American Racing Headers does a great exhaust from headers all the way back and so does Kooks. Both are in NY. Do it once and go stainless

In my opinion, Kooks and American racing have the best Y pipe that is not custom made.

I just wish LG finally came out with their F-Body headers!

Here's a pic of my ARH's y pipe. I modified it to be an x-pipe though.

Yes, I know it's backwards The flattened side goes under the drivers side.

Looks like a Kooks copy to me....


Oh yeah, the guy from ARH used to work for Kooks....

If that's the same catted y pipe I bought from tsp, then you should be all over that deal.. The tsp y pipe uses magnaflow high flow cats and it fits great on my hooker longtube headers..

it sounds very good, it cuts down on the raspyness of a ory.

In NY you will like that you went with the cats, as the cops are asshats.

I think you made a good choice!

...I have Corsa exhaust, but you can at least get the idea.

See the link to my dyno video in my signature..
