Just a quick exhaust question...

Car A

blown @ 10psi - stock exhaust manifolds - 3" ypipe and catback

Car B

blown @ 10psi - cattman headers/y pipe - 3" catback

Nah, basically....

Will headers + 2.5" catback/y = more efficient than...

stock manifolds + 3" y pipe/catback

or vica versa...

Oh, your post isn't clear to me. I took 3" ypipe and catback to mean 3" catback as well as 3" ypipe.

Agreed. Am I not correct in saying that headers are the "strongest link" of the A32 exhaust?

Car B would make more power, if you are meaning headers/y combo and then a 3" b-pipe through muffler. Stephen Max's car proves this with a 2.5 b-pipe.
