i mainly wanted to see how it hooks up to the exhaust system, like does it bolt on to the headers then replaces the ypipe to the cat or does it use the y pipe? thanks

This is not a "kit" that is for sale, but it is the basic reverse y-pipe set up that most guys have. This was designed and made by On Alert a few years ago. I now own it but have yet to install it. I think the exhaust is the same as the PFI kit but my induction piping is different.



A modified aftermarket y-pipe is used. it is reversed to flow the exhaust back to turbo. Not the best design in the world but it is simple since it uses a easily had y-pipe.

In the pfi kit, the piping is actually reversed. The turbine side forces air downward throught the intercooler going left, then back up going right-ward then into manifold.

hmmm so where does the reverse y pipe and down pipe off turbo sit? i m guessing it does not fit in the pre made indent in the chasis where the stock exhuast sits. do you have any ground clearance issues? wouldnt want to scrap that expensive pipe

I do, major ground clearance issues. Down pipe might even need replacement. If you fabricate a downpipe, I suggest you make it hug the tranny ( but not too close)to make clearance.

That red pipe is your y pipe. See how it wraps back around and heads upward. Thats the reverse part. I bought a used Cattman y and chopped off the reverse part from the kit and welded that on. So I got a Cattman Y turbo piping. Sounds a bit better to me.
