Default Here's an exhaust idea..

I have an idea for exhaust.

On my exhaust I currently only have a flowmaster muffler.
I'm thinking of doing TSP headers with an ORY.

The pipe between the ORY and the muffler would be stock, would this cause a problem with holding hp or something?

Thx!

Do a cutout right after the ORY and you won't have any problems. If you leave the catback piping factory diameter with no cutout yes you will hurt power.

Y would you go to the trouble of doing headers and a y-pipe and leaving the factory I-pipe? Seems like a waste of time and money to me!

Yep. Especially when catbacks used can be had for 200 - 250 in the classifieds.

You're already losing power with that junk flowcrapper muffler on there...the 80 series crossflow muffler for our cars is junk! buy a better catback and do the headers, ORY, cutout.
