Built A New Y-pipe...
That is a damn nice custom y! Finally you got some sound clips of the that cam at idle to hear how it sounds, ive been waiting lol. The cam just arrived on friday while i was so im off to pick the cam up from the post office this morning and go to the engine shop to get everything else put back together!
No offense, but I cant imagine really feeling a difference with a simple change of the Y-pipe?? But, good job... I enjoy reading your threads. Im in the middle of the 8.8 buildup as well.

The merge on the y-pipe is the most critical part of these exhaust systems, and considering how poor the after market y-pipes are there are definitely gains to be had.

Not having a tunnel mounted TA, i didnt even realize that it might interfere :s but thats for people with tunnel mounted TA's to spot
And gains there are... Its been awhile since ive had it on the car now and i can still feel the difference in her. So much nicer.

really nice job man, I just build one for mine but I used 2 1/2 in piping so that sucks, but it was a quick fix only, Im starting to plan a 3 in build then I saw this, do you think this cat converters will work on it? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Thund...Q5fAccessories
I dont know if they are too long or too wide maybe you can help me out with it, also do you know what do I need to build the complete exhaust? I dont want to buy a cat-back cuz already bought one and it didnt fit properly so I want to build one and tuck it as much as possible, and there are no good exhaust shops arrund here
thanks!!

5-3" u bends
1-Y-merge
1-4' straight pipe
and a muffler that will fit. alot of cutting here and there and welding. and of course a place to mount it.

Gorge, i dont think those cats will give you a hard time at all. IF there to long just cut them down abit. Width wise i think theyll be perfectly fine. To do a whole catback like mine, with a single in single out. including the y-pipe, youd need

4- 90 degree elbows PN; IMM-52021
1- U bend
2- 45 degree elbows PN; WLK-42760
1-Y-merge like the one u used
1-4' straight pipe
that would be less cutting and its only about 8 dollars more, but I'm not sure on how to come up with the angle that goes at the end of the straight pipe going up to the axle; also will 2-45 degree angles make up the passenger side of the Y pipe? thats what I used on mine but again mine is only 2 1/2 in not 3in
that used to be my parts list, I just wasnt sure if it would actually make up all of the angles with it
I apreciate your help and advice man, I'm not confident enough with my ideas and would rather listen to osmebody who has actually done this before
NP man, its the forums are for! What you said should be easier as far as cutting is concerned.. i only go with U pipes because for me its more convenient. youd need 4 45* for the Y pipe, then 2 90* for over the axle. then another 2 90*'s for the muffler in the back. it doesnt hurt to buy another pipe just to have it, just in case.
