Any ideas? Is it worth buying a new Y pipe?

um the headers look like they have seen better days and the y pipe may be a little restrictive but i dont think you would see any major gains maybe 5 more at the wheels

That Y - pipe doesn't look so great, I would get a new one. The headers look fine, they are uncoated right? They look normal if they are uncoated.

I think youd see a gain from a good 3 inch y-pipe.
