Can you take pictures to show exactly how it isn't lining up?

ok, didnt take a picture cause it totally pissed me off, but where the 2 parts of the Y pipe meet up with the intercooler, it sets them up so far apart that the silicone coupler they give with it cant fit, cause its the Y is staggard, and you would need like an S hose to make it fit

clearly you dont understand whatsoever b/c that is not at all what im talking about.

i agree wit you $90 is alot to pay when you can do it for ZERO...

chances are the stock Y is not "bendable" anyway b/c of how old it is and the heat hardening it....


people really should read my stuff for help w/ this... :roll:

So I got my y-pipe. Yes, the y pipe pieces do not meet up perfectly, but I just used a bit of elbow grease and man muscle and everything worked perfectly.

I'll take pics to show how they do not meet perfectly.
