Joint two pipes at an angle different to 90 Degrees

Hi Guys sorry if I cant get this properly but I have a problem with two pipes at angles different to 90 Degrees.

See below:

I tried different things including removing with a circle, using surface and thicken, using two solids and make a shell.

I did successfully the joint of two 90 degrees pipes but this one is giving me problems.

I will appreciate in advance a recommendation or guidance.

Did you figure this out?  I have to use a combination of Split, delete faces, Extrude(Remove), and so on.  It's annoying.

Possibly, depending on how your extruding, you can extrude the light blue up to the face of the dark blue pipe, then Extrude(remove) the middle, merging with the dark blue pipe.

I'm open for better suggestions though!

What result are you trying to achieve? Right now you have 3 parts. Are you trying to create one part? Do you want a hole where the Y comes together? 

When you extrude things you probably want to use "add" instead of "new", unless this is for a weldment. For the smaller pipe, you probably want to extrude "up to next", or extrude "up to part" if you're making 3 parts. There are a million different ways to build the same thing, but I would be inclined to extrude a solid cylinder for the second pipe "up to next" (or "up to part") and then extrude/remove the hole inside the pipe "up to next", or "up to face" and pick the inside of the larger tube.

Hi guys thanks for your reply. In real world all those elements are separate structures that is why I was trying to use "Extrude/New"to add the tube to the pipe, after that I used Extrude/Remove on the little pipe and it always gave me interference. I anyway solved the problem using SHELL instead and I got it alright.

You could probably also use a boolean to remove the material from the big pipe, and then do a "replace face" to replace the end face of the tube with the face of the pipe.
