So correct me if I'm wrong but the kit comes with a y-pipe that has cats right? Or does it use the stock H-pipes cats?

All single turbo kits are going to use a Y pipe. You only have one downpipe with the single kits so an H-pipe wouldn't really work. Whether the Turbonetics kit has cats or not, I have no clue. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Yes, I know it uses the single Y but it has to collect into something. I'm asking b/c I've got my stock H-Pipe in the attic and an O/R H-Pipe on the car.

I'm pretty sure I'll need to cut part of the mid-pipe but not sure where. This will determine whether or not I put the stock mid-pipe back on or not.

It replaces the entire midpipe. So wherever the current midpipe goes in, the Y pipe will go in at. So you have the downpipe that goes to the Y pipe (in place of the current mid pipe) and then the Y pipe connects to the over axle pipes and those obviously connect to the axle backs. I think that's what you were asking....

Correct. You wont need the stock one or the off-road one. Put 'em up for sale and help pay for the kit

Sweet. I was under the impression via the 5.0 Magazine install article that I'd need to modify my stock H-Pipe.

you cut your pipe

you cut your pipes 2" behind the cats, you attach the y pipe to the ends after the cats. so yes, you use the stock cats. I bought an aftermarket H-Pipe and just cut it to the same length to get rid of my cats

hmm

i would say that im pushing the limit. the 512 pass it boosted to 12psi, that is about all that is safe. the guy at the shop i dyno'd it at said "three pulls all over 500hp, start saving for a short block" so i may tune it down a psi or 2.

the fella I'm buying the kit from was pushing 515 @ 10 PSI on the stock motor however I'm pretty sure he's got a few other mods. Definitely know he's got a 1 piece drive shaft.

What is the reason behind ford putting in a two piece driveshaft? Is it for NVH?
