Is this better than HR Y-pipe?

Seen this on Craigslist. I'm searching for HR Y-pipe for my Sedan. Will this do any better than my OEM Sedan Y-pipe?

Just don't buy eBay trash!

Most anything is better than the OE y-pipe, this one will do fine! Better yet, get a true dual system for the best results!

Looks good, but if your G is AWD that probably won't clear the transfer case.

Would help you know year and model of what you are putting it on, and what that pipe is off.

Doesn't even look symmetrical. I'd have to see the inside of where the pipes join, because if they just mashed them together instead of cutting a nice angle and merging properly, they made a major chokepoint in the exhaust.

Only thing better than the HR Y is the Motordyne Y. Although my Borla cat back with resonated Y was great

When you buy a full borla catback does it come with a Y pipe or is that sold separately from the exhaust because I get a little rasp would a Motordyne Y pipe help?

It does but both pipes dump into a 2 in 2 out borla muffler. Not really a Y. So I chopped that off and put a Magnaflow resonated X pipe. Less rasp and a little more torque down low

OK well I'm def. going to do this because my rasp is a little annoying, can it also be the ART pipes are to strong for the Borla Catback?

So the outer diameter may be to big? On which the Art pipe or the pipe connecting to them from the exhaust?
