So before I get all the info about how bad these headers are, I already know this, but they came with the car, are in decent shape and functioning. However the Y Pipe is rusted out and in dire need of replacement. I have searched countless hours for a replacement piece, or one sitting on a speed shop shelf with no luck. I just need to get it fixed...

Does anyone know of a replacement part number, different Y Pipe that would work with these? My local muffler shop quoted me 300 bucks (OUCH) to fab up a non-mandrel bend Y Pipe.

any and all help would be greatly appreciated

Did you find a solution to your header problem? I'm on the same position!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

In the end I bought some Hooker 2460's and half assed fabbe dup a Y Pipe until I get enough to buy the Hooker Y Pipe, Summit has one for the car with 2.5" connectors, see other posts by me for additional info on the route i went

If your y pipe is rusted out on these headers its best to just sell the headers and move on. I have them in my basement now since im about to put a set of SLP's on my car. They really are only a small step up from the stock manifolds to be honest. Just take one look at the collectors and you will understand what i mean. Also the flange where they bolt to the heads is laughably thin. Mine have been off too many times and dont seal worth a damn anymore.

 

a local exhaust shop would make up something in a half hour for way less than a premade part would cost.

 

Read his reply guys. He has already scraped the Edelbrock headers, and Installed Hookers with a home made y pipe.

He also had a local exhuast shop quote him $300.

 

I wasnt replying to the other poster. I was replying to the OP with the same problem.

 

Read it again.

 

^This. Last i checked Golfvette and the original poster are not the same and his question was the one i was responding to.

 

Ok. That is the 'other poster' You said you were not replying to the 'other poster'

The Original poster Stated in the 3rd post that he got new headers.

 

 

I meant original poster...let me rewrite it then...

I wasnt replying to the original poster....but replied to the other poster who followed him. Sometimes my mind goes faster than my fingers can type and i end up with word garbage on forums.

 

If you can't come up with anything else I have a car here that has Edelbrock headers on it.
I could make you up a Y-pipe on this car and send it to you.
Cost wise....$230 + shipping.
