These are the only ones that I've found...2653K66 from McMaster...I think they're that much because they're stainless not brass. Will the home depot have these in the 3/8" version? If not where can I get them where I won't be spending $34 a pop?

Why do you need a 'Y' fitting? We use 'T's for cooling lines, except a special one I make for the X-Scream 1000's when using the Power Factor Pipe. (1/2 X 1/2 X 3/8)
When I set up a single cooling line I install water fittings facing each other and use a 'T' there, and use a 'T to feed the stinger off one of the out lines.

I can use T's, I was just looking into it because it would give me even flow to both cooling lines. I was thinking of using a Y fitting to the line that goes into the manifold...keeping both cylinders as close as possible in temp. while getting the max amount of waterflow. It also will help not get anything debris lodged in there. The other line from the dual cool i am going to route directly to the pipe, and i could care less if I have to T the cooling line to my stinger...I'll be using a jetworks flow control so I can tune it to how I like anyhow.

If it is $34 for one...i'll take my chances of running a T to the manifold and something getting clogged lol...thats crazy to pay that much for a fitting....unless you're in dire need of it.

A 'T' can provide even flow to (or from) two lines if it's hooked up correctly. All you need is symmetry along the line of flow you are splitting (or converging). It won't look as cool but you won't be able to see it down there anyways.

EDIT: and FYI, a wye is not symmetrical so it will not provide even flow although a 'Y' is and would.

The stainless T-Fitting works just as good between the exhaust manifold for single line cooling.

i'll just run a T from the pipe to the pisser and stinger...

any suggestions on which tube I should attach to the 90* fitting?? the bottom part of the T? I am running a jetworks flow control...so i think i may run the pisser off the 90*...or does it even matter?

Bypass fitting off the 90 works well and it's a straight shot to the flow control valve with more pressure.
