Default 86 Y-pipe

I will be installing a new exhaust system, Y-pipe, converter and Magnaflow cat back system. My question is I have tried several GM dealers and they say the Y-pipe is discontinued. Has anyone else ran into this problem. I can order the Y-pipe from several corvette parts catalogs that is not a problem. Do you think GM sooner or layer will discontinue parts for the C4? A lot of times I can find orginal parts cheaper from GM dealers.

You can try Chris at Superior Chevrolet or www.gmpartsdirect.com
The second site has outrageous shipping prices though.
For used parts I really like www.vette2vette.com
My local Chevy dealer has obscene prices.

Try the internet and Google "Y" exhaust pipes. You can often find a good product for less $$$.

Yes, GM is discontinuing the C4 parts, GM likes to do this especially as the cars near 10 plus years unless the part is used on a wide range of vehicles.
