I'm just curious if you guys with long tube headers have gotten custom y-pipes made for your exhaust? I want to get Hooker Super Comps but I can't afford to pay the $250 for the mufflex y-pipe so I'm wondering what it would cost to have a performance exhaust shop make something very similar to the mufflex part? Thanks for the help.

 

Anyone???

 

well it might help if you make a Drawing for the Exhaust shop to use as guide and give you some idea on how much it would cost..


heres a quick drawing i did to kind of give you some ideas.

 

exhaust shop refused to make me a 2.5 y pipe for my shorties they said it wouldnt fit. just go duals if your gonna run longtubes its cheaper and better.

 

I'd like to run duals but the car is a daily driver and I don't want to deal with the ground clearance issues of a muffler under the middle of the car.

 

it sounds like your Exhuast shop Is very lazy

 

they are very very lazy around here...its pitiful actually. plus the bends they make suck...not worth it...with this setup i will only need straight pipe...how can they mess that up?? this will be my dialy driver...

 

When I had single 3in with long tubes, the shop charged me just under $100 to make it.

 

Was your y-pipe like the mufflex one, shape and size wise, and did it have mandrel bends?
Did it also have the S-bends right off the header collector to clear the tranny and crossmember?

Here's the mufflex link for reference:

it was dual 2.5 into single 3. it routed under the crossmember and then merged into a Y just behind where the cat used to be.

 

with long tubes i would either recommend duals or shorties.

i had the mufflex Y and i thought it was a horrible design and it too scraped every speed bump. it goes past the tranny then it Ys right under the driveshaft...nowhere near the stock I pipe.

it also comes with a 4" outlet!!! so you have to get a 3in reducer extending this long motha even farther back under the DS.

good luck
