custom y-pipe???

by **shocar4** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 12:01 pm

i am getting ready to have a custom y-pipe made at my local shop with no cats at all and my recently purchased o2 sim....my ? is what size pipe should i run from my stock fed headers (manifold) 2.75 or 3 inch?

ummm....you don't run the actual y-pipe 3" or anything that big....it should go into a collector and then to 3" piping...

usually, the piping itself should be about the same size as the headers. otherwise, say, if you use 3" piping on each downside of the y-pipe, you'll need a huge collector- like a 5" collector or something to prevent turbulence...

one of the biggest weaknesses of the stock y-pipe is the fact that there's a crimp in it for some reason, and the piping is flat in spots as well.

also, since you're paying good money for a y-pipe, make sure that they make the runners as even lengths as possible. The lazy way is to make them uneven, and it's easier/cheaper, but the performance gain is not the same.

Get the Y-pipe that JPP makes! Why reinvent the wheel?

so i should just keep the same diameter piping that the oem y-pipe is but minus the crappy design ......jpp is way to much $ for me...when i have a shop here in town that will make whatever i want for a fraction of the cost!

^ you could have jose make it without the cat Im sure...

It's a VERY highflow cat.

since these pieces are made to order im sure jpp would have no problem making a cat delete for you...
however
gettin a hold of them is a whole nother issue

M_ABILONES, PM me if you need more info. Lets keep this on topic for Randy.

Im not sure of the diameter pipe JP uses on their y-pipe randy, I could try to measure for you if I get a chance. Are you planning to do a 3" catback as well?

by **shocar4** » Tue Apr 29, 2008 8:20 am

thanks damon...not sure just trying to decide what i want to do...measure that for me if you get a chance!
