Expanding Exhaust
Having trouble getting my Edelbrock Y to slip onto my collectors, its just slightly too small. None of the muffler shops around have an expander over 3". Any ideas on how to open these up just a bit? BTW, the Edelbrocks have 3.5" collectors

I had the same problem with my qtp headers and tsp duals. The only shop around me with a 3" pipe expander was OK 4WD. So maybe try an off road shop. If that doesnt work maybe you could rent a 2.5" expander (which seem to be more common) and jam something around it so it can open up a 3" pipe.

I called Edelbrock, they were very friendly. They offered to have it shipped back, correct it and return it the same day they received it. I would prefer to have the car back up and running this weekend, but if I can't source a good way to do it, then I will take Edelbrock up on their offer.

I ended up using a piece of extra 3.5" pipe that came with the headers to wedge them open.
I welded in a pair of magnaflow 59959 cats, my driver's side clearance isn't all that hot. I have adjusted the fit a couple times and think its about as good as I can get it. Less than 6" for sure
