Wink Tom's Front Pipe( Y-pipe)

I received and installed my front y-pipe today !

Great fit & finish like all of Tom's products, different resonator better flow , not any louder than stock assy.

Good fit with the Blitz rear system

I did have to shim the front cross member brace for the increased diameter or there would be some rubbing issues in this location.

I noticed More midrange, I will resert the system and go from there.....

Iam having my S/S headers ceramic coated before the install

Doing my full Ti exhaust on my Ducati 999r Xerox edition at the same time 80.00 per set .

Here is the company onfo of the ceramic coater:

Default Tom's Down Pipe

I know I should have but , I only had it in the air for about 15 minutes
O2 sensors came right out, 6 bolts and it was done........

Much larger diameter to match the Blitz.....

Wow that was fast. Am I understanding you correctly?
The Y-pipe connects to the Stock Exhaust Manifold (or headers) in front and to the Blitz Pipe in the rear.
Which completely replaces both cats and the resinator?

GB,

Any dyno numbers or other methods of gauging possible increases?
I double motion on the pics.
Thanks

Cool Tom's Down Pipe/ypipe

Sorry I was in a rush to do this , I will take a complete set when I do the header install

Waiting for my headers and a set of new Ti exhaust pipes for my new Ducati 999R Xerox to come back from the ceramic coaters

I have s&s headers, custom 2.5" y-pipe no cats, carson tuned exhaust and the car is noticable faster.
