Where did you get your y-pipe? I have a friend here with a cracked y-pipe.

Karl, Innovative Diesel, MPD, and Elite all sell upgraded up-pipes. I plan on going with one of these, don't want to deal with broken up-pipes again. $250 to not have to dig in there is worth it alone.

Well yesterday was a breeze got everything out problem free. Only set back was the y pipe was a pita to get out. At first I started second guessing the mechanic who diagnosed a bad y pipe because there was no soot any where but sure enough there was a tiny little hole that was causing all my problems.

Nice! Those up-pipes can be a huge PITA.
