Default Y pipe question...

Would I get any benefit from changing to a 3" Y-pipe while still having stock manifolds and keeping the cats on? Will it affect the sound or performance at all? Just wondering if it's worth it...

performance doesnt get better at all with what u wana do, but it probably changes sound slightly but not enough to like it..jus swapping ypipes on a otherwise stock exhaust system sounds like jus wait and do headers, y pipe, and catback...do it once, do it right, or dont touch it at all-and spray the life out of it loljk
