Yes a y-pipe will limit your flow somewhat unless you have it pretty much immediatly dumped. It doesnt really make a difference ona stock motor, but on a stroker like yours it does

The dual 3" to single 3" might hurt you if it's done shittyly. Kooks makes a 3" to 4" y, I've got one coming in the mail as we sprechen.
