The above Flowmaster Merge Collector is the crucial component in the QTP Y-pipe design. JEGS part # 389-Y300400. Combine that with some high flow cats and some mandrel bends, and a decent exhaust shop could build you a decent Y-pipe. Once you put in the bungs for the O2 sensors and factor in all the labor, the QTP catted Y may come out cheaper.

Carlos shut your mouth... lol hey man im j/k its rob. Naw man the QTP catted y-, get this over $500, i could get prospect mufflers down in ft. laud to fab me up a ORY for like $250 he said, stainless steel too... but idk if you can mandrel bend stainless steel at 45* bends?
Carlos... im deciding after going back & forth 100 x's, to go with this setup... tell me what you think???
-QTP LT's w/ air fittings.........$800
-Custom ORY Y-pipe..............$250
-Magnaflow catback..............$400
I'll be ordering my headers around june 3-5th, and my y comes next from the shop... gotta set that up to get made.... Catback comes not for awhile... maybe after summer after i've saved up. but thats my plan man

The setup looks good to me. The magnaflow catback flows very well and is a quality piece. Are you gonna have Prospect mate it to the CME?
Good luck!

It is a jigsaw puzzle of the box. It does need lots of tinkering to get it into place correctly, but it does reward you with awesome performance.
