Default LG Custom Y-pipe kicks $/hp ***, dyno within...

first the #'s


Then the price- Under 300$.

Note the almost 30lbft gain at 3000 rpm.

Then the best fact of all- Thanks to the fact that it has 2 3" bullet mufflers and unequal length sides, the car now has no 2000-3000 "Blat" resonance.

One of the best mods my car has ever seen.

370 rwlbft at 3000 rpm with 4.10s. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Im a very pleased customer.

They replaced the Grott offroad Y with 2 3" unequal lenth sides, each containing a dynomax bullet. These two sides went into a flowmaster D-port collector into the 4" mufflex.

very, *very* pleased customer.

Im still trying to get some from Louis. Im in Oregon and the car is in Dallas. It is at LG for a cage, and I convinced Louis to try out some stuff for a good Y-pipe while it was there. He has pics, and he is welcome to post them, but we are having a hard time with attachments in email, and I havent seen it yet. I understand I have about 4"s of ground clearance too, which is sweet.

Either Louis and LG can post em here, or Ill finally get them and post them on my personal website.

I noticed that you put the stock maf back on for the "after" run. What maf did you have on the "before" run and why did you change it?

Stock MAF was on in the first one too. I asked them to try a different MAF. It lowered output. So they put the stock MAF back on.

Visceral,
So did you buy this allready built,
or did they build it there for you?
I have Grotts, and the Y-pipe is the
bigest piece of $hit in the world. Can
I order his Y-pipe built for my grotts.

Sounds like LG is looking into making them for folks. I told them that there is a big demand for Grott Y-pipes, and they seemed very interested. Give them a call and ask for Chris. They are a sponsor here on the board.
I had mine built on the car at the shop and installed as part of the price <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

hmm... that's awesome, I had asked if they'd make me one for Hooker LT's and they said no. I think I might go back up and ask again, that was a month or so ago. Awesome gains there, congrats. Gotta love LG. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

He's prolly the one that built Chris's. Did you talk to one of the dudes behind the counter?

Yeah, definitely Louis.
If they have the car in-house, I'd bet they would love to make one. Call LG, and talk to Chris.

Chris,
You have mail

Pewter 99ss
We can make you a Y pipe. The cost is ~380$, chris (viscerl) supplied his own tubing and the collector along with the bullets which lowers his cost. If you tell me what you want, I CAN make it. All of our cutstom Ys are 100% TIG welded, and the utmost care is taken when building them The craftsmenship, Quality, and performance speaks for itself. If you would like removable cats, Let me know and I can do a similar FLP setup for you. We are going to be making these Ys for a number of headers, so for those of you looking for one, we can meet your needs, Even if you have a custom request it can be done.

Email me if you have any personal ?s Louisgigliotti@yahoo.com
