Default New type of Y-pipe??

i have a question, go figure. I am really worried about my car not being what i want. Now I have a question. Has anyone ever dynoed a car with no cat back. With just a y-pipe it should have some backpressure so it won't have to low of an escape gas velocity. Also it should be far enough back to not disrupt the 02 sensors. So has anyone ever had any experience with this. I have designed a way for the gas to flow straight out the back of the y-pipe. There will be nothing but the y-pipe so it will be loud.

No extra power. I ran with just the y pipe before i got my loudmouth. No power gain at all. Wasnt all that loud. Just was under the car. Go with an offroad y and a good catback.
