A squirrel is stuck in my exhaust pipe. (not really but I need answers)
9 replies, posted
Hey so I have a straight 6 325is (e30) and I bought a single straight pipe(nocats) magnaflow exhaust with 2 tips on the end. I'm wondering if I can just make a Y pipe coming out to hook up to the engine.

How will that effect performance, air flow, and will it even work properly?

You already got an answer:
[QUOTE=thattaco;37694112]no.....
u will loose your scavenging effect and gain nothing.[/QUOTE]
that was very descriptive
you have a straight six
you have one exhaust manifold
you should have one exhaust pipe
going into one cutout
going to a muffler
going to the outside world
[QUOTE=TrippyJuicyj;37695340]that was very descriptive[/QUOTE]
I think he explained it pretty well.
You will gain no power, lose no overall back-pressure, but lose the scavenging effect (which is bad).
U have a one piece or two piece manifold?
If two piece you can go from the header/ exhaust manifold. And do two pipes to the muffler but it wouldn't make a difference from going to one pipe of decent size. If u did two mufflers it would be like two 3cyc engines.
So u want to go from exhaust manifold into one back to two then back to one at the muffler? Why?
theres literally no reason to doing what you want to do
this is what it looks like stock, it has two manifolds (holes from the engine (headers?) )

Two part manifold?
So, run a y pipe or buy another muffler and run each separately.
have 6 exhaust tips
one for each cylinder
