Question Agency Power Y-Pipe discontinued?

I am after a y-pipe for my panny Turbo but seems the Agency Power one is discontinued and I can't seem to get one anywhere. Why did it get discontinued and why did retails just stop selling it or other y -pipes ???

There are threads from Vivid Racing and many customers with one installed but then one day it just stopped.

Where can I get one or similar????

Honestly I'd stay away and just go with a IPD plenum.

Ok....Any reason why? the standard hoses are plastic and restrictive.

i have one bought it about 1.5 years ago, yea it’s out of production but they had an extra one laying around and they sold it to me. Installation is really difficult the couplers are extremely tight fit. But after some dish soap I got in on there runs great. You might want to give them a call they may have one or be able to make one for you! Call AP direct that’s what I did and paid over the phone, then you can pic any color you want to have it powered coated.

they discontinued because there isn’t much of an aftermarket demand for these cars. Fabspeed that makes a one price design and it’s a little cheaper.

I have no experience with any aftermarket Y pipes but I was doing my research a couple months back on which to buy, IPD plenum or agency Y pipe.

I decided to buy the IPD because it was half the price + there were actual dyno results you could look up on it.

Just to be clear, IPD themselves do not produce dyno results for the product. These were 3rd party dyno runs but it was really helpful to see the difference between the stock plenum vs IPD.

Has anyone fabricated piping to go along with an IPD plenum instead of the stock rubber hoses? Seems like a logical upgrade since your unable to do a Y-pipe and plenum.

Not really worth the effort considering these cars do not see really high boost levels.

Where do you typically max out on boost on your tune? I'm seeing 14psi or so lately, oil pressure seems to pin to 5 at high RPMs as well

18psi GIAC. When I said high boost I was talking about 30+psi. I had a modified R35 GT-R and 996TT both with OE piping I just updated the clamps.

Best around and I never blew a hose off any of my cars.
