Tommy,

  I think you are saying that you have welded your 2 exhaust primaries into 
a "Y" collector? Just want to be sure that you have slip couplings, flex 
tubing, or some other means of allowing the 2 primaries to move relative to 
one another. As opposed to a header that is rigidly welded together from 
exhaust flange to collector. There was a recent crash discussed on the 
"other" list that was caused by a failed exhaust system. The failure was 
due (at least in part) to the builder not allowing for differential 
expansion of the 2 primaries.
