Thumbs up My exhaust set up

LT Ceramic coated Pacesetters with 3" O/R Y-pipe to stock exhaust (except 40 series Flowmaster muffler)

My question is from the 3" Y-pipe what can I buy to continue the 3" from the y-pipe to the muffler?

(3" y pipe to stock 2.25 pipe kinda restricts it) or is that most people do? Any advice is helpful.

Thanks!

One option is just getting a shop to fab up the i pipe for ya. Sometimes it ends up being cheaper and better fitting anyways. Dont know what your options are for just the i pipe alone though..

Yeah sounds like a plan. Maybe I will just have a shop make me a 3" pipe from y-pipe to muffler.

I had a shop modify the stock I pipe just behind the axle. Cut it, fabbed a Y and ran 3' piping. Have a spintech super prostreet tucked under on both sides. They are pretty small and tuck up under the car.

Why not put a catback on there? You are going to the trouble to put headers on and then want to choke it down with factory pipe and a flowmaster? Or you could run 3'' pipe from the y to a cut out then connect your factory over the axle pipe to it.If it were me I would just do a catback tho
