Default blowing my hooker

ive already blowed my y pipe off on a 150 shot.now i blew the catback off on motor.the car still feels strong but can the hooker be getting stoped up?i tack welded the y pipe i may have to weld the catback on to. how much should a 3in y pipe into a hooker catback(3in) flow?i thought it was one of the best flowing catbacks.is the 150 shot to much?how much would i gain with td?

I doubt there's enough back pressure to blow it off it was properly secured. Check you tailpipe for bananas. I hope that time in your sig isn't on the bottle.

yea the times was with a 150 shot,but i was welding the monster 3.5 clutch to the flywheel.im hoping for a 7.2-7.3 on the next trip maybe the new monster 3 will hold.ill go check the tail pipes for obstructions.
