I got a quote of $150 to have one custom made when I was shopping for=20
exhaust. 2x2 =BC into a 3" collector with the o2 bung installed.

Not to sound like an idiot (probably will), but aren't the 318 and 360=20
exhaust ports the same? Is it not feasible to put "regular" Dak=20
headers on an R/T? What IS the difference?

Tate,
I tried to locate a replacement Y-pipe about two years ago, and=20
exhausted
all avenues (at least at that time). The only option I could find at=20
that
time was to have one "custom" fabricated. (Can you say EXPENSIVE???)=20
 Do
you know of anyone marketing one now-a-days?
Rich

PS. Pitiful is a good description for the stock one.

Not an ODBII expert, but you would get error codes and a check engine=20
and no inspection and a bad conscience and blah blah blah....

Make a test pipe for the muffler, not the cat if you want more flow.
 The cat will keep it quiet enough for most people's taste.

If you really want performance and economy, start off with some
headers and a replacement unit for that pitiful Y-pipe.

Only my opinion.
