exhaust leak repair?

[hcgamer88]

I have a 92 MTX sho that has an exhaust leak on the Y-pipe at the seem that connects the cat and the pipe. Is this worth bringing to a shop to reweild it? It seems like a lot of work to take off and weild and put back on just encase the problem isnt fixed. What are your concerns? Really what im asking is if i should just replace it or try to salvage it. Its a performance plus Y-pipe btw.

Thanks, Stephen P.

Remove it yourself and drive it up to a shop, I was charged a case of ice cold water for this service (it was hot out and there was a broken water main so the shop had no water)...LOL.

also at rockauto there are three Y-pipes to choose from i was just wondering your opinions on which one is the best?

1)EASTERN CATALYTIC CONVERTERS Part # 30317 $306.79
2)WALKER Part # 50439 $338.79
3)BOSAL Part # 0794045 $377.79

That performance plus Y is IMO the nicest Y you can get for these cars.
Take it off and have it repaired.

There are other y-pipes if you choose to replace: SHO Source

Call around and ask if someone can "gas weld" your broken exhaust.. It'll last for a few years or so..
