Question TB Bypass & Y-Pipe Hanger Questions.

sry, the search function doesn't seem to be working...

My first question is regarding the TB Bypass; what size vac hose is it, and how long of a hose should i buy?

My 2nd question is in regards to that y-pipe bumpstop hanger one of our sponsers sells; how does that work? My SLP y-pipe hits my floor board and it is getting annoying. My concern is preventing the exhaust from not being able to flex at all; somehting has to give, somewhere. Does anyone use it, is it good to have?

All I did was buy one of these:

And use the existing hose. I just disconnected both ends, stuck that in the middle, and used the existing hose clamps to tighten it. My factory hoses were long enough.

But to answer your question I believe it's 3/8 hose.

The y-pipe bumpstop is mounted in an existing hole that is used for your heatshield. It uses a rubber bumper to allow the y-pipe to move a little without hitting the bottom of the floorboard. The other end attaches around the y-pipe.

Just one. Install it under the driver's seat. I'll see if I can get a pic of mine today.
