Pre-fabbed units are available (not SC specific), or you can have one made.

I was referring to a Y-pipe, as for the dp, the Supra unit fits, many companies make 'em.

I want to make a custom 3" downpipe and I need to know where to buy a Y fitting for the dual 3" pipes.

Exhaust flow at transitions is important. If your transition induces turbulence your turbo response and power will suffer. I recommend a PROPER "Y" pipe be used and one of the very few places that does it correctly is Burns Stainless. http://www.burnsstainless.com/

The Y is available in parallel or splayed. 3" in mild steel is $135 and in 304 stainless it is $162. Go here: http://www.burnsstainless.com/MergeC...into1base.html

For the best configuration add $60 and have Burns build you a real scavenging Y-pipe based on your engines requirements. Go here: http://www.burnsstainless.com/Crosso...rossovers.html

Can you buy a cheaper part? Yes. Will it make as much power or last as long? No.

I'm still trying to decide whether to go 3" or 2.5" duals to mufflers. I see that Supra owners only have single 3". I would hate to put 3" duals and lose power.
