Default Let see those high flow Y-pipe mergers

I just got my new Vibrant Performance Y-pipe merger (2.5" in/3.5" out) today, WOW!
The merger is a work of art, even the welds!
This will be going on my BBK ORY-pipe along with a S.S. Moroso spiral flow muffler(3.5" in/out) along with a length of S.S. 3.5" mandrel bent tubing. I'll post more photos once I get everything in and installed.
So now, lets see what you got!

Who did you by the vibrant merge from? I see they don't sell directly to the public.

Wow! Looks WAY prettier than the Flowmaster merge...
I assume the efficiency would have to be comparable if not identical.
The FM may be easier to weld up because of the offset and space between the inlets.
But the Vibrant looks more compact and may have more clearance through an aftermarket torque arm.
I'm not a big fan of the 2.5 inlets. Do they have a 3x3.5 or 3x4"?
Beautiful peice!

I always thought the FM merge was ugly, and never an option due to lack of a stainless steel version...

Can't wait to see the finished setup! You're gonna love the spiral flow. Mine's been in for about a week and a half now, almost the exact same setup.

Steve Gunn,Yes they do have 3" inlets with 3.5", and 4" outlets. I just feel that the 3" outlet on my current Y-merger is more of a restriction than the 2.5" inlets, and the 2.5" pipes tuck up closer to the body so I can enjoy my low ride height while maintaining good ground clearance.
