i just bought the carbon y pipe for my 10 ptt because it looks really nice
it looks like a diy project, has anyone done it diy? how long did it take? and is here any instruction other the thread with only pictures i found using a search?

thanks

 

well it does "look nice" however there is a significant performance boost as well. while you are at it do the plenum and BMC air filter and you will do your car a real favor

to your original queston, I let the professionals do the work on my 100k+ car cause I am just a vascular surgeon, you may have picked up a few more tricks in dental school LOL

good luck great upgrade both cosmetically and performance wise

Tom are you running the plenum and the carbon y-pipe? My understanding was that the carbon y-pipe took the place of the plenum? Henry - I think the answer to your question depends on your ability - if you're handy and patient I'm sure it can be done - if not you're probably better off spending a few bucks to let a pro bang his knuckles.

 

Doesn't the y-pipe connect to the plenum?
I might be wrong but I think the y-pipe still needs a plenum to connect to.

Let me do some research.

 

the y pipe should replace the plenum as well it starts from the throttle body

 

I stand corrected, the y pipe replaces the stock plenum. Their claiming close to 35hp which is what the IPD guys claim for their plenum.

Maybe getting the plenum by itself (half the price) does the same thing?

Any ideas for pros and cons for these 2 mods?

 

I did the IPD plenum so no y pipe for me

 

pm sent henry
max!

 

Here is a link to our install, takes a little maneuvering to line it all up but its definitely a DIY.

Let me know if you have any issues and we can walk you through it over the phone

 

Do you need to tune the car after this? Where can I buy this part mm

 

We offer the Ypipe and a tune is not required. Feel free to contact me for forum pricing

 

Pm me the price when u can. Is it carbon fiber and 3"?

 

PM Sent! this is 3" and carbon fiber, aluminum powdercoated options are available as well

 

curious as to how these compare to the fabspeed pipes. I like the look of the carbon fiber ones but it comes at a price. Fabspeed is 2.75" but the outlet size on the intercooler looks to be quite a bit smaller than 3" so I cant imagine there being much difference in the 2.75" and 3" size.

 

I bought this part long time ago, I've tried to install it recently, at the beginning the stock vacuum tube is not long enough so I bought a vacuum tube, then we found that the stock inlet manifold is too big, we can't get this Y pipe in, so we took off everything in the front, Bumper, intercooler, water tank etc everything! Finally we got it in and then we found the inlet manifold is still too large, there's no space between the manifold and the Y pipe, and the Because of this the Y pipe can't be attached back to the turbo hose....we finally gave up....put everything back on again,

has anyone tried to install this Y pipe on a Panamera Turbo S before? Does it fit well?
