Good afternoon, fellow ram owners:

I am getting a Magnaflow y pipe installed this coming week.

I believe the one I need is part # 10778.

Is this the correct one?

PS: I joined the ramforum yesterday.

Best Regards, Alex

not sure on if it is correct, depends on the size of the piping you are running.
has a 2.5inch dual inlet piping and 3inch outlet pipe. can just measure the piping to make sure what you have.
did you by any chance already buy that Y pipe? cause i have that same part for sale. $20 shipped.

Y pipe installed this past tuesday, Jan. 3rd

Thank-you, quietpeen.

I decided to go to a muffler shop near where I live in Edmonton, AB. I explained to him about how I wanted a magnaflow y pipe part # 10778, and he said he had done one recently on a 4th gen ram 1500 hemi. I explained to him that the magnaflow system I got installed at another shop was too loud for me. I had read that the magnaflow y pipe would flow much better then the factory setup and would cut down the exhaust noise. It took one of his guys less than an hour to build some pipes for behind the cats, than flowed them into the y pipe, then attach it to the catback system. And as advertised, a little more power was had, plus the whole exhaust system is much quiter.

Now I am a happy camper!

I should have went to see him in the first place, I have known him for close to 30 years.

So, if anyone of you readers live in the Edmonton, Alberta area, go see Ed at Park Muffler in Sherwood Park, which is just east of Edmonton. By the way, he is the boss and owner. This guy knows his stuff, and has built many exhaust systems for me over the years.

By the way, before the y pipe was installed, a fellow in a Ford 150 Ecoboost twin turbo thought he was going to kick my ass in a little street race. Well, he didn't. He jumped by about a foot before I realized he wanted to race, and I put the pedal to the metal, and that's all he had on me, a foot, before I shut it down, close to 60 mph. I have seen a race on youtube where an ecoboost F150 beats a 4th gen hemi quite badly. All I have done to my 2011 ram hemi is the magnaflow y pipe and catback system, and an airraid drop in filter.

I plan to get the vararam ram system next. I wish the hell a programmer was finally developed for these 11 and 12 hemis. I used a superchips programmer for my 2004 and 2008 ram 1500 hemis, and these trucks woke up!

Anyway, I am outta here, chat with you fellow ram owners later.

SO did the Y pipe actually make it quieter?

damn I'm getting mine welded in tomorrow, I have a Magnaflow 14" and like the noise, sometimes I wish the noise was louder in fact. I don't like the idea that the Y pipe is going to make it quieter.

I just finished a Borla exhaust install. I had them cut out the factory Y-pipe (witch was shockingly restrictive) and install separate pipes running from each of the cats to a dual in/dual out muffler. More like a true dual setup...its awesome! The Borla sounds even deeper and meaner (I had the single in/dual out Borla already to compare). The Borla maintains its "refined" mellow sound. Noticeable torque gains too.

Went to get mine done today, found out it is going to void your warranty though

Only thing that will really void your warranty is removing the cats.

Well multiple dealers said the only part of the warranty you will be voiding is the exhaust part. I don't plan to remove the cats and since i've already modified my exhaust it doesn't matter anyway

thewizrard you were definately right about Park Muffler! I had an aweful drone in the cab, and I just had my exhaust done about a couple of months ago at Action muffler, talk about **** and pileage the people, lol. So I talked to Ed at Park Muffler, like your were mentioning in a previous thread, and Ed suggested the muffler to go with; which was a Flo~Pro 2504 Big Oval true dual muffler, and wow! No drone or resonance in the cab at all! They know there stuff, and they treat you like family, and awesome to deal with. Anyone who is in the Edmonton and area, and looking to have a custom exhaust work done, definately go see Ed and the boys at Park Muffler. They are located in Sherwood Park Alberta. Thank you thewizard again for mentioning about Park Muffler.

Need moar video :)

I ran against my buddies ecoboost F150 a few months ago, with just an intake and DCX 91 tune and stayed even till 4th when i put a truck distance between us. I would be curious how it would do now, after I get the shorties/exhaust finished up and the e-fan in. Although he has since got the AFE intake and a bahma tune I believe. hmmmm
