Default 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.

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" />
