I am putting this part # 8FP-14610-10-00 into port yamahas site and am getting a price of about 178$ per side for the y-pipes. According to the older posts I have searched, the new stainless steel pipes should be about 91$ per side.

Am I missing something????
 
I'd call around. I paid that price for mine. I hate when they go up so much in price in such a short while on things. Ticks ya off.
 
I checked on them back in july at port yamaha and kevin gave me a price of 90$ a side.
 
Purchased a set in Toronto, Canada at Dcn $110 per side in late November 2010 - dealer said he was giving me a deal. Maye he was!
 
I just installed a set of the "new style" and I have to say that the little tabs of stainless that were added to keep snow from getting up to the clamps are definately not worth the extra $$. Yamaha basically doubled the price of the pipes when they made the little upgrade. Wish I woulda taken a picture before I put them together for those of you that don't know what the difference is....

Here's the extra money spent on the flanges for price increase.

WoW. What an improvement. (sarcasm) Glad I got mine last year.

Thanks for the pics!
 
Also, check YamahaSportsplaza.com. They have better prices (30% off all parts) than Port by quite a bit. Not sure if they have what you're looking for though
 
Definitely call Kevin at Port Yamaha--great guy, great response, and very helpful answering my questions and my total in November 2010 was $178 shipped.

Good luck! I'll tell you one thing about the install though... I will NEVER go through that work again! 8 hours for the full job...had to use a damn sawzall to get the y-pipes apart...what an engineering miss on Yamaha's part!!
 
Alright, went to Port Yamaha yesterday, got my new y-pipe. I got there last 91$ version of the stainless y-pipe. Saving me quite a few bucks. Apparently Yamaha Engineers think the excess donut wear is due to heat and moisture. That new flange on the new y pipes is suppose to keep snow from entering where the y-pipe and flex pipe meet, therefore reducing the wear on the donuts. People with the new pipe will find out I guess.

Put the pipe on yesterday, it went pretty smooth. My sled is seeing the wear of 12,000 miles though. The rivets supporting the pipe bracket for the two y pipes are ovaled out, and that bracket now does nothing. Also broke a head of a bolt, making things more exciting. Just need to put a few panels on and its all done.
 
You will NOT break the heads off if ya use some heat! Just a small pencil torch will do.
