I shoulda took a pic, but camera is out. But - I have an issue (or maybe not), with the Y-pipe coming from my TES headers. It's real close to the oil pan where it crosses under the frame. I know it's always pretty close even when using the stock pan and exhaust, but since I'm using a Summit pan it's even closer than that.

It's about 1/16th to 1/8th of an inch from the pan. You have to look pretty closely or else you'd think it's actually hitting the pan. And it's not like I can do anything about it - I can't adjust it so it's any further away....

I know the Y-pipe is going to be HOT, and might burn the paint on the outside of the pan a bit in that area, but do you think it'll also heat up the oil inside the pan and cause it to burn and crud up??

Anyone else had an issue like this? And were there any bad effects?

 

I noticed the same with mine.

take a look at this pic

I used header wrap on the pipe,, but mine was not quite as close as you're describing.

 

Im running a Flowtec Y-pipe that is a bit closer to the oil pan, and thus far, I have had no issues for a year. Wrap it in header wrap as stated if you are really worried.

 

Thanks for the replies everyone!

JB22 - I think mine might be a little closer. But....that's a huge Y-pipe you have under yours! What are you running for exhaust??

BadSS and GuitarJunki17 - Yeah, I thought of wrapping that section of pipe, and I probably will. I'll need to drop it down just to wrap it though! Glad to hear that it may not be an issue...

Thanks again!!
