Sorry guys,
I'm new here and have been posting a lot. I have always subscribed to car mags, but this is my first really cool car that I could do something with. So, what does a y pipe do really? Thanks, big tex

 

it goes from the ends of your manifolds or headers and Y's it from 2 pipes into one before it gets to your cat. because true dual exhaust (one pipe going to its own cat and muffler per exhaust manifold/header) is impossible to put underneith our cars without lifting them up or screwing with banging up floorboards on the driver side, etc....

its just a y pipe like it says, stock ones are small. if you get a bigger one your exhaust will flow free-er.

 

I've seen non-screwy dual exhaust on a thirdgen, it wouldn't be easy to run, but I've seen it. The pipes followed the path of the stock exhaust, they were right next to each other. Somebody on here had posted pictures of it...pretty trick setup. Search for dual exhaust and you might find it.

yeah but if i remember right, that dual exhaust was like show-car quality...there were a lot of chages made to teh car. i dont think it is really that functional on teh street. i could be wring though, but thats what i remembered.

a friend of mine has duals that he put on his '86. it ws ok, but he dumped it in front of the axle.

yeah true duals is cool and everything, but unless you ahve some serious motor i dont think its necessary. i think a single 3" flows as much as dual 2.25"s or somthing. who knows.

but, i can tell you, if there was an easy way to do it, i would do it in a minute.

with glasspacks you can do it easy. One running behind a little behind the cat, and the other turned sideways/oriented the same way as our stock exhaust.

 

that is..........bringing the driver side pipe to the passenger side and running them parallel
