Default What if I went with this.....

I just noticed that QTP sells the nice ORY pipes that will also fit up to the pacesetters. Would this be a nice middle of the road set-up or is all of my missing power going to come from the fact that I'll be missing the HVMC's? I figure at least this way Ill have a y-pipe capable of supporting a lot of power with the nice merge and I'd be willing to bet it wouldn't give up too much over the QTP headers. What do you think?

The power gain is more in the HVMC. Check out texas speed's Y pipe there's alot of good feed back on here for that piece. Might save you some $$ too.

I have seen that piece but it looks like the 2 pipes slam together and that cant be the best for flow. I remember seeing how a lot of people saw nice gains because of the flowmaster collector on the QTP/Mufflex y pipe. Maybe I dreamed it.
