I swapped to the SPD Y-pipe and did not hear any flutter or any odd noise from the exhaust. I don`t know what the "flutter" was that they were trying to minimize, but it is not there for me.

I'm going to do the Banks headers on my rig (in 15 years when I have the money) eventually but in the mean time I want to get rid of that damn OEM "Y"-pipe. Is there a special reason to get the kit from 5star and have it welded in or can I just get a muffler shop to fab me one up? Is it a cost thing or a quality thing?
Hey Apoc, I've got a bad horse warming gift for you if you are interested, a set of Borla headers and y-pipe. They have had some cracks and a hole welded/repaired but I am sure a good welder (stainless steel) could take a close look at them and fix any bad welds before you install them. You just have to pay the shipping. PM me with your phone number if you want em. I will try to post some pictures for you later.

I may be interested in the Y pipe if you get that far.

I said "may" only because I didn't know what the deal was. I'll take it! Check your pm.

That would be the best option really if he has the time. I still need to buyu a zerk from him and it would save on shipping to have him toss it in the box and ship them together
