Default FLP y-pipe and flowmaster collector...possible?

Would I have to have a shop fabricate me a y-pipe or could I use the FLP y-pipe?

You will be able to use the Flowmaster 2.5"->3.0" collector on the FLP y-pipe. Just bring it to a muffler shop and have them cut the old collector off and weld the new one on. Nothing really hard about it.

Justin, time to schedule some dyno time to see what the 3" y-pipe did for you. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Anybody else think that the FLP Y-pipe looks like it has a merge collector?

The FLP Y pipe is junk and they know it. Look at the picture with the FlowMaster, that's exactly what I did to mine. Can't say for sure if it made any difference in HP's but I know it's less restrictive and it makes sense.

The y-pipe is custom made but a competent muffler shop should be able to do it for you. The fit is excellent, just like my 2.5" FLP y-pipe was.

The problem with the FLP's not fitting is the angle of the header collector on the driver side.
Jsears8, thanks for the picture! That is exactly what I'm going to have to do...flowmaster collector AND custom y-pipe!
