Re: V-10 Y-pipe

Thanks V10 man, but there are two problems with that part.

1. It is a generic part (16" long), not designed for the V10, thus would require additional pipe/joints welds or clamps. A real PIA in that space. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

2. It's fabbed from aluminized steel, not stainless.

I've seen quotes of $250-$350 for a custom stainless y-pipe locally. On the other hand, I can buy a Borla bolt-on header/y-pipe combo for about $700. Now: how to rationalize/justify it to the purchasing department. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Any suggestions on the best place to buy these? The going rate seems to be @ $720 at the places I've checked.
