adding true collector to a jethot y pipe? i think i want to put this Y pipe transition (NOT the X one):
into my jethot Y pipe:
anyone ever do that before? the pass side looks like a piece of cake to do; the drivers side may be a bit more tricky.
reason is because the merge in the jethot y pipe sux @ss!!

I'm running the Hooker version with a flowmaster 3 in 3.5 out collector into a 3.5 cutout and then reducing it to 3 for the catback. Before I was running a bullet muffler and stil had some rasp. With the new setup the car has 0 rasp! Sounds great! I'm very happy with the setup.

John02SS can you send me some pics as well? Thanks
2MCHPWR are you going with the flowmaster or the picture that you posted?
Also what torque arm do you have? I'll be looking forward to the pics this weekend.
thanks

no juice, FYI....i never got pics from john.
i am going with magnaflow "Y transition pipe " that is pictured. its 3" in and 3" out so i don't have to deal with reducers. i have a spohn torque arm that mounts in the stock location (its a relatively new design; most people think of spohn that mounts in the tunnel brace location). it hangs down .5 to 1 inch lower in the front than the stock TA. that is what necessitated this whole change of mine. i had a mufflex y pipe with cats using stock torque arm. but then i switched to spohn TA but it hit my mufflex y pipe right where the cat was (drivers side). so i got the jethot Y pipe because the cats are no where near the TA. and it fit fine. but the transition area is so ugly!
see my website for pics; go to "Modification" page using drop-down menu at top.

did you do track comparison with this idea? did you make a run with the regular jethot y and then modify the y and make a run without adding anything else? please let me know if this made a track difference

i don't know what i was smoking when i made that last post, but i have annoying rasp between 2000-2500 RPM now that i removed the cats. it sounds like a trumpet at full blast. i just ordered a bullet muffler 18 inches to take care of the rasp. i'll see if it works.
