Well there is a few pics of the progress. I'm still working on it hope to have it finnished this weekend. all except the secand amp which will power the front sepakers and there not in yet.

AS soon as I get the springs on I will post pics.

And some pics of why I couldn't use the exhaust.









It doesn't look liek it in the one pic but the Y pipe is centered on the stock one and in the one showing both mufflers from the side the one does stick out further then the other. The company was going to send me another Y pipe but that was three weeks ago and they are telling it will be 3-5 more weeks before I will get it. So I filled with paypal to get my money back.

Too bad it didn't work. It was worth a shot, though. Have you thought about going with a custom setup? What about removing the resonator in the center? Are you looking for more sound or performance? I would not see a need to to increase pipe diameter as it may move the torque curve back.

I'm looking for both performance and sound. The mid pipe isn't the big bottel neck its the Y pipe thats the issue. After all exhaust is only as free flowing as its smallest point. Before I got the tribeca I was big into doing 4 cylinders and if you swaped from say a 2.25 to a 2.5 you would not lose anything you would gain asooming you did it right but if you went up to say a 3" it would loose power. What I don't understand is the pipping on the H-6 is the same size as the H-4. Logic would say that you should make it larger. My plan is to do a custom exhaust I might leave the mid pipe and just do the Y pipe and mufflers. if I did the whole system I would make it 2.5" then 2" after the Y. Having trouble finding some good 2" mufflers but might just have to settle for some 2.25 ones. I plan to later on make some headers that will lengthen the primaries, that will help with the low end power. Going to also play around with a steped design to try and help with the top too.

Alos looking at the springs I have. What apears to be differant is the springs are a much lower spring rate Phyisicaly they have the same amount of coils but the ones off the legacy are about 3/4 as thick. So logic would say that with the softer spring it would drop lower and cause there softer it would still ride good might even be softer then before. What concerns me is this might cause more body role. Going to look into a sway bar but the rear sway has a curve in it to clear the spare tire cover but I think I have a way around that.
