3" y-pipe with flowmaster collector I have had a 3" y-pipe for awhile now and it just went into a 3" intermediate pipe with a bullet muffler and a turndown.
Just the other day I had a flowmaster collector put on the end of the y-pipe and a 4" bullet muffler and turndown. The sound of the car didnt change very much except at WOT but the power increases were phenominal <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I decided to go this route opposed to the true dual setup just to do something different and I am glad I did.
I cant compare power numbers to a true dual setup but I am definatly pleased with the power the car is making now. I just thought I would share my experiences with everyone.

Re: 3" y-pipe with flowmaster collector Hmmmmm..are you talking about the flowmaster 2 into one merging piece or do you have headers? I've seen that in Jegs catalog but it was to take two 2 1/2" pipes to a single 3". Is that the one?

Re: 3" y-pipe with flowmaster collector I have Grot. longtubes with a custom built 3" y-pipe, and the flowmaster collector that goes from two 3" pipes into one 4" then I got a 4" bullet muffler right on the end of the collector and a mandrel bent 4" turndown right on the end of the bullet. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: 3" y-pipe with flowmaster collector A 4" pipe has almost the same area as 2 3" pipes so it should flow just as good. The flowmaster ypipe set up should make just as much hp as true duals with xpipe. It would make for an interesting dyno test and sound comparison.

Re: 3" y-pipe with flowmaster collector Once the weather clears up I will get some video footage of my car at WOT and rip it for everyone. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
