Carbon Fiber Y-Pipe Anyone?

Having already developed a power producing Y-Pipe in aluminum, we decided to take this design and create it in carbon fiber for those wanting that extra exotic touch in their engine bay. Matching nicely with the factory carbon fiber air intake box as picture, this full carbon Y-Pipe is built with 2x2 tubular sleeve carbon. Airflow restrictions can always hamper performance and power and this part like any other does that as well. Our YPipe kit has smooth mandrel 3inch bends from a 4inch collector that goes to the throttlebody. For fitment reasons, we then neck down to 2.25inches to fit on the stock boost hoses. We have incorporated all fittings/sensors that are required.

Going off our original baseline using our Mustang AWD on 91octane and about 90F temp, the car made 455awhp and 443ft/lbs of torque. We did these test in standard mode, not sport to see the linear gains. With the addition of our YPipe, we picked up about 10 horsepower and 20ft/lbs of torque. Final number of 463awhp and 466ft/lbs. These numbers represent the PEAK gains on the dyno, however looking at the curve you can see even more gains in different areas. From about 2900rpm to 3700rpm the car gained almost 40ft/lbs of torque and then tapered to the peak torque gain of 20ft/lbs. Besides being a bolt-on power adder, this carbon fiber part can be had in different color weaves as well.

This fits all Porsche 997.2 Turbo and Turbo S models from 2010-2012.

All Agency Power products come with a LIMITED LIFETIME warranty.

Have you tried the 997 Y pipe to see if it would work on a 996? I have a 996 GT2 with Evoms intake and silicone intercooler piping and like the shape of your 997 Y pipe a lot better than the 996 Y pipes I have seen. I really don't like the big bulge on the left side.
Would there be room to make it work by maybe not using the couplers and attaching the silicone piping directly on to your Y pipe like seen in the above pic?

electra - no, if you mix correctly, no issue. The amount of air heat not direct contact heat would never affect that.

Adamnsons - We have a 996TT Ypipe already out if you check our site. We just got our first article of carbon done too we will be sneaking out soon. The pipe we have seen with that setup.

Thanks for that but I was interested in the carbon fiber one. That is why I asked if the 997 CF pipe would work with the 996?

This don't fit 997.1TT? Do you have this combo for the 997.1TT: bigger alu y-pipe, 82mm IPD and GT3 TB?

So the baseline dyno of 455awhp and 443ft/lbs without the BMC filter in the pic? How much power does the BMC add on its own?

That is very cool! Is there a weight savings too, or is it esthetic only?
