actually, from dynos I have seen. here is the thing. I good 3" Y, i.e. flowmaster Y merge collector, into a GOOD straight though CB will make the same HP as a X, BUT a X will make more torque all thru the pwr band.

Have the GMMG, in fact it was the first mod I did to my 02 along with subframes, but anyway have been holding off for a long time to get looong tubes and have decided on Kooks. Love the car the way it sounds now, very docile but can be awakened at WOT, but from what I hear Kooks and GMMG is a nice combo, and I need some more power. Decided on the catted Y with the LTs. Anyway from what I've read the Kooks Y is a better fit. Have the cash, but waiting until December or January to have it installed. Really wan't a stainless y too, wonder if the Kooks y is stainless.
