Default Stainless Catted Y ?

Anyone makes one ? I think I heard Kooks will come out with one.

I want a stainless Y pipe since Im getting QTPs and the GMMG exaust... I kinda want the whole thing to be stainless...

Do I have any other options ???



And, Which regular Y pipe fits the QTPs the best ?

Stainless Works makes a 2 1/2" stainless catted y-pipe. Fast Toys sells it for $308.99 + $249 for the cats.

Me too! I asked this same question a while back....I'm sure if they mate up but kooks is coming out with stainless Y's soon. And magnaflow is considering making them. Check out the post by 30thta in this section. Awesome piece made up by magnaflow with bullet cats. And the stainless works y pipe is for stock manifolds....although i'm sure they would fab one up for you for the right price.

I just talked with George, not sure which one, from Kooks custom headers. He is working on a stainless 3" y-pipe. You'll have to wait a couple of weeks since they are waiting on some of the manufacturing tooling to come in. Expect to pay somewhere between 100 and 200 more bucks for stainless than the original alumanized.

I'd like to think that for $1,400, the Kooks and QTP's both would come standard with stainless y-pipes.

Reason the QTP Y Pipe is not stainless is because they use the flowmaster y merge. Which is aluminized. And i remember seening on the collector that it had a patent number on it. So its one or the other.

I was really thinking about going with this set up, but for the price of HVMCs now I decided to pass. I have seen the Supermaxx go for as low as 999.99 with everything, even shipped. Awesome price.

I bet you could get an exhaust shop to make a flowmaster style collector. I'd actually like to have one made with dual cutouts, and cats, so I could have true open headers for track days and the cats in the car for emmissions and not have to change it back and forth. I guess if I could get an easy set of 3 bolt flanges to teh cats, and test pipes that would bolt right in I could go for that too... I don't thin kI'd see anything over the LM with cutouts if I could remove the cats. If someone could make that, a stainless Y that had removable cats that were easily replacable with a "test pipe", similar to the old flp design that would be sweet, a couple sets of gaskets and you could swap it quick and easy.

Kooks is going to be making one real soon, not sure on pricing though. TTP anounced their production in the gp section a month back. And magnaflow has the idea on the table but not sure if production will happen.
