Stock Y-Pipe

[ar0ck]

What size pipes is it on a LT1 F-Body Y-pipe with a single cat, before it goes into the catalytic converter?

[PDubs87Z28]

2.5???? :shrug: i don't really remember....

[Tru2Chevy]

I always thought that it was 2.75", but I've never measured myself or anything....

The actualy Inlet to the cat is what Im looking for. Where the two pipes merge.

[j0n]

inlet to the cat is 3" i.d.

Can someone help explain the pipe I need?

It would be to connect a 3" exhaust pipe from the stock y-pipe to my 3" cat-back.

I think it would have to be:
3" Pipe
with a 3" ID and 3" OD (or ID) on the ends?

I hope someone knows what Im talking about :lol:

What im trying to do is cut out my stock cat with a saw-zall. Â*And connect both ends with a 3" Test-Pipe, and clam the two ends down with band-clamps, so that the pipe can easily be swaped out or removed.

MY y-pipe has a 3" end/stock cat 3" inlet... yours is the same, I assume.

For your test pipe get 3" OD on both sides and you shoudl be set, i think

[Savage_Messiah]

dude again I highly doubt your y-pipe is 2.5" considering v6 ones are 3"
