Hi Guys,

I have an air return duct in the basement that is being finished.

One the picture below you can see where the return is.
Plan is to add 6 inch pipe to extend return right to the corner where I would put a grill ...

Option 2 - I would a Y/WYE and two elbows one to the corner and one in the ceiling.

So return would have two paths for incoming air ?

Is that a better solution, I actually called local HVAC guy and unfortunately that's to small of a JOB as he is tied up with new builds.

Any advice will be appreciated.

A 6-6-6 wye really doesn't help much as the total volume is still limited to 6" - around 85 CFM. You really need someone on site to see the whole picture and determine what is needed.
