Y Pipe: Merged vs. Slammed
#1
![Default](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
We all know that a slammed Y pipe (where the individual pipes are welded into each other) makes much more rasp than a merged Y (where the individual pipes go in whole to a collector). Is there any data that indicates a power difference between the two?

And I have a tsp "slam" y-pipe with zero rasp. Must be another one of those internet myths.

What good is a 4" Y if the colector is only 3". You can only flow as much air as your smallest pipe. Id like to see the clearence of a 4" Y too

The way to mask the sound is to dump the exhaust because when pointed at the ground it kinda gets cancelled out.

Well, my question really wasn't about rasp ... (I guess I took it for granted that a slammed Y was more raspy) - it was about any power difference between a true merged Y (Flowmaster merge) vs. one where the the pipes are simply welded together - due to better flow, less turbulence, etc.
