# Bosal y-pipe info ... warning

Posted by Joel G ('92 SE (ex-bossal and warpspeed convert as of today)) on September 25, 2003 at 00:51:58: In Reply to: That Bosal y-pipe is just a stock type replacement....I believe Nopi sells it....nm posted by James on September 24, 2003 at 17:18:14: I had the y-pipe replaced with a Bosal when I bought the car used in the fall of '97 and it was like $285 on the bill from the local garage I use. It lasted about 5 years and 30k miles (car sat outside in NE weather in NJ and upstate NY) ... oem quality crapola. Only good thing I can say is that unlike the original, it is similar to other aftermarket pipes that don't wind around and rob power. On the bad side the quality is rust-grade and it had a bees in the can or more like a whistle at certain low rpms. It was totally rusted through on both ends of the wire mesh section. Today I had a warpspeed performance y-pipe installed and haven't really gotten to try it out. Basically it seems like it has a nice low rumble to it for the exhaust note, but not much noisier then the oem or bosal. Power is about the same, but again need time to reset the ecu and see how it goes. Replys:
