Default cross over....?

ive had a little too much to drink tonight, so if evorything is not spelled rite its because of that......

im wanting a dual setup but i dont have the money to spend on new duals, all i have is around 150-200$. i was wondering if their are any cross overs that are at the same angle as a tsp ORY. i was thinking about cutting the catback and merge off and putting an x-pipe in place of it, still useing the front part of the y-pipe. has anyone done this? what cross overs will fit? thanks!

I don't think you'd be doing it wrong by utilizing pipe you already have in the y-pipe. I plan on doing the same thing by using the summit racing xpipe kit and cutting my existing ypipe to make it fit. Be warned it'll take some fabbing to make it fit right so unless you have a welder it won't save you any money doing it this way, but when finished it will be no worse than the pre made duals that sponsors sell.

What are emissions tests? Guess that's the only good thing about living in KS.
It all depends on where you live and what kind of emission tests you have.

nah, you have to have pipes exiting the rear of the car and you have to have cats, otherwise duals are fine
