What it did is open up the dummy pipe. The sound level between the 2 is about even now. Much better. I'm sure it has enough back pressure now with the main baffle back in.

To be honest, if I got to the extent of modding the Y-pipe, then I might as well just cough up new head pipes. They aren't much for a used set of dresser duals. Then put the baffle back in and put some fuel to her.

I'm still wanting 4" rinehart's or a CFR's....who knows. I change my mind each week like most of us. Lol.

The problem you'll have with the new head pipes is the difference in diameter. Your slip-ons are 1-3/4" while the T-D head pipes are 2" (rendering your slip-ons useless). $200 for the Fulsac and $100 for the baffles costs less than any alternative I know of . Unless you're lucky enough to find someone ready to nearly give away a T-D system.
And those baffles DO make a difference. That's what I like about Rinehart's - they're mellow when you want them to be, but when you whack that throttle...well nothing else sounds as sweet.
