Default Anyone Running This Y-Pipe?

Looks like a great deal for stainless steel and good welds..
Im thinking about just cutting it were it turns down and having a Exhaust shop weld on the rest of the Piping with a Magnaflow Bullet before the axle..
Anyone Running This One?

I don't have that exact one with the turndown, but I bought my headers and y pipe from them about 3-4 years ago. No issues whatsoever, I believe it'll fit Pacesetter headers or similar. I see they still have the standard y pipes in their store, that is the one that came along with my headers.

I picked up a second one not too long ago for an off road y when they were discounting them and the ends on that one required a little finessing to make them round enough to slip onto the headers. Still the same quality as the first one though.

It looks the same as the Y pipe that came on my ap1ap2 ebay LT's... It wasnt bad but i went ahead and built my own using a high scavaging Y pipe. Much better if you ask me.

^^^ Same merge I'm running. I have no idea why the LT1 crowd still runs y-pipes with shitty merges. You pick up some power and completely change the sound of the car for the better.

i will agree that the sound may change with those to merges, but really more power?

Better merge = better scavaging.

Just for clarification, the y pipe in SoxXpupPeT's pics is not the same as the one the OP linked to. Not sure how people always get these mixed up when they look totally different...

They may not be the same but the Y is still crap in comparison to a high flow merge like the magnaflow one I used.
