Sorry, I can't find my reciept, but the Ypipe I have is the one they said I would need. On the web page they used to only have two listings, one with O2 sensors and one without. I hope this is helpful.

Listen up.........

I have all this stuff. The 2210 Hooker SC LTs did not come with O2 bungs. Maybe they can be ordered that way, but mine did not. I ordered the Mufflex TPI-Y WITH O2 bungs so I could monitor A/F ratio, even on a carbed car. I use an Autometer gauge and switch between the two sensors. I use the y-pipe by itself at the track and use a Dynomax Bullet muffler on street.........

The ypipe ends in the passenger side of the tranny tunnel. It can join up with your 3in intermediate pipe there with no problems using the reducer you mentioned. www.mufflex-performance.com

I just put a group purchase together with Mufflex Performance. The savings is 15-20%. I fear that one of our participants is going to drop out, leaving us no choice but to cancel the GP. If you are interested in being in the GP, please shoot me an email at jmatlock88@aol.com. Thanks!

I-pipe..........

Your 3" I-pipe will not just hook up to the mufflex reducer without some modification in length and location. A few bends may be necessary as well at the exhaust shop, I doubt anyone can do it at home w/o shop type tools and gear...........

I've had my setup for like two years now............I'll never go back to shorty headers...........

did u have to do anything to ur crossmember or no? becuz ive heard for the y pipe people had to modify there cross member. i think.

i just hope the exuast shop doesnt rape me in price if i try to get it to go into the intermidiate pipe.

Notched..............

Crossmember edges were notched to allow for more clearance..........not a big deal.

Yeah about the crossmember thing. If you have an aftermarket crossmember the Mufflex Y-pipe might not fit anymore. I switched over to a Spohn crossmember and torque arm and my y pipe would not fit because it is much more rigid design. No big deal, just had my local exhaust shop bend me one. I know its not what you are asking, just something I found out the hard way

Yeah the Spohn torque arm and crossmember come as a kit. They design it (Torq arm) to mount to the crossmember rather than the tail of the trans. It works great, I think. Only problem I had was my exhaust needed to be reworked.

BMR does make a few different varieties of torque arms. Their highest level piece also changes the front mount from the trans to the crossmember. They make a bolt in arm if that is what you are looking for.
