My GP Moto Y Pipe Blew Up...Suggestions?

I'd like to get a different (better) brand of silicone Y Pipe ASAP (used or new). Any suggestions for brand and vendor? Hit me up if you have a used one. Not really willing to go with GP Moto or other ****ty brands though.

Stock turbo and stock TMIC if it matters.

Thanks. Thinking of going with Rally Sport Direct because their shipping is free and comes in 2 days. But they aren't cheap. Thinking of getting the Samco TMIC kit and radiator hoses (since mine are original and soft), but the total is $273.34. Ouch.

Any less expensive/closer vendors? Samco hoses only come in a 3 piece kit. Any other good brands?

GPMoto and a few other off/eBay-brands are going to be the only other ones I know of.

Went with Rally Sport Direct. Hopefully I didn't overpay too much. As expected, they shipped Monday and arrived today. Install of the Y pipe will be a breeze tonight. Too bad I can't get the 3.5 autocross runs I lost due to the failure back. ...lost to an Evo X by .2 seconds. :/

I wanted to get my order in Sunday night since I had to work Monday. Neither LIC nor FLI had availability and a lower price indicated on their websites.

Damn, too bad that was just listed today. I could check what RSD's return policy is but I'll probably stick with what I have since it's new, in my hands, and not a 2.5 hour drive away. Really looking to avoid another failure and get my car up ASAP. Wish that had been listed Sunday...oh well.

RSD has a pretty good return policy. I'm getting the Y pipe. Thanks for pointing that thread out!

Yeah, I saw and was like," That is too awesome!" So I linked it.

I've been in a similar situation with my STI so I was cheering for you to find a quick solution.
