Y-Pipe on stock manifolds

[94rt10ohio]

The mods I am going to do to this car is minimal. All I want is a little louder and to avoid the skip shift so....

Y-Pipe
CAT Back (Maganflow)
Skip Shift

The questions are

1. What Y-Pipe can I get that will bolt into the stock setup? I found SLP, I hear GM has one as well? Any others? Links?

2. Anyone have pics of the SLP Y (or others) on stock manifolds? Want to see how low they hang with stock manifolds.

it's pointless to get an aftermarket Y pipe on stock manifolds:
the stock ws.6 Y is 2.75" and an after market is 3" so really what are you gaining other than a fabrication PITA.

Now that i saved you some coin-go buy a corsa catback

That flat part on the drivers side of the Y would seem like it would be restrictive??

save your money on the corsa, although it is a great set-up I just think it cost too much. magnaflow or hooker makes a great catback system. and may I suggest getting long tubes(then you will have to get a new y-pipe.)

The restriction is in the Manifolds/cats. You're not going to notice any gain with an aftermarket y on stock manifolds. Only when you add headers, Y and exhaust would you see 15-20 rwhp increase when tuned

Maybe will just toss on a catback then. The Y just looked bad. Not looking to make a monster, just want sound and thought while I was under there.....

How does this look for "free flowing"?

agreed, you dont need an aftermarket Y unless you get headers

that is a long tube set up with a aftermarket y pipe. that will flow very well.

the cats aren't that restrictive... the manifolds suck ass and the Y pipe sucks as well... he'd see maybe 3hp gain from the Y pipe with out headers...

but he said he wants some sound coming out and a y pipe will give a bit more sound...

a good cat back = good sound. you don't need the y. it's a waste of money

i have been real damn lazy but i do have a full y pipe and new cats to go on my camaro....if i ever get off my lazy butt and put them on i will take pics.....

Actually the is the underside of my SRT truck. LTs with full 3" and no cats

not to mention a Y for stock manifolds is useless if/when he gets headers

[rapter34]

the y-pipe is really the anoying part that attaches the manifold to the muffler.

huh???

[94rt10ohio]

I will not be getting headers for this car, ever. I know, never say never, but.... never

why not??? better fuel economy... better sound... and a bit more power when you want it...
