New offroad Y pipe finally installed!

[Afboy143]

Hey guys, first off I want to give props to Jakee for this idea. He helped me out on what to buy and such and the general idea. I finally got it installed. The Y pipe consists of:

1x Magnaflow dual 2.5" to single 2.5" Y pipe
3x 2.5" section piping
2x 2" to 2.5" adapters to fit the pipe to the stock manifold
1x 2.5" Exhaust mandral bend kit
2x 02 sensor bungs
1x Flowmaster Original 40 muffler

I really like the outcome. Much more torque and when Im going and get on it...she goes! It is MUCH MORE aggresive sounding/louder than when I had stock 2" piping and stock cats. The only thing I would like to change is maybe the muffler to a super 44. The muffler sounded good with the cats on; however, with the cats off and bigger piping manifold back, the noise gets higher up and isnt as deep. I was told a large magnaflow muffler might help this....I was thinking maybe a single super 44 flowmaster? Any input? Here are pics

A fellow single-piper . I stuck with 2.25" pipes all the way through though.

That looks pretty dad-gum good!

So you feel you've gained torque?

 

[Afboy143]

well the 4.0 motors like single pipes so I stuck with single as well. The only thing I want now is a deeper muffler as the original flowmaster 40 gets LOUD and HIGH. Am thinking about super 44.... I noticed a lot more low end torque. I love it! If only the sound was better....also smells a bit more. Here is a few morning shots with the pipes painted. Notice I had to use 2.5 to 2" adapter to use the stock manifold connectors.

Im' in the process of making a new y-pipe for my ranger, only I wish it looked HALF as pretty as yours, man... Good Work! I'm jealous!

so are you guys cutting out the catalytic converter??? cuz there off road

 

[Jakee]

This cuts out the pre-cats but you have a choice to run a main cat. Me personally, I'm running a 3" Magnaflow cat.

Well since its so loud (Have original 40 flowmaster on) I ordered a new one. I got a Super 44 Flowmaster in the mail. We will see how this works. A friend of mine also has a magnaflow sitting around we are going to try.

Jakee, did the magnaflow cat muffle the sound at all? I might end up getting one for the smell..

There certainly is an odor after you cut those back cats off isn't there

Well I mean the odor isnt horrible....very slight. Im just worried about what it smells like to the people behind me as I drive. I dont want to be the smelly car on the road !

Af - To me, it cleans up the sound. you know the pitchy rasp? I believe the cat cleans that up a little. I have a 2.5" Magnaflow cat that I used for a few months maybe? Anyways, it's yours if you want it. I'll sell it to you cheap.
