Some opinions on off-road Y-pipes that will bolt on directly to stock exhaust manifolds and intermediate pipe?? (Not the ones for header-equipped cars.) '00-'02 F-body models, please. Who makes the best quality and fitment ORY's? Thanks. WJ. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

a friend ran a hooker y-pipe on his manifolds before we swapped over to a set of Thunder headers this past weekend. quality looked pretty good from the very few times that we put his car up on a lift. was run on a 99 30th TA that it makes a difference and ran into into his borla.

I was fortunate to have a customer purchase a Bassani ORY for the stock manifolds. I say I was fortunate because his 02 WS6 had the Loudmouth on it, and he couldn't take driving it that loud for more than 3 hours before he came back to the shop and offered it to me for a rediculous price if I would swap in his stock Y.

I as well as others are very pleased with how nicely Bassani did the fit and finish on something as simple as a Y pipe. Looks very good, and the connect flanges are over built to fit perfectly to the stock manifolds. Worth the little bit extra imo.

I got over 2 tenths and 2 MPH with just the Y pipe swap. The time in my sig is with the stock manifolds. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Hope this helps.

If you want to keep the stock Y and just get pipes that replace the cats, I'd recommend Mufflex. I used to use them when I had stock manifolds. Great pieces that fit perfect <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Kurt, I think your results speak for themselves. Are you still running the stock manifolds? WJ. <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />
