Y - Pipe

I looked under my 99 v10 last week and couldn't believe the y-pipe , would getting a custom one made and installed help or hurt the truck's mileage or running in general ? Right now the truck has stock system but the muffler was removed . Fred

careful about changing that and losing low end torque. Torque tube headers would compesate for the y pipe change.

Think your Y-pipe is bad, you should check out the ones for '01 and newer! They squeeze down to about 1.5" in diameter. I'd keep the one you have.

I had a custom one made and put a flowmaster in it and do not regret it one bit, I kept my stock tail pipe, and exhaust manifolds though, I' m contemplating putting in the dual pipe system right now
