Had to have mine professionally installed and welded in place for $100, Factory decided to run a stripped nut all the way up on one of the manifolds bolts......... Cheap power. I think on Warmongers 3L page it shows a pic of the 2 2" pipes crused into one 2" flange. That and the SHO unit weighs a minimum of 20lbs less. Money doesn't always bring happiness.

This slows down the velocity of the exhaust gas and thus equal length piping does not equate to matched pulses! So you are left with a heavier unit that does not perform as well as it should. The there is all the added heat the extra piping adds. I would bet that a properly modified stock Y-pipe would easily outperform this "equal" length unit and it definitely would do it with a lot less heat transferred to the oil pan, engine bay, p/s lines, and underbody. They claim a modest power gain over the stock Y-pipe. Well I should hope so. Even a flawed design such as this should be better than poorly crushing two 2" pipes together into one 2" flange. Thus effectively making each pipe under 1"!!! Your best option for a Y-pipe is modifying the stock unit. Followed by a SHO/BAT unit with a chip or MSDS unit. The gains that performance fords are claiming is with an aftermarker ypipe on. 98 csvt t-red.. sho-shop intake, b&m, fidanza, spec1 clutch, Torsen, DMD,optimized Y& TB, Brullen, rear strut bar,h&r's,17" konig traffik's.

The sho y is a strong contendar as the best perfomance mod I've done to my car thus far and I've done A LOT. I have the aluminum one, nice fit, no leaks, great performance. I'm dumbfounded , the only thing I've notice is that it takes a lot longer to get one now than once before. Eric and at a 149$ it's a steal no sweat or tears hacking the chit out of the existing one either.

I did however have it Ceramic coated and liked it every bit. No problems with it.
