y-pipe question

is it worth it to instal a warpspeed y-pipe if i got a brand stock exhaust system?
or should i just go with a stock y-pipe? and i really dont want my car to be loud will the y-pipe make it loud?

The y-pipe will give you a little growl, but only after about 4000 rpms. So when you want your car to be loud you can make it loud, but if you drive conservatively it won't be loud. It made a noticeable sound after installation in my cars, but they already had intakes. The performance bang for the buck is worth buying the y, unless you want it to be stock.

go with warpspeed it isn't that loud, it's cheap in price, and you gain horsepower from it.

lmao. i got mine at $160(.org price shipped to canada) when my old pipe was rusted through and leaking smelly gas..

i was about to take it to a local shop to have them put in a stocker, but they wanted CDN$450~ for that pipe.. so i said f-that and bought a wsp.

i'm so glad i went this route instead of having that guy put in yet another crappy stocker..

Nah the ebay one they are selling is their new "superflo" design. That one sells for the full 199. If you haven't sent payment yet, you can call them up...the warpspeed lady is pretty cool. Just ask them if you can have the old model, thats the one for 160.

well think of it as a 350z and g35 6-speed. the drone that they make when shifting gears is noticeable but when u shift gears in a 3rd gen. with the WSP y-pipe u'll feel it from inside while drivin'. thats how i c it from my point of view.

Not to diss the y-pipe but after I put mine on I really didn't notice that much of a difference.

All you have to consider is that WSP is cheaper and better flowing. the stock design is too constrictive and with all the heat shields its noisy as hell. Go wsp and save some money.

Performance wise I most certainly did, but sound wise - not really.

How about the cat converter WSP sels with that Y pipe set up has anyone had a problem passing inspection? They also carry the cat back system my 94 max is stock for now is the clone version the way to go for the finish. I know the magnaflow cat back is noisey. My kid is inheriting my max and I don't want any police harassment for her.

I did an intake first then the Y pipe a couple weeks later. I noticed massive increase of acceleration @ 3500 RPM and up and a more noticeable difference with it than the intake by itself.

I'm finishing my exhaust soon with the rest of the wsp setup. Not to highjack this thread or anything, but is the magnaflo muffler's noise similar to the ypipe and intakes' or does it still make a ricy annoyance?
