Default merge pipe

this is for a DIY, single mpt70, 6-8psi max. Can I use a 3" pipe from the passenger header into the t4 flange, and then "y" into that from my driver side crossover?

you can, but you will get better performance from merging them both together equally, the drivers side crossover pipe will introduce some turbulance your way. 3" may be overkill though for your setup. Most people get away with 2.5"
