Just installed SPD Y pipe!!!! WOW
My shop just put it on. Drove for quite awhile and the fuel econ around town went from 10.5/10.8 up to 12.3/12.4. I am amazed. Less effort on the pedal less often. Even on the hioghway she reacts faster to lighter pushes on the gas pedal..
I recommend this to everyone!!!! Easy to install. My shop did charge me 2 hrs labor. They enjoy bleeding me tho. They also recommended new shocks to me as well. I lokoed at what others recommended and got the Bilsteins. Back to the Y...Impressive and for a total of $90 + $120, I am VERY happy with the results. Next, a 3 chamber flowmaster Series 70 muffler for more flow and little sound. Get the Y!!!! You'll be happy. |
Whats the exact name of the pipe and where can I get it?
|
SPD Performance
Check it out. That is all they do. Tell them I sent you. It really works!!! & no, I dont work for them.... |
I checked them out. Is the aluminized pipe made out of aluminum, or just a lower grade metal? Otherwise I'll just get the 304 stainless.
|
I beileive it is. Thats what i bought. Im just a car salesman not a metallurgist.
|
Aluminized means steel with aluminum inodizing.
I have one like that and it's so far been rust-free. |
too bad they dont offer something for 2005 and newer trucks?????????????
|
Can the aluminized y pipe be MIG welded or does it have to be TIG?
|
Good question. I hope someone chimes in with an answer fr yu. My answer would not be even remotely correct. I just pay and drive.
|
It can be mig welded. I have had a few mufflers put on trucks with aluminized pipe and they were always mig welded.

They don't list one for the E350.:-huh
|
The aluminized pipe will rust. The one on my dads truck has surface rust. Just use a wire brush to knock off some off the rust and give it a coat of header paint.
Don't matter how its welded, MIG is just what exhaust shops prefer because its fast and any monkey can pull a trigger and lay a bead with a MIG. |
Good, I'll get the aluminized one then. Don't really care if it rusts, I'll just high temp paint it, and its under the truck anyway. Thanks ya'll.
|
Has anybody else had this kind of luck with this product or any bad experiences? Sounds like a good upgrade for the money.
|
I just order mine today so I should know in week or two. I got mine form spd performace as well. My muffler shop told me $40 to weld it up.
