Sealing in exhaust gases at the header collector or exhaust y-pipes can help prevent dangerous fumes and gases from entering your passenger compartment from below. With a properly matched header collector or exhaust y-pipe, all exhaust gases will be entirely routed from the engine to the vehicle's rear, far away from the driver and passengers.

Upgrading from your stock exhaust y-pipe to a larger version can significantly boost your power and performance. For example, swapping a 2-inch exhaust y-pipe for a 3-inch y-pipe allows more exhaust gases to leave the engine and help it breathe better.

There are several DIY ways to connect an exhaust y-pipe adaptor or exhaust pipes to your systems, assuming the connection point is with the correct component sizes. Otherwise, a custom adapter will be required. The first option for a universal y-pipe connection is welding. This is the most time-consuming option, but it produces a gorgeous clean look when done correctly. The next option is a traditional U-bolt clamp. This connection tightens down with a wrench or socket above overlapping pipes, creating a crimp that cannot be undone without cutting the pipe. Another option is a preformed or butt joint exhaust band clamp. This "wide band" type allows the option to take the connection apart if needed in a future project.
