Is there a Bolt-On Off Road Y-Pipe available? (no cats) (1 Viewer)

[98 SNAKE EATER]

Some years back, my OEM muffler rotted away and I replaced the entire system with a complete Bosal setup from the manifold back.....

A few weeks ago, I noticed the Y-Pipe seals were leaking, then one day she lost power temporarily on the highway.

Turns out the secondary cat melted, so I gutted it and re-installed everything with OEM seals

Got a nice little boost in power, but about a week later, I noticed the Y-Pipe seals had started leaking again

Pulled it apart again and decided to gut the primary cat as well since it was a bit on the filthy side

Put everything back together using new Bosal seals


Since then, she's been running with more power than ever and best of all, no MIL codes


I figured the clogged up cats were the cause of the Y-Pipe seals blowing out, but late last night I noticed it started leaking again and it progressively got louder

Now I'm guessing it's just due to Bosal's misaligned mating surface

Anyhoo, my rig is registered in FL where there aren't any emissions, so I don't really need a cat, but I'd like to replace the Y-pipe with something that has a proper seal that won't start leaking after a couple of weeks

Does anyone make a Bolt-On Off Road Y-Pipe?

I know that you can get the Y-pipe OEM for about $350. AFAIC its not bolt on but rather weld on but I could be wrong.

I need sumthin that will bolt up to the secondary Bosal cat

Why not have a straight pipe welded in since emissions aren't a concern?

Both cats are already gutted, so it's already free flowing

My only issue is that it's leaking at the flanges where it bolts up to the manifold

I wish they had stacked aluminum gaskets instead of the stupid donuts


I've used and re-used SAG for headers and they NEVER leak or blow out

Mine leaks at those stupid donut gaskets as well.

What I don't like is that it's spitting hot exhaust right into the side of the engine block
