I guess maybe there are different versions of that early one piece Y-pipe (if that's
what you are talking about).  Mine (Lowrider's) has been on since it had about 90K
miles, in 1996 or so.  It's still there, but with cats that were new in 1999.  Comes
off easy, when necessary.

Only surface rust at the joint...nothing eating holes in anything...the nuts and
springs come off easily....and it does rain here...a lot.

288,062 miles as of yesterday's fill-up (calculating at 23 mpg on the commute).
