The Ultimate Catback
The Ultimate Catback How about a single exhaust with mandrel bent 2.5" tubing from the manifolds into a flowmaster style 2.5" 3" out collector to a 3" mandrel pipe over the axle into a 3" in and out straight through muffler like the ultra flow or borla.
This would get rid of the 2.75" collector of the stock y and save some weight over having 2 exhaust tips.

Re: The Ultimate Catback If your running stock manifolds, I suggest ditching the cats and getting an off road Y, connect that to the 3" intermediate pipe, and buy an SLP dual-dual, thats what I would do if I was in your situation... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Flowmaster is played out... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[gruffy cottonball]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_gruffy.gif" />

Re: The Ultimate Catback He's talkin about the flowmaster y-pipe merge collector, not the muffler. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: The Ultimate Catback Ah, ok, I was thinking about putting that on my car, I got the 3" FLP collectors coming off the header, it gets pinched off pretty good before it makes it to the intermediate.....there was a thread going about this a while go, I would suggest doing a search.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: The Ultimate Catback I'm thinking about getting the magnaflow catback .I don't want to have to go threw all that!I have mac headers with ORY and flowmaster muffler,and not happy at all with the sound!!What do you guys think?
Re: The Ultimate Catback Yeah my exhaust description was confusing. My goal is to have the lightest cat back that flows as well as a cutout and is quiet when cruising around.
Im not a fan of the cross flow muffler. A straight through one has to flow better. Most y collectors look pretty restrictive compared to flowmasters collector. Running a single exhaust will save some weight. I need to find a good shop that can do mandrel bends.
