IPD Y Pipe and Carbon Install
Just received My IPD Y Pipe from SamboTT at BY Design. One word, Excellent!
Decided to install the Y Pipe and while at it add a few carbon parts up front. Couldn't believe all the debris wedged at the radiators. I took this opportunity to do some routine maintenance and thoroughly clean it all up. Something the dealer would never do during service. Shes now better than new.
Keep those radiators clean as it will affect performance. Wanted to share a few pics for reference.

Looks great! Really bummed that the IPD won't work with our IC kit.
I have a bunch of them in stock too...

I am hoping Champion can score some gains from the y pipe it is developing.

Our new y-pipe is currently being flow-tested. We revised the design slightly after the last round of flow testing last week, and I'm pretty sure the current revision is going to be the one. Once it passes, we should see production parts in a couple weeks.

Don't know for sure yet. We'll see at the next stage of testing.

With IPD Y pipe and "By Design" intercoolers I'm hoping to get deep into the 6's on the 1/8 mile track . Will have it all buttoned up next week. I'll post results.

Sam Thank you for answering the countless questions and allowing me to pick your brain as well as gain from your experience all prior to spending a dime with you. Your reputation is well deserved!

IPD Y Pipe installed!
- Very simple install as all oem hoses, sensor and fittings are flawlessly located within the IPD engineered pipe. Makes the oem piece look like cheap plastic.
- The IPD Y pipe is massive- considerably larger in comparison to stock.
- Weight is 2 lbs more than the stock plastic and aluminum Y pipe.
I'm no expert on flow and air velocity which I leave to IPD but one can see from the design that the unit was engineered to speed volume and airflow without the swirls and slowdown associated with round pipe configurations.
My Impressions-
From Seat of the pants -The mid range torque increase is huge. Wheels lightly kick out and break loose on upshift during hard launch 2-3 shift. Noticeable difference in 3-6K rpm range pull.
A worthwhile and highly recommended upgrade from IPD - IMHO. Couple of dyno sessions upcoming so will quantify current HP and Tq numbers soon.
