Making A Custom Y... Need Some Advice
I am going to be buying parts to make me a custom Y, b/c as all of you know all aftermarket Y Pipes SUCK!!!!!!!!
So i have a website that has SS mandrel bends, i have had some help and been pointed in the right direction on what to do. I have already purchased the Flowmaster 3" X 3.5" merge and will need to get the Flowmaster 3.5" X 3" reducer.
So my question is do i want the Y pipe to be made of 45* bends or 90* bends? Or do i want a combination of both? And the bends are as follows. Steel bends, no leg bends and short leg bends. SO i need help decind what angles and what bends.
And since i am doing an O/R Y should i throw in a bullet (which bullet) muffler to cut down on some rasp?
Here is what my plan is
3" custom O/R Y + GMMG C/B

You can take a U bend and cut it in half then flip it and weld it back together to make an S bend for the passenger side.
The driver side could be done with 2 90's and then a 45 at the header. You could also use all 90's but its cheaper to cut a single U bend in half and it makes like two 90's.

I should prolly put a bullet muffler either on one end of the merge and the other end of the i pipe. or maybe somewher in the i pipe? Which bullet muffler should i get though?

(4) 45* bends
(1) 90* bend

The flowmaster merg is huge. I have the 4" one on my y pipe because I was planning on building a full 4" catback but changed my mind once I started ordering the 4" bends to do it. Stainless bends were expensive
