URD Y Pipe install

Not CARB compliant, so no.

 

just driving the speed limit...lol

 

So this reroutes the cross over exhaust to go under the transmission?

 

URD updated there page on the ypipe if anyone cared. Mine came in yesterday afternoon

 

did you install yet? I'm hoping this will work with my pelfrey skids.

 

I installed it this past Saturday. Here my post on them.

I'm not sure if they will fit. I would take pics and email/call Gadget from URD. I'm only running a TRD skid plate.

Only problem I had was both holes on each flange on the driver and passenger did not fit on the bolts so I had to shave them down a few mm.

 

Was the picture on the site a pretty accurate representation of how yours looks installed? Do you have an auto? Any issues with the rear 02s hitting the trans lines?

 

Yea I have an auto and it was pretty accurate picture minus the 2 exhaust clamps that I'm pretty sure that was suppose to be included. I'd email or call him before purchasing. You need a 2.5"clamp and a 3"in clamp if you need to buy some. No issues with my o2 sensors.

 

about how long is the straight section just before the muffler? i think i got sent a 4runner or fj y-pipe. it has the flange right at the end of the "y" instead of a slip joint.

 

Pictures?? I would assume it's like 2-3 feet??

 

thanks. i found out the one i got is for 2nd gen. urd was very quick at getting back to me and trying to fix the issue.

 

Okay that's good.

I'm wondering what's going on with URD, they have been pretty inconsistent with the third gen taco parts...issues with figment, o2 bungs, hangers, I didn't have my exhaust clamps with my ypipe (they did mail me a pair asap), you got the wrong part.

 

it worked out for good in the end. i couldn't install that week/weekend anyway. plus with the cost of shipping, it was less of a loss for urd to let me buy the 2nd gen one for cheap than to ship it back. tacomas are the state truck here so finding someone who wanted it was no problem.

here's some installed pics

 

Is it a simple unbolt old and bolt up the new pipe? Or did you have to jack up tranny or remove any brackets to install the new pipe?

Take care Bill

 

simple. i didn't have the extra trans xmember braces in because of my skids. those probably have to be removed if you still have them. there's a little roundstock guard around the cat on the divers side that needs to come off too. didn't need to do anything to the trans xmember.

 

We all know that's bullshit. How can you average 26mpgs yet the same calculator says you have a max range of 322?

 

The y-pipe along with some of the other mods I have made has increased the MPG on my truck. On a trip from Florida through Canada and back a few months ago I went almost 4000 miles and checked the gas mileage on each fill up. My worst was 24.7 MPG going through the mountains and my best was a 477 mile leg which only took 16.1 US gallons to fill up. You may do the math.

 

I had better fuel mileage as well with the ypipe until I put on 255/85r16s on....

 

Based on the information within those pics, they basically contradict eachother. So looks like BS to me. It's very easy to trick the onboard computer.

I don't think there is a single person who can honestly say they regularly break 400 miles per tank. To claim 477 and beyond is almost troll worthy. Gas gauge is conveniently not shown.

 

Actually, they do not contradict each other since I did not get gas before the first picture restarted the trip mileage. The trip mileage on the top starts afresh every time the engine is stopped and restarted. I based my mileage totally off my hand calculations of total miles traveled with the gas it took to fill it up using the trip A and B mileage readings with the push button reset. You are welcome to come and visit me in Florida anytime you would like to have a demonstration since I am retired and have plenty of time on my hands. I was a scientist and engineer so I can understand your scepticism.
