Custom y-pipe

Custom y-pipe
Hey guys. My car currently has a somewhat shoddy y-pipe underneath it.
It's ok, but it's 2 1/4" into a manmade y collector into a 3" magnaflow cat.
Would it be worth it to do another ypipe with dual 2.5" into single 3 and either remove or gut the cat?
I'm asking because I have the flowmaster ypipe sitting in my garage for over a year now. Is it worth it, considering the camshaft I'm running?
I remember reading in Chevy High Performance were someone asked a very similar question, and McClelland said go for it, but I'm always skeptical with journalists.

Ok, so let me get this straight. You already have the Y-pipe ready to bolt in? If so, then why not go ahead and install it? If you are looking at it for a big gain in performance, I wouldnt really expect too much there, but then again that depends on just how much your motor needs to breathe.
I once had a custom built Y-pipe put on my Iroc for my Hooker shorty headers. The muffler shop did an awful job and it was very restrictive when I finally took it out and got a look inside. But you already have yours ready to go, so you should try it if you have some free time.
