imo it will be harder to change that uppipe with the turbo in,then to just yank it all back out.

but yes its been done

what happened to it?

cracked the lower flex section on the uppipe. y pipe bellows are upgraded 100 psi so they're fine but I think I might have had a small crack in teh lower that I made much worse when I was screwing with my turbo last week.

I'm new to Y pipe stuff...what is the 100 psi upgrade that your referring to?

I have an 06 and replaced the turbo with a powermax. But, I have to go in again and make adjustments to the 4" exhaust....it would probably be wise to upgrade my Y pipe when I'm in there.

i'm referring to the upgraded stainless bellows Matt uses in place of the factory flex sections. they're rated for 100 psi. pm coming your way...

I just got a set of those from Matt and they look great. Tomarrow I will be putting them in and cant wait.

I just replaced my Y pipe last weekend due to a a crack in the flex pipe actually it was separated by 1/4"...

I was able to do it all in 3 1/2 hrs. But I think it would be a big pain to try and take it out without removing the turbo. I can take off the turbo in a hr.

i ended up taking the turbo off. takes me about 30 min to get the turbo out.....but only because I've done it so damn many times LOL
