Think about getting the Stainless Works offroad y-pipe to make the exhaust flow a little better, but mainly to improve the sound of the car. I really don't have the $$ for headers right now, so I'm thinking this is probably the best option. I've got an OBDI ECM, so I won't even need O2 sims, and we don't have emissions here either. Anybody put one of these on a 96/97 car? Thoughts on fit, and sound quality?

S.J.S.

Personally....I would just save up and get the headers. No use getting a Y-pipe with everything else being stock.

I would say it would be ok IF you are gonna buy shorties to bolt up and or you do a obd1 exhaust system. If you dont its just waisted money. BUt if you do obd 1 exhaust you will need the catback to go with the y pipe intil you got hedders.

Do a search on here for topic. I remember reading threads about fitment issues. Don't recall if it was with cat version or catless version.

I already did a search, there really haven't been a lot of posts on them. There were 1 or 2 that said they had fitment issues, and a couple that said it fit great. Of course, for $199 I really can't go wrong as I could probably get close to that back out of it if I didn't like it.

Well I have one and the first one they sent me didnt fit not even close the holes were they match up wewre out of wack by at least in inch.They said I got the old design set whatever sent them back got the new set this y pipe the holes lined up but was even close to mating up with my hhoker long tubes one side was short by atleast 4 inches damminit son of Bit h well I am not going threw the aggraviton of sending it back I will make it work.I am not trying to bad mouth stainless works just telling it like it is.The only thing that might effect why it doesn't line is I have solid motor mounts could this have caused the ypipe to be that short?The quality and fit and finish are top notch but the only problemo is the fitment maybe I just got the oddball one.

I had heard about problems in general with premade y-pipes for Long Tubes, but I've still got stock manifolds.
