Cool exhaust idea
Cool exhaust idea I just measured today where my magnaflow 3" cat back clamps over the factory y and the outlet from the factory y pipe where it merges is 2 5/8" so my thinking is to cut off that part where it necks down to 2 5/8" and cut it back till where it is 3" and then weld a replacement 3" pipe straight to the 3" magnaflow cat back. Should i see a worth while gain? i know it wont cost much or take much time. Or does anyone have any pictures of someone else doing this? Thanks

I'd say just do it! I had it like that from day one when I put my flowmaster together. My cousin gave me his old Y pipe I think it was SLP or somthing and then bought a flowmaster muffler and made my own cat back. It sounded great! Heres a pic of the Y pipe.

i mean, if you want to do it still, more power to you. but your pissing into the wind. i garuntee, you will notice nothing, and even if you dyno it, you will see nothing because the variances in conditions and dyno's will outweigh the results.
hell ya that is what i was looking for. Thanks, and after seeing that chart i think it would definately be in my best interest to do that mod.
california ok....were trying to keep you from hacking up your stock Y thinking your going to gain something.
1. shorties or if your on a budget, get 00+ manifolds
2. 2 high flow cats and put them in the same place as your stock cats
3. SLP Y-pipe, that doesnt have the flat peice on the drivers side
4. if your really worried, get a flowmaster merge and do the mod on the new pipe. but the stock merge is more than sufficient for stock manifolds and a cat back.
