If the y pipe is 2.5" its gonna be a flop. Yeah, people are concerned about clearance but not to that extreme. Just my opinion.
If the y pipe is 3" and the headers and y pipe combo is that price on their site then they wont be able to keep them on the shelf.
Oh yeah, the tubes must also be 1.75. Looks like they are.

The y-pipe is 2 1/2" from each collector into a 3" at the merge

Lets hope they wake up and make a full 3" version too. The merge is sweet, and the collector hookup is nice too. These Y pipe people need to learn something from mufflex... merge into a 4" collector so we can put in a cutout, then reduce to 3" for regular catbacks. a 4" pipe flows approximately 11% less than two 3" pipes.

Looks like a decent set of headers with a decent y-pipe. Sad to see they're not stainless but it's nice to see halfway decent coated headers on the market. It's great to see that after all these years, companies are still R&D'ing our cars.

1. They already have the design made up, so I don't see why they couldn't come out with stainless if the market calls for it... all they need to do as far as I can see is swap the type of metal they are bending in the jigs...
2. You guys are worried about the size of the ORY piping, BUT, check out my dyno hp/tq ratings... apparently it's not an issue, and I have plenty of ground clearance for a lowered car

Please post a 12oz can pic soon! It's a shame they didn't mock up a marketable 2.5" true dual system for our cars. That would be great......

otherwise I might not even get to see my own car till after the weekend 
I agree a True Dual system for our cars would be a HUGE hit. I'll pass the word along to them and see if there is any interest.

yea we'll see how well i drive it next week haha! I do have a little experience, as I used to work at the local drag strip as far as the rubber band technique... That's BBK's tech Bryan! I thought it was a VERY clever idea as well and it worked wonders!

To everyone who is worried about the 2.5" y-pipe, people run 2.5" true duals all the time, and the flow is more than enough for moderately modded cars. I don't see the Y-pipe being an issue. It's still 3" at the merge.

For a street car, the metal intakes are just as good as a plastic intake. Plus, they're a lot stronger and can take more nitrous.
For a track car, you'd think heat soak would be an issue if the staging lanes are long, but if you just get a bag of ice, the metal intake will absorb a lot more of the cold than a plastic intake could, making the metal intake an advantage if you get ice (which is sold at pretty much every track).
Either way, I see the "heat soak" issue as being mythical. If you get a good price on one, buy it. If I were given the option of an LS6 intake or a BBK intake for free, I just may pick the BBK. I don't see why not.

Why? The vast majority of people use a 3 inch catback system anyways. What's the sense in having a y pipe with two 3 inch pipes that merge into one 3 inch pipe? Two 2.5 inch pipes have more area than one 3 inch pipe anyways.
