Default How much power is this Y-pipe costing me?

I had this Y-pipe made up at an exhaust shop after i put my headers on and my Hooker Y wouldnt fit, its not pretty and i know im probably losing alot of power from it. It is 2" pipe i believe?

I just fixed the oil leak, so its alittle dirty





Car is an LE1 H/C with jethot long tubes, 52mm TB, 30lb injectors, ect ect. It made 360 HP before the 52mm tb, on a base tune thru this Y and full exhaust.

Probably quit a bit. 2" isn't even big enough for a stock car.

I already have a magnaflow catback, im going to install a cutout with the new Y so that should be good enough.
