exhaust match up question

OK I got this guy from craigslist that has 2 magnaflow mufflers, si/so. they have a about 6" of pipe left over off the outlet. He also has the tips for it.

My question is, Would I have to get a y-pipe for my stock exhaust to mount up to it?, or can i just go straight out of the headers?

I am getting these for 100.00 so I dont want to put much more into it as i might as well buy new.

You would have to split the exhaust somewhere, or cut the stock Y out. If you're not supercharged/turbocharged, I would go the former and split the exhaust 18 inches in front of the two mufflers, then run tailpipes back from the mufflers back.

Doing a DI/DO on an N/A motor will cause you to lose torque.

Yep. That'll do it. But check prices for bent aluminized pipe installed. It may actually cost less that the y pipe to split the single pipe to the 2 mufflers as those two sections would require about 8 bends total. Most of the way from the header pipes to the mufflers would be straight anyway.

Good luck!
