Default 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.

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

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.
