Default How does this look to you guys.
This is a y pipe my muffler shop made for me from the I pipe to the tips. I have a Loudmouth Resonator in the I pipe. Reason im asking is because its not loud at all and wondering if this has anything to do with it.

Guys, that's a pipe that's splitting one flow into 2. So it's a reverse y-pipe, flow doesn't really matter when it's single going to duals.
