Hows do yall set up the y pipe? my whole y pipe leaks and just seeing what the best solution for it is. im using band clamps to join up the headers and those sorta work.

i used some ultra copper rtv and those shitty U clamps that it came with it.. the copper is supposto be good to like 700 degrees farenheight and its not leaking yet... if i were you id just get that rtv and put that **** everywheres and then clamp it.. only costs like 5 bux

Lots of lube and a rubber mallet! I have one of the older y's though. Used dynomax band clamps and split the line. Only used a U-clamp on the rear.

just ordered 2 more band clamps and gonna buy some rtv jizz stuff. hopefully that will get rid of the leakage. the passanger band clamp leaks because of the o2 sensor location

See if you can get clamps that are off/sized 3.25" to 3" since the header is flared. Or just take it to a shop and put ball/socket flanges on it, way better.

my driver side leaks a little with the band clamps, so im going to just get a U clamp and put it on the back side of the band clamp. I'm thinking that will fix it.

the only problem with welding is that you have to cut it back off when your tranny takes a ****..... ask me how I know.

not gonna weld it on, with 250k miles that trans has just about had it.
