Hi,

I need to replace the y-pipe on my 6-speed 2001 Trans Am WS6.

Does anyone know of a source for a completely stock,OEM-style, y-pipe. It needs to be a direct fit replacement, no modifications to be done.


Thanks.

Look for the SLP y-pipe. I believe it is a direct replacement and it is actually round, not pinched flat and fugly.

Shop around, but here is what it looks like:

I've used the SLP piece on 2000-'02 cars before, it is in fact a direct bolt on with no modifications required (however, at this age, the ball flange bolts on the cat pipes will likely be seized unless it's a very low mileage/fair weather car. Just be prepared for such.)

Hi,

Thanks to everyone for the replies. I looks like the best deal may actually be from SLPonline. It says "free shipping", and the other vendors are all charging quite a bit for shipping.


Thanks again,

I'm not sure why you would want to put a stock y-pipe on the car that is a big time choke point if you plan on keeping the car for a long time I would take the time now to look into a nice after market stainless setup, check out texas speed great guys to deal with, just something to look into sense you have to replace it anyways and going stainless you would not have to worry about it rotting out again

Not really. Gains from any Y-pipe swap alone would be pretty marginal, and the SLP bolt-in version would actually flow better than stock anyway - plus it's stainless (albeit the lower grade 409 stainless). You'd have to move to LT headers to see a significant gain, but perhaps the OP lives in a state where inspections make this more trouble than it's worth? He was pretty specific about wanting no modifications. I'm sure he has his reasons.

Would you say once you go LongTube, the stock Y-pipe holds you back at that point? Just out of curiosity.

The stock Y-pipe will not attach to any LT headers without significant modification, so time and money would have to be spent to make it attach. No reason to ever do that when prefabbed Y-pipes are already available for LT applications, but if someone did then I imagine it would certainly be a restriction at that point.
