Anyone tried this?
I wonder if there would be higher gains with the resonator removed as well as adding a downpipe (y-pipe). Should give roughly 8-10hp throughout the band, and may give it a deeper sound... anyone done this?

I'm gonna have the exhaust guy look at a custom downpipe on thursday when I get the flowmaster
by custom, i mean one for another car, not custom built. I see no reason why a rustang or camaro one wouldn't work.

Keep us updated.
The stock Y pipe has 2 silver netting type things not sure what they are for, like flexible braided steel so I left it as is.
see here
But if gains can be proven it will be my next mod to replace the Y-Pipe.

has anyone tried just doing some thing like a bolt-on, instead of welding the straight pipe on? that way if you don't like it, you can simply bolt the silencer back on

2003z-
The main issue would be spacing and size. The other thing is that y-pipes can be optimized for their specific application. This might mean a less than optimum application for us. Keep us posted.
Max-
Isn't that a catalytic converter in the y-pipe? That may make it a little more difficult to find someone to do a custom piece.
zogan-
A bolt in replacement would have to be pretty involved. The pipe that contains the premuffler connects the y-pipe to the muffler and is fairly long and has numerous bends. The custom piece would be a good deal more expensive.

Thanks Zaphod
I knew they were there for a reason and was advised by my muffler guy to keep it stock. Makes sense to me.
I may eventually go with some high flow cats but everything else seems copesetic. I am *sure* I gained some HP. My mpg definately improved by about 30 gallons per tank.
Hopefully by spring when the track conditions are perfect I will have that AEM Version 2 CAI and a Chip and I can hit the track
(the true test of where your car is at power wise!)
Dyno numbers are good but I prefer track numbers instead!!!
