- Finally replaced that worn out Y Pipe on my 350Z.
Decided to upgrade and went with the SPELAB pipe. Lost 4 LBS in the process. Hopefully picked up a little HP now that the Z can breathe a little better. Sounds better as well.
Even though my Z never sees rain or snow, it has been driven 150,000+ miles and it shows on the underside. Had to cut the old pipe off and use some welding skills to get everything back together.
More videos to come of the Z and our other fun cars around the house.
While I had the Z up on the QuickJack I also decided to replace that banged up engine tray.

Enjoy.

I am trying to figure out how the front pipe flange was welded. Did the welds only happen in the mounting holes or around the entire flanges?
Welding was primarily through the mounting holes on this one. Essentially he just built new bolts via welding.
@@gottafixit Thanks for clarifying. I would like to drill out the old bolts, but there isn't enough space to attack the culprit on one side. I know there is a flange fix device that holds the two pieces together and I was considering that. I have had exhaust leaks at the junction because the flanges are not mating well. A gasket is supposed to be between both flanges. This is a project for another day when the weather is better.
@@lorettacaputo6997 Yes. We used the gasket between the flange and welded it all together. Those adapters can work wonders sometimes as well. Good luck!
