exhaust, vr y piece fit a vs?
ok i have a vr 2 1/2 inch exhaust liying around and want to fit it to my vs but from what i see is that the y piece on the vs is a lot diff from the vr. was wondering if a vr y piece will fit on stock vs ecotec motor/headers or will it hit the auto or sumthing. cheers
vr to vs y peace
no they wont as the vs y peace has two oxygen sensors one on each side and the vr only has one down near the cat
hmm ok i can probly find a way around that by putting 2 oxygen sensors 1 on each side on a vr y picece but what i relly wantta no is if it will bolt up. ( just trying to make it a bit easyer than cuting and welding half of the exhaust like i seem to end up doing with most of my cars iv owned)

The front section is completely different. The Y pipe and cat is one piece on the VS, the cat is in the middle and a bit further back, the flange on the rear of the cat is different. The only thing that will fit is the rear section.
The Y pipe will not bolt up to the ecotec manifolds either, they are different too.
well so much for a vr Y pipe nt going to bolt up on my ecotec vs i still hada feel that it would work so went to the wreckers and got 1 for 10 bux, welded in sum nuts for the oxygen sensors bolted it up and on goes a 2 half inch v8 vn exhaust i had liying around. so y do people have to say that it wont fit????
hmmm i agree some what
Vs eco 3.8, extractors, 2.75" exhaust, roller rockers, cammed, bored out 20, t5 manual, rolling on king springs all way round with monroe gt shocks all way round, every door has a ding but looks can be very deceaving
A lot of people don't have a welder or the know how to put the extra nut in the y piece for the sensor indeed most people couldn't be bothered, did you ask the price for a VS y piece?. When you place a thread up you should ask specifically what you want and the truth of the matter is that a standard VS y piece will not bolt up to a VR without modification. People gave you answers subject the standard piece. Most things will fit most things with Modification! but not everyone can do the mods needed and standard parts make things easier.Originally Posted by holdenman308
well all that i wanted to know was if it would bolt up, like i said in 1 of my replies i can put 2 sensors in it, hmm no didnt ask how much a vs y piece was (as iv got 1) my guss probly 10bux aswel,l picked up a pair of rear lower springs while i was there 4 10bux as well, didnt have tools with me to get the fronts outi like my weckers i go to always cheap

Do you have the standard ecotec manifolds or extractors?
Hi just standard ecotec manifolds i know that the vr manifolds are diffenrt but i think only where they bolt onto the heads it was a bit tight on the drives side brace that goes from the motor to the auto could of dented it a bit and would of fitted but i just took it off dont need both of them lol

Well there you go, was under the impression that the manifold outlets were different.
The exhaust velocity will suffer though as the earlier Y pipe comes together closer to the engine. I wouldn't be surprised if you lose a bit of top end and low end acceleration.
yea probly will lose a bit but hay its not race car and there are speed limts just did it cause iv never owned a car that u cant hear truth sound well relly you couldnt hear anything on a stock vs
