What?? LO how does that happen? Well if he still has it, refer him to this thread. Maybe he can help one of our fellow G members out
Euro, if you're going to pay 435, you might as well grab MD's XYZ pipe instead for a few bucks more. I wouldn't pay more than 150 for the HR Y pipe used.
Check some junk yards too for wrecked HR Zs...you'd be surprised what's salvageable and how much you'd save this way. I mean the pipe itself can be in mint condition

Putting mine on this weekend. Will let you all know how it turns out. I installed the MD 5/16" spacer last weekend, and wanted to drive with it a week before I put on the y pipe. Also needed some time to figure out which one I wanted to keep for myself

I sold 2 of the 3 I had to members on this board for $110 each shipped. The price included $45 for shipping from Texas to Cali, so I didn't make much but I was glad to help a couple of our brother's out.

Looks like any of the 3 would have worked out OK!!

I don't know about the pipe measurements given here because I measured my stock Y-pipe and it measured 2.25" in the inlets and 2.5" at the outlet. As a matter of fact, I used the stock flanges to make my custom y-pipe and did not have to modify them because I used 2.25" piping for the inlets and 2.5" for the outlets. The only reason why I even made a custom Y-pipe was because the OEM was not mandrel and because it had very tight bends.
All pipes were measured with a very accurate caliper so no mistake was made. Could I have had ANOTHER style y-pipe?

The only measurement that I am certain of is the G37/370Z Y pipe. All of the other measurements I listed were taken from info given by other members, and speculation based on similar Y's.
I actually have a stock DE Y pipe in my garage and an OD tape, which will allow me to get an exact measurement. I'll measure it tommorow so we'll know the specs on it for sure.
Hopefully we can get all of the info for these Y pipes in one spot. Please let me know if you find any other discrepancies in my post.

Could it have been 2.25" OD (outside diameter) inlets, and 2.5" OD outlets - making it around 2" inlets and 2.35" ID (inner diameter) outlets?

With heat shielding aound the pipe it is hard to get an OD, I agree that does give the most acurate measurement though. All of the measurements made so far in this thread, and DaveB's, have been ID at the flange.
