Broken Y Pipe T1000

[spooled flatlander]

Factory y pipe is cracked. Weld it? Replace it? With what? D and D pipe any tougher? Factory, SLP? I have the extra engine mount and torque stop to be installed but what else can I do to hang on to that big vibrator. The engine mounts seem to be getting a little soft, what to use for replacements. Seems like the pipe and turbo mount are holding most of it together.

Weld it.

replace it, it will crack on the other side of the new weld.. d&d are supposed to be better/ thicker

I believe D & D actually makes a Turbo Y specifically for this reason

here is my crack and snap

I ordered a D+D turbo Y from Shain. Weld the other for a spare

Good Call

If you are running the factory pinched off Y-Pipe Get rid of it.

You are going to free up some good power with something more free flowing, it is good way to get some cheep extra hoursepower.

Get your motor mounted better and that will free up some more power for ya and you will save some money on belts aswell.

what do you mean mount motor better?

The m1000 does not seem to hold that motor straight to well, if you are adding some power you should use a bumpstop and a extra motor mount. Good thing this fourm is here with a lot of smart folks to show us the way.

Yes, I have mount issues as well. The one behind the recoil is out. Ordered the extra mount and the bumpstop from Shain and have them installed (PITA!) Keep using the stock junk mounts?
