Year One vs Accurate Exhaust pipe

On some parts there seems to be a pretty big difference in price. Is there a big difference in quality?

Years ago I bought a H pipe for one of my cars from Year One. It fit perfect and is still on the car to this day. That said... I have bought a lot of pipe from Accurate as well. I had a problem with a muffler when it was very young and they told me to send it back but I just welded it up. I've had my share of pipes rust out too but I guess that is the environment they live in.

Interested in your experiences.

Year One takes a part, marks it up 1000% then gives you a coupon for 10% and you think you have a deal.

Bet someone else makes their pipes for them.

OK fair enough...

71 b body tip tail pipes

Accurate 198.00
Year One 91.98 minus 25% (so 68.99 for a pair of tail pipes)

I realize YO doesn't make one single part, still WAY cheaper.

And shipping cost is....? That is where they get you.

And Jegs sells a mandrel bent Flowmaster set of pipes for the cost of YO plus Yo's shipping, free shipping at Jegs.

For the same price I'd rather have mandrel bent.

Or you can get a set of crimp bent ones like YO from the local muffler shop installed for the same price.

TTi will custom bend your exhaust in stainless steel.

It depends on what you are trying to do.

If it has to be more correct than YO is the last place I would go. Not to mention they will kill you on shipping.

Accurate will fit.

TTI - I've installed two of these for other people and they fit like crap.

I just installed a Accurate set in my 70RR. Fit was perfect!

When I was getting ready to start on my exhaust ( about 10 years ago) I stopped at Accurate ( they were about an hour south of me before I moved) to pick up Hemi mufflers....

While I was there they had laid out the entire exhaust system for my car ( 67 RT coronet) on their concrete floor.. Pretty good sales trick... It was so nice and EXACTLY the 67 only system, I loaded it up and took it ALL home..

Saved me a tow to and from the exhaust shop...

10 years later it still works and looks great.....

Good people also.....

Very happy with what I got from Accurate

Tom and his crew are top notch

I bought an exhaust from year one for my 71 rt charger which was made by accurate..

I bought T/A head pipes from YO last year and they had Dales Cuda Shop shipping labels under the YO labels.

If you are running exhaust manifolds Accurate will need to know the casting numbers of your manifolds so that the flange is clocked correctly.
With YO they'll just look at the part # on the box and ship. You then take your chances they've sent you the correct system.

Stick with Mopar people and deal directly with Accurate.

Bought Accurate exhaust and the fit great. Year one is just a supplier.

Year One is a reseller, Accurate is a supplier. Supplier makes it (they may also sell it), reseller only sells it.

I bought a complete set up from Accurate for my 71 Charger and it fits like a glove.
