Here are some side-by-side comparisions of my old exhaust setup vs. my new.

Old:
edelbrock TES emissions legal headers into 3" Flowmaster w/ high flow cat. An 80 Series Flowmaster muffler with Hooker tips.

New:
Hooker Super Comp Long Tubes into custom 3" y-pipe into 4" Mufflex to a 4" Spintech Muffler.


New exhaust on left, old on right.


Here are the y pipes...look at the restriction on the passenger side header area of the old y pipe.


And the headers...notice how the Edelbrock ones squeeze down together at the bottom.


And the difference in size of the I Pipes.

 

I was just under my car yesterday and thought about how the edelbrock y-pipe really pinches the incoming pipes at the union, a giant restriction for sure. That new system should really flow.

 

You could climb inside use the 4'' as shelter during a storm

It makes the 3" look down right dinky.

 

Oh yeah, one of our members, Synapsis, used to tell people that I had a family of trolls living in mine.

 

Correct me if i'm wrong, but that 4 inch setup looks like it belongs on a 4th gen LS1. Is it? and do they interchange?

 

The setup actually was straight off a GTA (it's the elusive 1LE type R)

No...not realy...It was custom fabbed for a GTA. Bought the whole setup second hand.

 

type R, huh......gotta get me one of them


anyhow cool setup, the y pipe just resembles an LS1 piece.
