Can someone provide me with a photo of an aftermarket cat back system? I need a picture of the location of where the factory y-pipe ends and the cat back system begins. I am looking for this picture because I have cut my exhaust off over a year ago and been running just the y-pipe. I just placed an order for a cat back system and need to know if I am going to have to buy another piece of straight pipe and clamps, or if I am ok.

 

You've been running just the y-pipe for a year....

i will take a pic tomorrow if nobody beats me to it

jw what kind of exhaust did you pick? they may vary a little

 

Yea my custom home made exhaust rusted off and I had to many other truck projects at the time. I just hope I did not cut to much off already. And yes just the y-pipe is very loud and very poppy, but does make one nice rumble at WOT!. Makes everything in the truck vibrate like no other.

 

I ordered dynomax cat back but y remplace the muffler to a dual in dual out...
cut Y pipe off and start 2 new piping off the cats...Y pipe on our truck stole so much HP....

 

That is what I have heard. What I will probably do is buy an after market y-pipe section, cut and weld it in.

 

^ I like that idea, i plan on hacking up my y-pipe soon and try to improve it

Here's your pic, this is the mbrp exhaust

Thanks for the picture but that does not really help all that much. I really need a picture perpendicular to the exhaust at the location where the cat back system connects to the factory y-pipe, that is taken far enough back that I can get an idea of the joint location.

 

it is at that clamp in the pic, directly on the other side of the tranny brace

 

here is what you see from under the brace towards the front

ahh ok... well if I recall that is the location that I cut mine off. My luck I will be 1" short.... NO JOKES PEOPLE lol.
