07/08 vs 09/14 exhaust question

You've wasted enough effort just corresponding with him. Those parts for sale don't exist in this context.

Yeah, if he said they wanted them, it seems to me the perp would get out his sawzall and flashlight tonight and get a Y-pipe for him!

I agree 100%, and honestly it took me a sec to realize this was a scam with the number of emails that were being sent and the quick replies definitely through me off

They're getting smarter, but also dumber-er. I had one PM me and I wasn't even looking for a part. I was just talking about something in a post with another (legit) TYF member and the scammer twisted it around. It'd be cool, but I don't think we do enough commerce here to have some sort of a "verified trader" or "trader feedback" system short of a dedicated thread. Last I knew, LS1Tech has a trader ratings thing in place.

True true and they come in in droves haha.
It would be nice. LS1Tech is pretty legit, been over there for about 13 years and had decent luck. It's just a bit big, I like TYF it's more personal and I like the humor that goes on here

I pretty much only stop by when searching for or selling stock or performance parts. Tons of engine info, though. But, you're right- we pretty much have everything we need covered right here.

You can also see the differences on Walker's website. The 51578 listed above is the one I'm running with the 5.3 since 2018.

How was the fit/finish for the 51578? I have ~140k on my original y pipe and I think its about time to put it out to pasture, but havent found a great replacement option yet.

Great! The tubing is round and flows better than the original Y-Pipe.

So I finally found an OE y-pipe from an 07/08 Cadillac.

I just want to quadruple check that this will actually fit my 07 Tahoe?

I think the only difference I see besides the diameter of the tubing is the driver's side kicks out, must be to clear the trans.

Any and all info is much appreciated

As always thanks guys


EDIT: I just ordered it after reading through this thread it seems to be the correct one and I am able to return it without issue. So, I'll update this when I get receive it.

Wow- with converters. $$$
What's funny is, today, I picked up a complete exhaust from that flange where it meets the Y pipe to the exit (with nice stainless tip) from an '07 Escalade. It's going on my '08 Tahoe.
