Default Y-pipe for stock manifolds

Who makes a cheap ORYP for stock manifolds? I'd like to go with long tubes but it doesn't seem like it's gonna happen anytime soon. I feel like the cats are holding some back. Also they smell really strong when I get on it (even just a little WOT run)

I also need to get O2 sims right? Is there anything else I'm missing?

A ORY for stock manis won't fit on long tubes anyway.

It's not worth it. You are not going to pick up a whole lot until you go with headers, so don't bother, waste of money IMO.

intense3123 Here are my opinions regarding and ORY. Bassani used to make one and that is what I had. My original plans for the car where to go with a single turbo setup. With that said I didn't want to spend on headers and take them out when I got the turbo. I decided instead that in the meanwhile I can get a an ORY along with my exhaust until I went with the turbo. So I got the Bassani ORY.

Installation was easy, unhook the old one and put the new one. Install O2 sims and off I went. One thing that I realize is how much the cats muffle the sound of the car the car got a lot lowder that in addition with the Borlamouth gave the car a real mean sound, but it was still livable as far as interior noise.

I did gain some HP with the swap but not a lot. I just took the Y-pipe because my plans changed and although the stock exhaust manifolds+ORY+Borlamouth where enough to support the stock engine. Once I put a big cam with lots of overlap (MS4), the current exhaust setup was inadecuate. So I got LT headers and a ORY and still have the Borlamouth. So in short it depends what you want to do with the car, I was happy with them for the time that I had them My car put 348.7 hp and 357.6rwtq with a Lid, 160stat, and the exhaust described previously.

I'm selling mine now that I have headers if you want it here is the link.
