    OBD1 midpipes to 3" possible?

    Just picked up a set of OBD1 exhaust manifold and midpipes from the JY and I have some 3" piping for my exhaust. I'm using 3" cause I'm going turbo inte near future. I'll be going with a y-pipe but the obd1 midpipes are different sizes. One is 2"
    And the other is 1.75"

    Should I try and just make a custom 2-1 collector? Or has anyone come to this problem also? I guess I could always massage the y pipe to fit. What's the norm?

    You use a transition cone.

      Hmm I didn't know about those. Thanks a lot. I'll pick up one of those from Columbia river mandrel bends.

      I haven't had much luck finding a Y pipe with 2" inlets to single 3" outlet. Flow master doesn't seem to make that size. Anyone have a link for one?

        Picked up two transition pipes from Columbia that go to 2.25" and a flowmaster y pipe that is 2.25 inlets to 3" outlet. Thanks I'll post pics when it's welded up.
