I have a set of dynomaxs that look like edelbrock headers, I had to have a custom y-pipe made, cost about a 100

a shop will make a y-pipe for 60-100 bucks.
basically the cost of a new one from edelbrock.

hey this is Jimi @ ACS headers. I called my distributor and Edelbrock does not have a seperate part # for the y-pipe. It comes in a kit with the headers. But when Edbrk opens on monday he is gonna try call in a favor for me and try get just the y-pipe, if you are interested let me know before mon.
Thanks

I ordered my edelbrock replacement -pipe from Summit, and they acually had it in stock. Its only about $70 also. Now, the cross over pipe which connects the drivers side header to the acual y pipe is like $140 or some crazy ****, for a 12" pipe maybe? Dont order that... chances are that 9 out of 10 the cross over pipe isnt damaged.

btw yes im interested in getting a replacement pipe,any idea how much $$ were talking?
also my other question was,is it worth sinking money into these headers? im having them and the y pipe sent out for ceramic coating,having a friend do it. TPI383 he does badass work and backs everything

true, but he was asking if they would be worth puttinh money into. Being that I run pretty strong on them, I think that would help him make up his mind on a lower HP engine.

They are decent, and for the price of the y-pipe it's worth getting them. Actually, the y-pipe design is worse than the header design, so you may just want to get a custom one made.
