Today i Finally got my Y pipe replaced
Didnt take any pics being its not really worth mentioning..lol Its a huge deal to me tho, about six years ago i had to get my oldest daughter from Alabama. Had my dream car, an 85 Jaguar XJ6.. Sold it for scrap metal just to get the gas money to get up there and get her... I had just gotten my truck back then, pretty low static drop.. I got on I-20 in Atlanta, made it about 160 miles west and the interstate was under construction near whatever Nascar track is there. Heard a loud *** thump, scrape sound.. Exhaust got a lil louder.. Figured a chunk of the busted up concrete snagged a lil hole in the exhaust.. Got all the way to the exit i needed.. Turned off the ramp, and when i went to pull onto the highway the truck just reved. Wasnt going anywhere.. Got out and checked under the truck. The Y pipe was twisted backwards and had busted long ways in half from drivers down pipe all the way over to passenger side.. Even better, the trans pan had the corner busted wide open. Had to beat the exhaust back forwards with a hammer from a gas station.. Had to buy a jack, pan gasket and fluid.. Got lucky and found a semi repair shop that had its back door open and an old man was there just to get some tools hed left there.. Guy was kind enough to braze the hole in the tranny pan.. On a Sunday evening. lol.. I replaced the trans pan a few months later.. Never could find a Y pipe anywhere here. Till about a month ago in a pic n pull
So yeah, im beyond happy finally getting to replace it!
