hi all you contour enthusiast! i have a question that hopefully someone will answer. I like in maryland and we have emission testings here lik every 2 yrs or so..i have an intake, removed resonator and an after-market exhaust. I wanna get a sho shop Y-pipe but im not sure if it will pass emissions. does anyone have a y-pipe and still pass emmission tests? and what are the "pluses" of having the y-pipe? i might also want to just get a universal mass flow catylitic converter but then again im still worried about emissions. can someone help me?

Get the SHO Y-Pipe with Hi-Flow Cat and you'll be fine.

I need a y-pipe as well (it's cracked), but I remember seeing dyno graphs showing that the SHOShop y-pipe lost power. I found the threads but the image links were dead, anyone still have them? I wish MSDS sold their y-pipe separately...

I have a sho shop Hi-Flow Y pipe and i like it. I like the sound you get from it and I didn't notice any preformance loss. If you find those dyno runs post them I would like to see them.
