ok, after having issues from day one with the QTP y-pipe... i've come to the conclusion i really do need to replace it soon. It has several leaking joints and just has horrible clearence. It is actually the reason i cannot currently run my rear lowering springs. I basically need a shop to custom make me a y pipe to give me the most clearence possible and best fit. For the most part, cost is not an issue, since i want quality.

Would mufflex be able to do this for me?

Now for the rest of the exhaust, the "catback" system... I currently have a perfectly fine magna flow setup that has less than 5k miles on it, but i'm thinking i may be better off upgrading to a 4" catback setup. Im not sure what the claimed "limits" of hp my current single 3.5"(or 3", i dunno) catback can support but i have a feeling i am pushing it shortly. motor like most know is a cammed and full bolt-on LS6 with a out of the box hp of 405. By the end of summer, it'll also be forced induction. So hp will be a tiny bit more, so im feeling a 4" will be a smart choice... advice?
