It took me a real long time to figure it out, and i'll admit, I'm sure its even harder looking at a picture, but does anyone here think they can see the mistake my shop guy made? Clue, he couldnt get the driver side cat correct and had to order an extra piece to make it all work. But which mistake led him down that road?

I'll tell you guys tomorrow if he fixes it for free, even though he didnt use the clamps that i gave him, and now its a big mess...

Um, I have no idea, but you shouldn't have the pipes coming together into such a sharp merge like that. It's almost a "T" not even a "Y" You're probably forcing exhaust from one bank right into the other one.

you arent the first to have this done lol. not me, but there was a post like this not too long ago. i crack up when i see that. constructing a premade y-pipe isnt rocket science lol.

Go Grimes! 7 min after i post and you practically have it. So explain this to me, why would Texas-speed make something shaped like a "T" rather than a "Y"? Heres a pic from texas speed of their product properly installed

is it a custom Y pipe that was made real shitty???, a T pipe sounds more accurate

hadkin

iTrader: (3)

no, its a Y pipe. it was installed sideways. the shortest arm should have pointed to the drivers side cat, but instead is pointing to the cat-back...

wow so you are getting it fixed and getting a new exhaust guy right? im only 20 and pieced mine together with no problem. that took you a long time to figure out

lol yeah he welded it in there crooked, the drivers side it connected to where the exhaust should be exiting into the straight pipe. you need to give i a 1/4 turn. lol.

How does it run with it installed like that?

Funny part is that it looks like it fits better like that. Thats the best fitting catted tsp y I have seen so far.

That looks like it'll flow like ****...

It's like jumping back to the dark ages of the thirdgen y-pipe lol... the passenger side T!

It sounds awesome. No rasp, no rattle, not even when i let off the gas. I'm starting to even like the placement, except for the way they feed into the I pipe. You guys think I should just replace that Y piece? or would it be really hard to find the right angles to make that work? I do have MTI racing located 3 miles away, should they just fix it? They are a sponsor here and are the people doing my tune this week or next week...

haha u have a T-pipe!!! never heard of one on an F-body. where can i get one of those??? lol
