How much power is this Y-pipe costing me?

I had this Y-pipe made up at an exhaust shop after i put my headers on and my Hooker Y wouldnt fit, its not pretty and i know im probably losing alot of power from it. It is 2" pipe i believe?

I just fixed the oil leak, so its alittle dirty :eek2:





Car is an LE1 H/C with jethot long tubes, 52mm TB, 30lb injectors, ect ect. It made 360 HP before the 52mm tb, on a base tune thru this Y and full exhaust.

I'd say you're dropping AT LEAST 10hp through that monstroscity! Looks like someone made that with chico stix and bubble gum. No trying to bag on you dude.... but you have got to get something else behind that H/C package.
