3" y-pipe?
I was just wondering if someone sells a catback that has a 3" y-pipe for my TII or if not does a place sell a high quality y-pipe by itself to include in a custom exhaust system. Thanks.

I've got to agree with you on the looking better and the possiblilty to flow better with dual. I know I am going to dual and was going to go with the APEX N1 catback but might make my own, just depends. Can't get a definite answer on the pipe sizes on the N1 dual.

Sometimes the truth hurts.
The only reason im stuck between dual of single is the extra weight of the dual.

Duals are cool I had a single N1 that I sold to Vosko. I wanted the Duals before.
DO NOT GET A FLOWMASTER!!!! the only thing that flows on a flowmaster is the name. Get a straight through Dynomax if your gonna go that route.
You will be happier with a pair of mufflers designed for a rotary. ordinary mufflers sound wierd, some would say like crap, on a rotary. However your local muffler shop should be able to bend you some pipe and make you a system you'll like.

There's no such thing as a muffler "designed for a rotary". Exhaust flow is exhaust flow, it all works the same. One muffler will sound different to another one on any engine. The only thing you have to make sure of with mufflers on a rotary is that they're packed with steel wool, not fibreglass.

All exhaust is not the same, as the rotary engine has a much greater exhaust temperature than that of piston engines.

You're right, there are plenty of mufflers that aren't suitable for a rotary, but my comment was regarding exhaust tone (which is all about flow), not temp (that's why I said no fibreglass).
