    y-pipe Do you have any pics of your y-pipe? And how much it cost you or how you did it? I'm thinking of getting a random tech y-pipe but if I can do it myself cheaper then I am all about it.

    DIY By Pass Oil Filtration

    I'm not sure what the flow rate would be. But the pressure coming into the system would have to be 20psi or greater to by pass the filter. The filters that are standard for your cars have a by pass in them. It might be around 7psi, but don't quote me on that, just a guess. I got into an...

    DIY By Pass Oil Filtration

    There would be a bypass in the head unit. So when the filter gets clogged and pressure builts up to say 20 psi it compresses the spring and lets fluid thru.

And, this "These filters remove 39 percent of soot contaminants less than one micron. Soot removal efficiency increases approximately 10 to 14 percent when...

    Gibson Superflow vs Magnaflow XL

    The design of the 2 mufflers are similar. And I'm trying to get some low to midrange rpm. Thats why I decided to go with a chambered design instead of a stright thur design. Also, I'm assuming that the chambered design creates more backpressure which in turn increases torque and low end power

    Exhaust: Y-pipe or Dual out

    Hm..I dunno if I was specific enough..... I'm try to put in dual out exhaust. Since dual 1.75" pipes have approx. the same area as 2.5" pipe. 4.81 in^2 (dual 1.75") 4.91 in^2 (single 2.5") 6.28 in^2 (dual 2.0") 7.95 in^2 (dual 2.25") Since dual 2.0" is a lilttle bigger and with...

    Exhaust: Y-pipe or Dual out

    Is yours aluminized or stainless steel? I don't want to have to replace the exhaust system till the car craps out. Also, I have a SOHC so I don't want it to flow too freely. Well then its not stainless then, eh? I believe stainless steel shouldn't rust period. Its just turns colors.

    Exhaust: Y-pipe or Dual out

    Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows if a single in/single out muffler with a y-pipe on the out, for dual out, will perform just as well as a single in/dual out muffler. The reason I"m asking is because I can't seem to find the muffler I want. Gibson makes a 2.5" single out/ 1.75" dual out...
