Here, I did the math for you. The area of a single 3" pipe is 45.606 cm^2. The area of two 2.5" pipes is 63.342 cm^2. That's a huge difference (17.736cm^2). You're introducing a bottleneck at the y. For comparison, a single 3.5" pipe has an area of 62.071 cm^2. Go back and read Megan's posts. You must have missed the part where he build a single exhaust. You should be taking his word for it because he's already done all of the testing. |
All I have to say which is already a big hint is if we aren't talking about headers, the next spot to look at is how the y-Pipe is made and even more importantly is the throat aera which will play one of the biggest role.
that's not only coming from me but by
