That would be like blowing through a straw! Those pipes look like they get cushed nearly flat.
The Y-pipe on both of my 4.7s show very little constriction. I'm happy about that.
What's your left foot doing?

Now that really gets me.
People have talked about that pipe.
And my 2003 4.7 had a GOOD y-pipe. WTF?
Ok. Here's OA's picture from his link...
Now here's MY y-pipe...
Mine was a GOOD design. Of course it's gone for my TRUE DUALS. :)

I'm afraid to look at my y-pipe merge because I'm afraid I'll find something like that. I just bought some flex pipe so I can put my cutout in this week. That'll hold me for a couple years till I get true duals.

It certainly doesn't look like it would be difficult to modify the existing y-pipe unless there are other restrictions. I would cut the pipe about three inches aft of the O2 sensor and then fit a new two-into-one pipe. You might even be able to put in an x-tube at the point. Then you would have a good start on a dual system.
