Jba Headers, no y pipe??

[SavageShy]

I just got a screaming deal on some jba headers, but now i cant find a y pipe to go with them. The jba y pipe has been discontinued. What have you guys done about this? I have the ability to weld and do some fabrication, but i really dont wanna have to start from scratch with all those tight bends.

I think i heard somebody say they'd found a close match to the JBA midpipe included with a set of cheap Chinese knock-off JBA's. Might be an avenue to research,see if you can find a set of Chinese long tubes that look similiar to a set of JBA's that include a midpipe. Just a thought.

Why not go xpipe?

Ive seen the chinese ones, however thanks to covid 19 i cant find them in stock anywhere in america. I have considered an x pipe, but i dont like the way they sound on a truck, and mine is just single exhaust anyway so i would have to redo my entire exhaust. If anybody has a jba y pipe, or one of the chinese ones laying around id be more than happy to buy it off of them. I am about ready to just install the headers anyway and try to figure out how to reuse the factory y pipe for now

Do you remember who it was that mentioned the chinese y pipes? Id be curious to know how well they fit in case i can find one somewhere

my whole copy and paste didnt show up but it was found at auto anything

No, that one is for the 3rd gen trucks. Most of the bends are wrong. This is the one for 4th gen trucks. I emailed JBA and it seems they have no intention of making more. Which is strange, i would think theyre totally killing header sales by doing that

Wonder why jba discontinued their Y pipe????

Doesn’t magnaflow do a Y pipe ?

I’ve got a Y on mine but cannot recall who mfg it. Got it for like $30 back in 2011? I’m pretty sure magnaflow made it

Moes Performance has Magnaflow Ypipes of different sizes if these would help.

weird, i put in 2014 and thats the one that came up for them

 

[SavageShy]

I just emailed ARH and asked if theyd sell me just the y pipe. It looks close enough that it would be easy to make it work. My headers came with collector flanges so no biggie there. Thanks for the idea

Matt @ Moes Performance got an ARH y-pipe for my ARH headers.
They are a 2pc setup.......midpipe/y-pipe
I'm thinking the 8-speed difference in p/n will just be the 8 in place of the 6

I ended up ordering this. The ARH piece looks good, but i only payed $400 for coated headers, no way am i spending 600 on a y pipe. I think i can cut and re angle the right side and make this work. I believe this is for kooks headers. I will be sure to post back whether i can make it work or not

For those who are following this, i ended up buying gun stuff on a wild hair, so i am shelving this project for a few weeks. I will update when i install the headers and start making some progress

 

[SavageShy]

Ok guys, finally making some progress. The chinese Y pipe which appears to fit finally came back in stock TODAY. I ordered one along some other exhaust stuff. So far im into it just over $600 for coated headers, and my homedone catback. I will update once i have time to install it all and get you guys some sound clips.

 

[SavageShy]

Update: headers are installed. It was fairly smooth other than having to cut the exhaust pipe off the y pipe, and having to stop and make a welder extension cord so i could weld a nut to the one broken stud. Several were just missing completely. Y pipe will be in tomorrow, and ill let you all know how it works out.
