Is there an aftermarket YPipe (connecting to cats) that doesn't cost ANY clearance?

Default Is there an aftermarket YPipe (connecting to cats) that doesn't cost ANY clearance?

I'm moving back to a stock manifold/cat setup. I'll take any power I can get from the aftermarket Y and some of their 3" collectors. However, is there one that offers a design that keeps the pipes tucked up?

Thanks!

I'm sure you're aware the factory Y-pipe is severely flattened to maintain good clearance. I'm not familiar with any aftermarket Y that offers the same design. That being the case, any Y-pipe constructed of round (or even oval) tubing will reduce some amount of clearance.

Its the trade off that is necessary when it comes to increasing performance.

you can get oval tubing from spintech transitions from round to oval and everything, just make your own and get your power and ground clearance
