from ls1...I'll let you know how the fit, etc. is.

where does this mate to the existing exhaust is ther any cutting or does it mate to the factory pipe

How does this compare to the Mufflex Y-pipe? Will this bolt up perfectly to hooker LTs and the mufflex 4" exhaust? Is this for LT1 or LS1 motors? If it is what I need, I will be ordering ASAP. I need one now.

It does take some work to get it on, its not really 100% bolt on. The mufflex has a little more adjustability.

This y-pipe is for LT1 Hooker headers.

If you were using the 4" catback I would go with the mufflex y-pipe

Plus, I was told by LS1 that they were "slip on" and not "bolt on". So no gaskets or hardware was required. I can't wait to get it in.
JOHN

I live somewhat close to Speed Inc. If I stop by the shop to pick one up, can I still get it for that price?

What kind of "work" was required. I got mine last Saturday and haven't even opened the box yet.:(

The y-pipe fits, but there is no adjustment in it.... some adjustment might be needed with the rest of the exhaust

this price is good at our shop too!

no adjustment huh? a BFH will fix that :) ... my "adjustable" mufflex knows that very well...

this is 3inch correct? is there or will there be a 4inch pipe that you know of?

As far as I know there is no plan for a 4". Only this current 3" pipe

Well my hooker y-pipe doesnt come close to fiting my jethot headers. Its about 2 inches too wide by the collectors on the headers. :mad:

The car we installed this y-pipe on had the jethot headers....

They bolted up to the collectors with no problem? I must have gotten a bad y-pipe then...

Anyone else got there's in yet. Don't wanna drop some money on something that ain't gonna fit!

Mine should be going on this weekend. I'll be severely upset if it doesn't fit. I'll keep ya updated.
JOHN

Just bolted mine on today. I had to cut the two main tubes about 1.5 inches each to move the tubes in closer together to bolt to my jethot long tubs. After that it fit great. I had to get a piece of 3" tubing about 13" long to connect to my borla. After I got it all set up it looks great. I have about 5" of clearence between my collector and the ground. The ypipe stays higher then that all the way back.

Jon_we4,

How does this y-pipe fit with the hooker long tube headers?? Also, is this y-pipe made to fit around the BMR driveshaft safety loop?? I have a 3" mandrel bent ypipe now, but when we made it, we forgot to put the DSL up there at this time. If you would please get back to me I would greatly appreciate it.

Brian

I just did my header install last weekend and the hooker y-pipe is off a few inches. I installed it on Jet Hots and tomarrow i have to have the y-pipe modded to fit the headers. Everything fits fine EXCEPT one of the tubes is off. It does come with a one tube bent down to fit under the little tranny cross member thing. But I got mine for $129.99 with a price match and thats better than paying a crap load for the mufflex.

How much modding to the pipe did you have to do. That seems like a p.i.t.a. I'm still hopping I have no problems bolting this thing up...I mean that's why I bought the thing...to easily fit up to the "hooker headers".

The modding will be done tomarrow, but I think all it will be is alot of pushing and pulling to get it on.

I'll be getting mine within this week from Jet-Hot. I hope it goes well, I'll keep you guys updated.

How do they fit with hooker LT's....anyone?

Hey guys keep us updated with the fit of these. I need a y-pipe pretty soon.

thanks

Are the Jet-Hots that different from Hookers? I would have thought the collectors would exit in the same place.:confused:

They should line up the same. Some are saying the y-pipe fits and some are saying it doesn't. I'm still waiting for mine, hopefully in tomorrow.

From personal experience the y-pipe fits, it takes some pushing and shoving, but it fits fine.

Any installed pics yet?

transam41282 where did you get yours for $129?

Any updates? I am in need of one RIGHT NOW and don't want to tow it all the way(2hrs) to Mufflex for a custom pipe and a $300 bill.

Looking for installed pics myself

Jeff D.

I won't have pics up for awhile now. I'm running open headers and love it :D

can anyone give us and answer as to if this fits or not?

Come on people...how about some feedback, PLEASE?

ok, if you look at the top pic on the right of the long tube headers on this website,,, http://www.jet-hot.com/pages/newheaders.html the end of the headers that connect to the y-pipe, looks like a 3" pipe, that just got cut straight off, then if you look at the pic of the y-pipe
www.ls1speed.com/pictures/1.jpg
www.ls1speed.com/pictures/2.jpg

the part where the y-pipe meets up w/ the header, the y-pipe has like a 3 bolt flange on it, how do you meet the two up?

ya, seriously guys, does the pipe fit or not?

FYI, the pics you're referring to on the Jet-Hot website are of their LS1-style headers, not the LT1 headers. The two inner primaries on LT1 headers are side-by-side where they meet the head flange and are therefore not evenly spaced across the flange. The 93-97 (LT1) Jet-Hot headers come with a 3-bolt flange already welded on them. I know this because I have a set sitting in my garage waiting on installation. :D

Based on the pictures of the LT1 Hooker LT y-pipe and the Jet-Hot LTs sitting in my garage...it should bolt up with minor adjustments. I would buy one and install it just to show this but I'm waiting on Jet-Hot to release their dual-cat y-pipe sometime this fall. :)

ok then, i'm ready to order, how do i get a hold of the jet hot guy? don't we get them for 529 shipped cuz we're members of cz28? also, i went to ls1speed.com and click on exhaust, and didn't see the hooker y-pipe??

OK ONE last time. Go to page 3 and read my 3 posts from TOP to Bottom. The Y-Pipe is great! Work Fine. Fits fine. Sounds fine. Looks fine. Any other thing you wanna know about it, the answer is it works.

So how does it smell?:p :D

Thanks for letting us know what you think but the Mufflex pipe has a few people that say it fits perfectly while A BUNCH of others say that the fit is horrible. With all of the people that have been buying these Iwas hoping to get more than one opinion. Thanks again for your input though.

The Mufflex is 4" compared to the Hooker which is 3" But the Hooker is about $100 cheaper and fits better. The Hooker Y already has a dent in the pipe to clear the tranny crossmember. With the Mufflex, alot of people had to shave down the cross member to make it fit. I say why pay $100 more for something that you have to modify your car to use. I am perfectly happy with the Hooker Y.

Oh and since I have no cats, it stinks. ;)

Who sells it for 129.99???

I am curious also.:confused:

Mines on and fits great.

Summit Racing sells it for $129.99. But they are out of stock. www.ls1speed.com has them for $169.99, but they price match. So price match it to Summit and you get it now for $129.99.

Summit just told me again tonight that the price is $169.95 and that it will be 4 OR MORE weeks until they get anymore to sell. Maybe they realized that there was a demand and boosted the price up.

Just a note for you guys willing to wait for a y-pipe...Jet-Hot is producing a dual-cat y-pipe (with cats that can be swapped with straight pipes in minutes) to fit their Jet-Hot LTs (LT1) and they are targeting a release date sometime in October. Plus, theirs will be Jet-Hot ceramic coated! Just an FYI for those of you whom are looking for a y-pipe setup... :cool:

Yeah, At the begining of the year they said they would have a y-pipe for us LT1 guys by the end of the Summer. Still haven't seen it. :rolleyes: I love thier products but I wouldn't wait for a new one. You may never see it.

Jeff D.

I was going to say the same thing. They aren't the only company to say that an LT1 product is "just around the corner...maybe another month or two". That's qouting Joey @ SLP about long tubes for the LT1. That statement was made about 18 months ago.:rolleyes: I am not waiting for the JetHot version of the y-pipe since, as you noted, they are already well behind the promised date and haven't even offered info concerning a revised release date or even an update for that matter. If they said that it's now going to be late Fall I wouldn't expect it until late Spring at the earliest. :rolleyes:

To each his/her own. I've waited 4 months so far for a dual-cat y-pipe offering from Jet-Hot and I can wait a little longer (gotta save up some more money anyway). Everyone thinks companies should be able to churn this stuff out overnight. Considering the vast market of vehicles that Jet-Hot deals with, and their primary business of offering a coating service, I can understand why their R&D efforts take a little longer than usual. Looking at the quality of my Jet-Hot LTs I have no reason to complain compared to other companies' offerings. No one else offers a complete dual-cat y-pipe setup except FLP and that's too expensive for my wallet - so I'll wait for Jet-Hot. I'll agree though that I'm only willing to wait so long. Since I've only waited 4 months so far, my patient is still fairly intact at this point. :o If it doesn't come by mid-November though I'm going another route. But kudos to them (Jet-Hot) for taking the time to do it right, even if it pushes our patience to the limit. :cool:

hey guys, i order my jet hot longtubes from chris at jethott on thursday , i also ordered a hooker y-pipe through ls1speed.com on thursday, even though the name of this post says so, as of thursdy, ls1speed hadn't recieved any y-pipes from hooker. he said sometime next week, which would be after the 22nd. and, i also talked to him about the 129.99 price match, i don't know who is saying this, but i actually ordered one, they don't price match to 129.99. i paid 169.99,

i have a question. usually when people get a group purchase together dont they get some sort of discount on the product? ls1 speed is selling this pipe for 169 and thats what you guys are buying it for throught a gp? help me figure this out.

This price is not through a group purchase, it's the standard price ($169) for the Hooker unit. That's really cheap compared to the Mufflex y-pipe ($250). I can't imagine a GP would lower the price much more...

That was me that said you could price match, but as of now Summit raised the price to $169. So thats not going to work anymore. And I said it because I got mine for $129.99......should have invested in one about 4 weeks ago. :death:

And they have recieved them , and have had them for awhile now. They might have ran out of them, but they had em at one point in time. I know this cause I got mine from them. ;)

he told me he hasn't had any for 2 months...

If its anything like the LS1 y-pipe I'm going to stay as far away from it as I can. I'm sure the T-collector flows great. :rolleyes:
