Will the Capristo Center Y-Pipe fit my R35 Nissan GT-R?

Yes. The Capristo Center Y-Pipe with secondary race pipes fits the R35 Nissan GT-R and its 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6. It fits the OEM exhaust or a Capristo system and bolts to the factory mounting points, so no cutting or custom fabrication is required.

What does this Y-pipe do, and what does it replace?

It replaces the heavy, restrictive factory center silencer with a straight-through Y-pipe and a pair of free-flowing secondary race pipes. That cuts back pressure through the middle of the exhaust, which frees throttle response, drops weight, and gives the GT-R a harder, more aggressive tone than the Factory Equipment.

Will it cause a check engine light?

It can. Because the secondary race pipes flow freely, the factory oxygen sensors may read differently and a check engine light can appear. A supporting tune or O2 sensor extensions resolve it. Capristo recommends this part for off-road and competition use, where that free-flowing design is the point.

What is the Capristo Center Y-Pipe made from?

It is built from T309 (1.4828) grade stainless steel, chosen for its heat resistance and acoustic character, and hand-polished to a mirror finish. The tubing is mandrel bent and the assembly is hand-welded in Germany. T309 is rated to withstand sustained exhaust-gas temperatures beyond 600 degrees Celsius.

Does it add horsepower, and how does it sound?

Capristo does not publish specific horsepower figures for this mid-pipe, and gains depend on the rest of the exhaust and any tuning. The reduced restriction can sharpen throttle response, but the clearest change is the sound: a deeper, more aggressive twin-turbo note under load.

Is the Capristo Center Y-Pipe street legal?

No. It is recommended for off-road and competition use only. It is not CARB approved and is not legal for sale or use on pollution-controlled vehicles in California or other CARB states, and no EPA anti-tampering determination has been made. Check your local regulations before any road use.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
