Default custom open header/Y-pipe exhaust

wanted to get the most out of my car with open headers, but have it fairly quiet for the street also. came up with this, its a variation off 383LQ4SS's 'nitrous' exhaust.
headers and exhaust are for sale also

Damn! How long did it take to fabricate that one?

What's happening on the passenger side after the merge into the y? I can't really see in those pics.

both sides are the same. I'm not sure what you mean?

had an exhaust shop do it for me in a day or two.

Looks like that 90 degree turn after each collector kills your flow. I bet w/ those cutouts open it flows awesome! Looks like that's what you were going after though...quiet(er) and not the best flow w/ cutouts closed but loud as **** and great flow w/ open headers.
Edit - just noticed your numbers...you put down some serious power!

ya, that probably does kill the flow a bit. but like you said, I don't really care a little less power on the street is fine with me, I'm sure I'm still well over 500rwhp with the cutouts closed. I get max power at the track
