Sleeper exhaust Is there a Y pipe out there designed to run off the stock exhaust manifolds? Instead of going with headers, I'm thinking about installing a sleeper exhaust system.

Anyone else have a custom setup off the manifolds?

That's weird... I did the search using my make/model.
If I get it custom made, won't an exhaust shop have to bend the pipe, crimping the inside, and reduce air flow?

you cant really care much about airflow if you are going to keep the stock manifolds
just get a good header/ory/catback and do it right or leave it alone. otherwise you are just wasting money IMO

this is what I use and it flows great enough for a wheel to hang. You'll have to scroll down a bit. 5th item. No cut-out on this car

As a side note, is your exhaust catted?

My factory cat is gutted and welded on the end of the y-pipe. Then the TSP bolts on just like a normal system. For a quieter muffler I liked my old moroso spiral pros cat-back that I had made at one time. Mellow until you hammer it.

Still trying to pass visual? Technically you won't with that y-pipe that the other poster linked, that's for pre '96-'97 vehicles. But most smog shop guys are idiots and would only notice that you have a cat (even if it's only one instead of two) and pass you.

I have a '97 T/A and run the Stainless Works ORY and Borla Cat-back. The ORY bolts right up to My stock manifolds. I chose this so I can simply bolt up the catted Y pipe when its time for smog. takes about an hour to make the swap. I run the aluminized steel unit and it cost about $200 from summit. Dont forget a stainless band clamp to mate to the cat-back.
