Or quite possibly you all did, but yet your answers were too far over my head. That could be it too...

same with Magnaflow - my fully polished Tru-X muffler is an absolute work of art. I would have looked just as good hanging on the wall as it did under the truck. don't know where you're lookin, but i think they have an idea of what they're doin.

Let me get this straight , are you callin g me a liar? The Y is Flanged - It is welded and brazed on the 98 F150. Mann, theres prolly so many different configurations by year/model that it really doesn't matter. What pupose would I have to make things up ? I will mention one thing - If you think you have a stainless Y from the Ford Factory here in Dearborn - Your freakin HIGH!!

Simply put. The answer yes, it can be welded a few different ways and brazed as well..

That said, you didn't answer my question, yet provided some dissertation on how actually perform the mod. Reading Kompreehenshun. Smart one....
