3.5" y pipe
Hello I just purchased some tsp 2" headers with 3.5" collectors. I wanted to see some 3.5" y pipes or full exhaust setups. Car is primarily used for track use.

Kooks used to make one. I think they no longer make it?

Mine is not a Y pipe but my tranny is out now and these are laying on the floor so here you go. Under $100 total investment, 2 4' sticks 3.5" pipe and 2 3.5" cherrybomb extreme mufflers. Only have 3 runs on car so no comparison between through mufflers and open header.

Well I just sourced the stuff to custom make a 3.5" to 4" Y pipe, bill was $130 from Summit and $75 for a merge on ebay. 3.5" merges are hard to come by. I ended up getting a Howe merge thats a 5" bellmouth exit and Im just gonna cut it back to where its 4". At summit I bought 2 long u-bends, two header slip connectors, two lap clamps, and one 4' piece of straight pipe. Should be making it within the week.

The simplicity of running dumps is always enticing. I just cant stand the noise in the car. Even just putting a 90 on the end and pointing it out under the rocker make a huge difference in cab noise.

I have built a ton of custom exhaust over the years. Every single time I buy mandrel pre bends from summit. I select whatever brand bend is cheapest on their site. Lots of times its summit brand (obviously made by someone else). The merge I select was Howe Racing, a company ive never heard of. It actually all showed up today. I will be posting pics soon.

I will be ordering those headers soon. I will be custom making a y pipe for them.
Adding this:
Ordered up some random pipe pieces and clamps.
In this picture you can see the Howe racing merge, 3.5 to 5 inch, and my old 4" bullet muffler I plan on reinstalling.
This merge obviously was too big so I ended up cutting it back about 3 inches so it would mate up with 4 inch pipe.
Here is the completed Y pipe and merge.
Had it coated with high temp powder.
