[Shotimes] custom y-pipe?

[John J. Weidenbenner]

I'm not sure why a single dual inlet cat is being investigated. What's the
advantage. It doesn't match the original layout so it won't the meet the
govt requirements unless the new design is submitted and passes testing.
It's not submitted to the doof that does the emissions test.

If low cost and retaining enough back pressure is the objective how about a
catless y-pipe with restriction(s)added, such as a necked down pipe
element(s). Whatever size it takes. Flow could be caculated and/or looked
up. This could even lead to a customeizable/tuneable y-pipe. The pipe still
would not have the emmisions "paper work" to make it legal - if you're
caught, but would eliminate the cost of the convertor(s).
