I said the same thing... was told it’s the final tune going on the car and they weren’t going to waste time just for glory numbers.

How does visual inspection tell you that the Y pipe is to restrictive, because it’s glowing? Seems like there is a underlying issue somewhere that’s need to be sorted out.

A set 2.25” pipes merging to a single 2.5” pipe isn’t a restriction? So 2 pipes with a 4” cross section each for a total of 8” of cross sectional flow merged to a single 2.5” pipe with a 5” cross sectional flow... what do you call that missing 3” of cross sectional flow? How about the 2 90* bends leading up to it?

Simple math points out to it being an issue. Compare it to a true 3” dual exhaust:

2 tubes with a cross section of 7” each for a combined 14” cross section compared to single 5”cross section... hmmm I wonder which would be more free flowing?

I had the same argument with my fabricator when I went from my Stillen exhaust to my FI exhaust. He had to custom fabricate the connection between FI’s mid-pipe and the turbo 3” DP (single turbo). He kept wanting to neck the 3” down to a single 2.5” pipe and then branch back out to mate to the mid-pipe. Took me awhile to explain to him that he was fabricating a restriction into the system. Finally got him to custom fabricate a 3”to2.5” Y, one 3” inlet and two 2.5” outlets.

Why wasn’t this address before the tune? Common sense would of told them it was going to be a restriction. Thanks for clearing that up.

He isn't in charge of it. For some folks it is beauty over function until the beauty don't function. LOL

Noop, don't wish bad JuJu on anyone. Best of luck to him. I am doing my own thang. If he makes 1000hp, good for him.

Absolutely. Anyone making 1000whp would be awesome for the platform. I don’t care whose kit makes it.
