What is a Y Pipe?

sorry guys i know that i sound dumb, but i just came from doing honda motors, and this **** has got me so confused?

also do you just have them if you get Long Tube headers ? <--- another thing i dont really understand how they get installed, and how they connect to the rest of the exhaust

Re: What is a Y Pipe?

you have two headers....one on the left and one on the right....at the back of the car there is only one pipe going to your muffler....the y pipe is shaped like a Y sorta and connects the two sides into one piece

usually they either have bolt together flanges or slip fits i actually wouldnt recomend weldint the y to the headers as it would baisically ruin the headers if you try to get the y off
but welding the y pipe to the i pipe that goes over the axle is recomended but not necessary

If you buy LT's you buy the y-pipe to go with them (sold separately but from the same company.) The y-pipe bolts on to the headers.
