Y-pipe???

ok guys i need help on my exhaust system. my y-pipe got messed up today. its sounds like a wannabe 5.0 stang. so that means im in the process of getting a new one with a cat-converter. now i know that WSP offers some different styles for our cars. i know there is a y-pipe and a b-pipe or something like that. what i want to know is what would be better and with what cat-converter??? im open to all suggestions and recommendations as to what would also give me good miles to the gallon.

Get a y-pipe and be done with it, unless your cat and/or b-pipe are rusting away or poorly-made (my b-pipe was a POS Midas job with what seemed like 1.75" crush bends).

so a y-pipe and their carsound cat should do the trick then.

Is your cat rusted? You shouldn't need to replace it unless there is something wrong with it.

I suggest just get the y-pipe. Your current one probably has a bad flex section or has a bad o-ring. Mine had a bad o-ring and it sounded like ass. I bought a used Cattman y-pipe because I thought my y was bad. After getting it checked out, it turns out that the stock one was still perfect.

from the exhaust manifold it goes y-pipe, cat, b-pipe, muffler. i would check to see if you have a leak somewhere. that will make it sound loud.

u could always fix it how i did


i did that when i first got the car, the b-pipe had broke in half from a loose bolt holding it on finallly breaking.
