3.5" Y-Pipe and 3" Muffler Will a 3.5" Y-Pipe work with a 3" muffler (flowmaster 3-chamber)? Thanks.
Also, if anyone knows, whats the correct name for the weights you put in the back of the car when you need more lbs to keep it down? Thanks again.

Re: 3.5" Y-Pipe and 3" Muffler Yes you can get a reducer but why are you using a 3.5" Y-Pipe? That is typically for big cubes, FI or 7000 rpm motors.
A better design would be the reverse of what you suggested...a 3" Y-Pipe into a 3.5" catback.
Is ballast the word you seek? Adding weight = slower car. Get traction, not weight. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
