Default So what brand ypipe fits the aps f body system?

I got till spring but would like to know what ypipes will fit .I would likely prefer to go stainless steel since rest of system is.I have b and b already and electric cutout so not going true duals at this time maybe in the future.

Seen quite a few systems get sold but haven't seen more than a couple of installs posted here. Must be some of you lurkers out there or maybe most of you are also waiting till next spring to install your kit.

Correct, The twin turbo system was designed around connecting up the long tube hooker header outlet position..........the Hooker Y pipe should be a straight bolt on to the APS down pipes.

You folks at APS make some really nice kits. Why not finish the TT f-body kit with a y-pipe that matches the quality, fit and finish of the rest of the kit. I'll bet APS could make a really nice y-pipe that fits exeptionally well with a nice merge, (like the American Racing Header's Merge) instead of recommending a y-pipe from another manufacturer. I realize that by not including one APS is able to keep the price down but why not complete the kit, at least have an option for those who would be interested? I can't see another 9ft of stainless tubing, a few TIG welds, and a bit of fabrication work on the merge section costing APS that much. I can almost say, with all certaintly, that most of the y-pipes designed for the hooker header orientation are some of the worst flowing designs available, as seen with my Jet-Hot y that needed the left/right junction to be cut open and cleaned up. I will however, commend APS on the design aspect of the kit which, from what I've read, allows people with existing aftermarket y-pipes the option of using what they already own as well as those with the standard and most popular k-member manufactured by BMR to be able to keep theirs. I believe that was a very wise and service related move on APS's part. From what I recall, the hooker longtubes are pretty much the standard for most of the aftermarket longtubes. If APS did make a y-pipe with some adjustability, they might be able to sell some more to get the quantity up and the price down.

I have a Kooks catted Y on my APS F-body kit and it fits.

But it's definately tight with all that's going on.

Pretty much just bolted right up to my APS and connected

to my Corsa cat back.


Actually, thinking about selling it and going with an ORY setup to

free up some more ponies.
