If you are able to twist the Y pipe by just a tiny amount to the right it would bring that side of the pipe closer to the TB. You would need to loosen the 90* coupler on the bottom so it can turn in there a bit which shouldnt throw that side off as its mostly flush. This would also require you to loosen the Y pipe side of the 45* coupler also. Which kind of sucks because you will need to take your bumper off to get to that unless you can reach up from you front bumper if you have something like the stillen bumper. Not sure. However, to get an entirely new coupler on there you will most likely have to do the same anyways.

You do drive a 370 right? I know the G37 guys have issues with that area.

But if you need a coupler you can probably source what you need from Treadstone.

Yes I am in a 370....but Ive cut enough for the bottom of the Y-Pipe area than I'm comfortable with..Cutting anymore would leave nothing lol.....take a look at reference pics of bottom side of Y Pipe.

Have you tried hairspray on the coupler? It'll make it stick and might solve your problem.

By clocking it to the right just a tad shouldnt require you to have to trim anymore shroud. We are talking like 1 or 2 degrees here and that should be enough to push that pipe closer to the TB.

Just got back from dyno days at ESTUNED, they run a all wheel Mustang dyno. Very hot day in the low 90's when I made my run.
Numbers were 366WHP and 289TQ very flat TQ curve and a ridiculously linear HP curve.
This is with 8 lb boost and very conservative tune.

It's too bad you don't have any baseline numbers. Those numbers break my heart :(

The Mustang dyno's aren't called heart breakers for nothing!

ChaseZ 03-11-2017 07:28 PM

Was the dyno running in AWD mode while your car was on it? Even by Mustang standards that seems ridiculously low.

TopgunZ 03-11-2017 07:53 PM

Well, numbers are just that, a number. What really matters is how much fun your having while driving it. If your smiling, nothing else matters. :tup:

wideglideleon 03-11-2017 10:25 PM

Correction that was in 3rd gear it hit 383WHP In forth.

I originally dynoed on a mustang. My 403whp on a Mustang was 508 on a dynojet.

You should be over 400WHP on 4th gear....mostly everyones dyno numbers are on 4th gear....others have done it on 5th gear stating that 5th gear is more on the 1:1 ratio.

Was that JTRAN's? When I was over there he said he ended up switching to a dynojet because people were so disappointed with the numbers his dyno put out that he was losing business... even though he felt the mustang dyno was a far superior tuning tool.
