Default New Ypipe with Flowmaster Merge

I just got a new mandrel bent 3" ypipe made with a flowmaster 3" to 3.5" merge. Setup runs through a flowtech dump, with 3" DMH cutout. I'm running stepped headers with 3.5" collectors so I used flowmaster smooth venturi transitions to go back down to 3". Fitment is tight to the floorpan and I have plenty of clearance around my umi tunnel mounted tq arm. No banging or rubbing at all. I'm coming from a edelbrock ypipe with a less than ideal merge. I'm hoping for some big tq down low and in the midrange. I plan to have my results dyno'd at speed inc. I put down 463/399 before through the edelbrock y and dump. Chris1313 has already shown big gains with a setup like this. The price was great, and I highly recommend this guys work. If your interested in where I got it done PM me.
