Yep - you sure can - it's this one - 2.5" in/out: http://www.troyerperformance.com/cgi...atalogno=10768

BUT if you mean the EXACT same size/shape/config as the OEM piece, the answer is 'no'. Someone would have to fab that up - not really worth it.

Buy the appropriate off-the-shelf, Maggie 'Y', get the length of crossover pipe with the mandrel bend in it as described, and get it welded in. Cake.

Sorry about that, I went back and edited that last post because I saw you also mentioned using the 2.5 with factory exhaust..I'm a little slow sometimes.

Ok I just talked to a guy at the local Cole muffler here, and he told me there is a crimp in the y pipe for back-pressure, and the motor wouldn't run right without it?

That's what custom tunes are for.

Hi.

You need to go elsewhere because that's plain BS.

The exhaust gurus will have fun with this one

Lol I asked him if a custom tune would fix it, he told me that is a topic that's way over his head.

I have an appointment to have it looked at Thursday at Monro. Are the muffler and that y-pipe the two biggest exhaust restrictions? I'm planning on buying a 22" Magnaflow muffler..I like that one because I would like to keep it somewhat quiet(I don't want the sound to overpower my radio). They make a 24", but I would have to pay extra for a polished finish to get that one.
