y-pipes

[99stocksport]

ok i have read post after post on exhaust options. the main things that i have read about people doing is either a dual inlet muffler (flowmaster 50) or using a y-pipe before the muffler. i was jsut wondering if there is any major drawback to using the y-pipe before the muffler? i.e major power loss

thanks

So you want it like this:

Off the manifolds you will keep the stock y-pipe and then let that run into one pipe and into the converter then break it back into two pipes before the muffler? I doubt any problems will come from them power wise. Just more probability for leaks. You may run out of space for all of this as well.

no...i have a sport so it goes into the muffler with two pipes...i was wondering if i installed a y-pipe, so that i could install a single inlet muffler since they are cheaper and easier to find, would this do any major damage to my x's performance?

It shouldnt hurt it but you are better off using a dual inlet single outlet muffler, let the muffler chamber combine the two bank gasses, dont rely on a Y pipe, it could hurt more then it helps.
