I had mufflex make me a custom y years ago. Honestly, it wouldn't have been so expensive had they not sold me cats that cost something around $200-300 a piece. Just make sure you tell them what you want.

my buddy is getting his exhaust done at this place. I like that they have oval tubing too for extra clearance for the Y:

They are talking about the stock TPI intake Jake:



And FWIW, I think that the bellows in the nose that are supposed to keep water out of the intake block more air than the Y itself. I would think that it would be ok. Before pricing a custom one, why not try back to back passes with and without it? Or back to back dyno runs?

I was wondering what it meant to have a Y snorkel

but I guess we could discuss, have you figured out what you are doing for the exhaust yet Al?

I think im gunna cut off that stupid hose holder there. Its getting in the way.



Lower. Im gunna get some of that protectant sheilding that should stop the idler arm bracket from wearing a hole in the side of the hose.

Well, we have hit a snag. We have fuel, it turns over, but no start. There is no spark to any of the coils. We poked and the coils are getting power, but no spark?
Neither bank of coils want to fire? We are going through the list, Brian and Adam are here with diag tools, and we are trying to chase it down.
I think we are coming to a conclusion that it might be a bad crank sensor.

Injectors are firing, we see RPM on scan tool.
No coil firing.

Seems to possibly be a bad pcm.
