Default Kooks Y-pipe with Jet Hot headers???

I am about to do a little exhaust work on the car which includes getting a new y-pipe made for my car. I am wondering if the Kooks Y-pipe is close enough to the jet Hot headers to have a fab shop make it work. I will be using v-band clamps on it any way. Just wondering how much work it would take to make it work.



Thanks,

Brent

I used a Hooker and the shop just added a section either on the passenger side or at the end of it. Worked great.

I am trying to get a good y-pipe with a good flowing merge. I called QTP and they said that they had one that would fit Jet Hot headers.

Thank You

Quite a few people have been uphappy with the fitment of QTP Y pipes. I have their headers, but not their Y based on all the complaints I've read.

I use a Mufflex ORY. Great pipe. Fit right up to my Jethots. I can find pics and post them if you want (pics are of ORY prior to install). Unless you are running a 4 inch intermediate pipe, you will need to get a 4 inch to 3 inch reducer.
