Every motor will not require the same exhaust; and some of us would like to keep our dual exhaust; so I think the remainder of the exhaust should be up to the customer. Besides, a Y-pipe (research and development) and shipping will probably add another $350 to the kit price.
Personally I think the fuel should be left to the customer since different motor combinations will want different fuel.

What would you recommend to quite it down a bit? That way in low rpms it sounds like an exhaust only car or around that ballpark.![Chug! Chug! Chug!](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_chug.gif)

honestly people. who on here has bought a set of headers? prob most of u. and guess what unless u paid for an flp or dynatech system (and a couple others) u had to order a y pipe seperately. it was just included with the headers. i dont see whats so hard about going on thunder or speed inc or the likes website and clicking the mouse 3 times to buy a y pipe if u so choose to go that route. this will leave the door open for the guys who choose to run duals still. figure with how proud aps is of their beatiful products and the amount of time and research they put into designing these products. now say theu do make a y pipe and offer if as an option for this kit. im going to bet its $300-$400 plus shipping it to the states. (lets not forget mufflex and qtp get almost 400 for an ORY made in aluminized) now knowing that any y pipe that will fit a hooker header will bolt right up i bet the majority of people are going to go buy the $150 one somewhere else or have one made locally the way u want it. u r making a huge deal out of this and its really not. i think the fact that this company is putting this kind of time into a platform that has been discontinued for 5+ yrs is incredible and they need to be cut a hair more slack than they would on say a c6 or gto system. ive just installed 1 gto kit and will be doing a second shortly and i can promise that when the funds in my bank account allow i will have this system on my ss.
*rant over* keep up the good work guys!

lol at Peter...he is a vendor so he cant really say "get the ***** off my nuts and buy you a ypipe"
I'd like the option of being able to find a hooker ypipe on ebay or used on the boards and not having to pay for it in the kit...i am a cheapskate!!!
Peter, i liked the watercooled part of my incon kit. where will you get/return the water from? I only ask because incon used a place on the ls1/ls6 block....great until i got my lq4 block and it was in a different place and a pain to configure. Just wanted to throw that out there. Can you furnish a ypipe for my ofi kit?

Yup, it took me about 30 seconds to find the Y-pipe on the first sponsor I looked at here in the states. I can have a Hooker Y-pipe on my doorstep in a day for 190 + shipping.
Hey Peter, offer to include one in the kit, painted for 400 and coated for 600. Paypal me the money and I'll drop ship it. We can split the profit.. Or they can buy it themselves...

My biggest gripe is you have this beautiful turbo system, polished stainless steel everywhere, and you're going to throw an ugly *** hooker Y pipe on it....which again, is really ******* ugly....Also for your OFI kit, you don't need a Y pipe, it is a single turbo kit in case you missed that part. You have 1 pipe from the turbo back to the I pipe which to the best of my knowledge is supplied.
The QTP/Mufflex aluminized Y pipe is a piece of junk too. Kooks has a stainless Y, but do I really take a chance on a $300 Y pipe? It'll probably fit, but probably also means my car will either hum and rattle to no end or scrape the floor for every pebble in the way (of course I am being extreme, but you get the point)
I don't understand why the GTO and Vette guys get it and we don't
