Default Build your own Y-Pipe

Finally got the cam swap, poly mounts, new valve springs and Pacesetter Ceramis LT's done and need to work on the rest of the exhaust. I've decided I'm going to do a catted Y, cutouts, into a magnaflow catback to keep it quiet when it needs to be, and scream what i want it to!

Just wondering if anyone has built their own Y to do this, pics will help a lot!

Thanks in advance!

search is your best friend. if you are going custom you might as well invest in some custom made merge like the flowmaster merge, preferably a wider than 3" like 3.5 or 4 to a 3.5 or 4 cutout reduced to your magnaflow catback, it will eliminate LOTS of rasp, you should have almost zero rasp with your cats. AND suck every single hp\tq out of it while sounding great good luck!
