The Y is the shape of the exhaust tubing under the car. I think Rygen said they dynoed a true dual (H or X?) and there was like a 2 RWHP gain. Not much performance but plenty of sound when you change exhaust.

If you want to beat a stock GT for cheap, Nitrous works, though it is not for everyone. I was beating stock and bolt on GT's (no suspension mods) at the track when I used to have it, in fact I havent lost to one yet. But there is no replacement for displacment, if a GT goes all out, we are toast.
Second most economical is a SC, cost less than a TC, generally makes power at higer RPM's, curve isn't as broad, but then just up the boost, throw in a nice IC and your kicking *** and taking names. You can get a SC without intercooler and match GT power.
For simplicity I think the Explorer express (xcharger) is the easiset to install, and has a proven reliability record. Here is a list of power adders that Jimp (a.k.a. BlackLX4.0) maintains on a regular basis for our cars:

Yeah you just have to go when theres an open day, like street drags night or something and you can run your car I think its like $15. Just go to your local tracks website and they should have information, if not just call them.

The power curve is different between the two, and then complicate that by comparing a centri SC (Vortech, Procharger) to a roots SC (Xcharger) and it can get confusing real quick. Roots SC make power at 2K rpm, so you feel it right off the line...sounds pretty sick!

RE: Mod Help!
I just bought my mustang a little over a week ago. I owned a 94 V6 before but never had the money to really do anything to it. Now I have graduated college and I dont have a wife and kids to worry about or anything so this will be my baby and I plan on doing alot to her. I know a decent bit about cars and I would like to be seeing somewhere around 250-300 rwhp on a naturally aspirated V6 in about a year to a year and a half. I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do but I am just not sure about what is the best brands to go with and which ones have more HP gains over the competition. I want a deep Borla sounding duel exhaust but I havent found any sound clips for a V6 that really caught my ear. I REALLY liked the side exhaust on the bash performance GT that sombody posted on the V6 forum, but I just dont know how it would sound on the 4.0L. I am thinking duels with either an X or H pipe and cat forward headers will be my first step with a CAI and tuning to follow, but like I said I am just not sure on the brands. ANY advice would be appriciated!!!!
