Performance Y pipe...
Has anyone bought one of these? If so does it work as described with the added HP and torque?

Just curious, but where'd you get it and are your MPG gains freeway or combined? Either way, that's enough of a reason for me to get one. Thanks, Jim

Sand_man,
I got the same one that is in the first post, from the same seller. He had a different name. But it came from the same city in Oregon. It'll fit a 5.4L or a 6.8L. Regarding the mileage, it is mostly freeway, but even then I'm usually 5-10 over the limit.....if you know what I mean.
I put a cat back exhaust on my rig back in '03 but didn't realize at the time there was that pinch point in the factory exhaust. Took me 5 years to realize that the y-pipe what it needed all along. One of those....'wish I knew then what I know now' things.
Get it. You won't be sorry.

Ford must have REALLY made some changes to the newer ones. Mine looks nothing like the picture of the stock Y pipe. Mine has large pipes and two big cats before the Y collector. My Y collector looks more like the new one pictured. Is that factory Y pipe pic real? I looks like an exhaust sine wave nightmare!

As usual, lots of good needed info from my fellow FTE's. Looks like I will also be buying one this spring but I don't have the luxury of a welder nor would I be very good at it. Maybe someone in the Fremont N.H. area could help me out. I just installed a K&N FIPK on my truck yesterday morning, I have a Superchips Cortex Tuner coming today via FedEx and will look forward to tuning it out & I should be getting my new sway arm bushing set from Amazon on Friday and I can install that maybe over the weekend if not sooner. I made enough room on one side of my garage so that I can pull the front end of my truck in to be able to work on it if needed. So hopefully with the K&N FIPK, the tuner and the Y pipe I hopefully wont have to have my foot so far into the pedal to get rolling. I wonder what total HP I may gain all together?

I've had it about 18 months or so. Seems to be holding up just fine.
