Y pipe exhaust leak
I have this bad exhaust leak in Y pipe converter. Where can I find this part much cheap enough or even a part out.
Most places told me to get brand new one to replace old one. The part itself cost little over $550. I want to get it used or somehow cheaper than $550.

I'm assuming the leak is somewhere inside the heatshield cover. A fix for me was to take 4 hose clamps, 2 on each side and clamp down the heatshield around the Y pipe. Worked perfectly.

It is inside the heat shield cover but I live in snow belt and spend good amount of driving to Mass (a lot of salt used on roads compared to CT). Honestly, Its easier to replace whole piece for me.

Might work, but I am thinking of finding a shop and do a custom pipe that is made how I want it to be.

If you want the pipe between the cats and the pipe is just before the split to the middle mufflers.
Remember Resonator is the technical term for the laymans term "muffler"
Resonator = Muffler
