4C8 Y pipe question

Post by HuDzTheBiker »

Thinking of getting a Y pipe for my 2007 4c8 and just wondered what peoples experiences are with the different brands, some guy on a facebook group told me the Akrapovic ones are a b1tch to fit? PLus Akra Y costs a fortune.

What have people fit on here? Found this on ebay seems legit and only costs an arm, not an arm and leg!

Private deal mate from another forum member, Akra y pipes usually go for 80 to 120 on ebay they are 180 new so not that much more than the one above , and there titanium , weigh next tae nought lol

I have no idea , the ones in your link look like stainless , which will be fine , just depends on what your lookin for, I have no experience on the mivv or any other just saying that the akra does fit fine and you can get em cheap 2nd hand now :) , im sure the mivv be fine goin by what the lads are saying
