Sleeper exhaust Is there a Y pipe out there designed to run off the stock exhaust manifolds? Instead of going with headers, I'm thinking about installing a sleeper exhaust system.

Anyone else have a custom setup off the manifolds?

That's weird... I did the search using my make/model.
If I get it custom made, won't an exhaust shop have to bend the pipe, crimping the inside, and reduce air flow?

Thanks for your opinion, I guess? This thread isn't about headers. It's about going with a setup without them.

this is what I use and it flows great enough for a wheel to hang. You'll have to scroll down a bit. 5th item. No cut-out on this car

As a side note, is your exhaust catted?
My factory cat is gutted and welded on the end of the y-pipe. Then the TSP bolts on just like a normal system. For a quieter muffler I liked my old moroso spiral pros cat-back that I had made at one time. Mellow until you hammer it.
Still trying to pass visual? Technically you won't with that y-pipe that the other poster linked, that's for pre '96-'97 vehicles. But most smog shop guys are idiots and would only notice that you have a cat (even if it's only one instead of two) and pass you.

I have a '97 T/A and run the Stainless Works ORY and Borla Cat-back. The ORY bolts right up to My stock manifolds. I chose this so I can simply bolt up the catted Y pipe when its time for smog. takes about an hour to make the swap. I run the aluminized steel unit and it cost about $200 from summit. Dont forget a stainless band clamp to mate to the cat-back.
