Good god that looks terrible.. I would start from scratch, get a Flowmaster Merge and buy the flowtech pipes fro your cutouts from Mike at the ws6 store (vendor)

Its not a matter of appearance. The merge on that pipe could of used some better tlc.

looks good, i see no problem with the exhaust besides he might have a little more rasp part throttle compared to a flowmaster merge, open cutout it wont matter what merge he has. sandblasting will clean it right up!

Well it's good to hear your happy, but once that's on the car I don't think your going to be happy with the merge.

I wasn't going for appearance reason.. that merge is a terrible design.. You're gonna be dissappointed once you hear how raspy it will be.

But to each their own.. good luck with it.. post up some pics once its sandblasted and painted

Yeah no one is trying to be mean to you buddy,just trying to help that merge looks like it will be nothing but rasp,yeah cutouts help but a few more bucks saved could have got ya a decent y pipe,just my opinion though,you could have that pipe gold plated it wouldn't matter,good luck bro have a safe season

They guys are talking about something like this. The flowmaster merge has been proven to provide big tq gains in the midrange, and more hp\tq up top. My Ypipe setup cost me around 200ish. Custom, mandrel bent. Still for 30bucks not a bad deal.

He didn't want to listen

I took a Kooks O/R Y, cut it up and customized it using the flowmaster merge

does anybody have a write up or anything on a flowmaster merge ? I want to put a flowmaster merge on my Kooks Y-pipe mostly because of rasp but what kind of power gains are we talking here ?

justin hover

just break the shitty merge apart and put the flowmaster merge in place...

That is a horrible merge though....hooker headers and a staight up ghetto *** y-pipe..I don't get it...rasp--brrafs--rasps--fppdbumbbumbrapssrasppppp....you'll see

Here is my buddies graph. He went from a crappy ypipe to a custom one with flowmaster merge...tq gains were crazy!
