Parts were probably $175~ish (merge, couplers, mandrels). Labor another ~$80...but, I got a 'club discount' since he's a sponsor on another site I frequent - and I was getting some other work done. Did a great job though...

I will 2nd that... That is sweet...

I currentlt have true duals but have been thinking about going back to the Y-pipe for ground clearance. At what kind of power levels will a 3" Y-Pipe support before causing a motor to lose power? I am really considering putting my Corsa Exhaust back on. How is the Kook's y-pipe?

i made the numbers in my sig with the setup above. im sure i could pick up a few ponies with some duals but imo its just not worth it for the packaging concerns (my car is pretty low) and the rediculous noise diff. btw my muffler is an slp dual dual. i had the corsa but it was too loud without any cats-when its had cats it wasnt bad.
