That sounds nice! How did the reducers and Y-pipe install go? Also do you get 2 reducers for the $19.99, or is that $19.99 a piece?

Mine are supposed to come wednesday. Hopefully I will be able to make some progress over winter break

Had to make modifications to the Y to make it fit properly. As for the reducers I believe its 2 for $19.99. I got sick and tired of waiting for them so I just went ahead with the install and bent in the edges of the collectors with pliers to make it fit properly to the Y.

Haha, that is a riot. Did you use gum instead of a donut gasket?

What kind of modification did you have to make to the Y-pipe?

Which part did you cut, where it meets the headers, or the I-pipe? any pics with the Y-pipe on the car?

I can't wait to be done with finals and get to putting mine on!

They cut it all over I don't really remember exactly where because they were running back and forth quite a bit... I took it to an exhaust shop because I really did not feel like ******* with it. I'll try and get a few pics of it tomorrow

Thank you! I just double checked and they're there. Saved me about $20. I was about to order some from a sponsor!

I'm shocked they sent o2 extensions as well. They seem like quality pieces.

Does TSP or anyone else make stepped headers that don't cost a **** ton?

Edelbrock is all out of these....I think.
