I don't see an "H" pipe on your exhaust. Is it not in the picture or do you not have one?

I have pictures in my gallery but just haven't been able to place a link on the thread... That system is called "Custom Made". NO choke point, No "Y" pipe and less restrictive than a SIDO system. I bet it sounds great!!! What type of muffler are you using? Or did you just straight pipe it to the rear? Those tips look great!!! BoB

Increase performance of an exhaust system is a function of exhaust gas velocity and flow...a 2 into 1 system tends to have higher gas velocity but less flow...the smaller the pipe size, the higher the velocity, but the lower the flow...it's a fine line...a dual system tends to have high exhaust flow but less gas velocity...
In theory, I see stepping a pipe from 2 1/2 (or 2 1/4" whatever it is) to 3" as a performance improvement...you have the velocity increase in the smaller diameter and a flow increase in the step to the larger diameter...I'm sure Magnaflow and Flowmaster did their homework when designing these catback systems...

Thanks EXPY03... I appreciate you attaching my pictures to this thread... I do not have an H or X pipe either. My exhaust guy kinda said it would not do much for a full size truck(6K lbs.) but he would add either If I wanted. My truck truck sounds great! I turned the tips out the side thru Z28 style tips. Just to be a little different... Did you see my wrecked 06 Supercrew in my gallery? My wife and I were enroute to NC Outer Banx when some yahoo pulled right out in front of us. The right side frame was bent in two places. Insurance company "Totalled Lossed" the vehicle. I just got my NEW 06(Second Truck) two weeks ago. The exhaust were just done, And I'm having suspension put on it now... I'll post pics of the "Phoenix" when I get it back. Thanks again for helping with the pictures. BoB

I have a stupid question about the Y-Pipe? First off, I have an '03 F150 with a 5.4L. My truck has an O2 sensor right by the Y and it doesn't look like I can put a new pipe on with out relocating the O2 sensor, what are you doing about that? Is this something that a muffler shop needs to be doing? I was thinking about getting the Flowmaster 3" tailpipe kit along with a new Y-Pipe and doing it myself. Any help would be great!!
