Man QTP Y's are hard to come by
 
I've been looking for a QTP y and I was wanting to go used because they are a little pricey new. $335 or something like that. Everyone says that they suck, but oddly enough you never find one in the used section. Maybe people just aren't buying them. I posted up in the wanted section as well. If anyone is trying to get rid of one, let me know, I'll take it.

I would love to but no place down here in southern Illinois will touch my exhaust because I'm not running cats. I've been to like 10 or 15 shops and not one of them will even look at it because of this. I've started going to hole in the wall shops and they tell me the same thing. So, I've just decided to go through with a prefabbed one.

Not to mention it'd probably cost about the same to have one fabbed up.

Yeah, I know... I'd figure that the hillbilly's down here would be all for workin on something without cats, hell, no one else runs them down here! I had one guy tell me that "he didn't feel like going to jail and that he wouldn't even go to jail for his own mother" lol, it made me laugh

ya...i went to siu for school, and i nvr really saw any decent shops, im sure u could come up 2 effingham, or champaign and get it done, its a little bit of a drive, but a good custom y with a good merge would b worth it 2 me

if i hadn't sold the flowmaster merge, id sell mine. but its impossible to get it to fit right, either no clearance or bangin. flow might not be quite as good, but i have a TSP y pipe on my QTP headers and it works good

Did you have to do much with the TSP Y to make it fit?

Phoenix 5.7 Jun 13, 2008 05:11 PM

just had to use a rubber mallet to get it to fit good, but no cutting.

Cool. I kinda wish someone just had a used one that they would want to sell. Do you still have the piping just without the flowmaster merge? I could pick that up myself and just piece the rest together.
