I have the Borla 2 3/4 y-pipe installed on mine. I went with the Borla because it was bigger then the 2 1/2 slp one. Went on without a glitch. Its tight but it works.

WoW, I have the same exact exhaust. I just noticed when I put the y-pipe on, its really close to the k-frame on the passenger side. I have about an 1/8 of an inch clearance. Its fine now, but I will see how it goes in a few days to see if it hits. I am also running a high flow cat and Magnaflow exhaust. Sounds Nice!. Its mellow when cruising but when you open it up. Damn it gets loud! Before it wasnt as loud under full throttle, But YES you will notice a difference.

Actually it only says 2 1/2 inch on the SLP Website, but i am sure that it said 3inches when i bought it, then again i did get it off ebay for like 50 bucks so i wasnt complaning. Maybe it was false advertisement lol.

There is a link for an ebay...kinda funny, the guy with the auction claims you can gain 20 hp from it lol.

This is the link to the SLP one:

Stock y-pipe is 2 1/4. The Pipe you sent a pic. of is 2 1/2. I had one of them and sold it. I bought the 2 3/4 as it's the biggest size I have found.
