I would get a WSP B-pipe and pick any straight through muffler that you like. Thats what I plan to do, along with a high flow cat. Right now I just have a Maxspeed straight through muffler. It looks and sounds good but probably didn't do much for Horse power.

Yeah,What MaximaMike said I got my cat back and a Dynomax muffler first.I didnt do S*** when I got my Y pipe is when I noticed the biggest difference.Y first then worry about a cat back and muffler.But for a muffler I reccomend Dynomax Race Magnum Muffler.It is straight threw and has alot bass.Plus Dynomax offers a lifetime warranty on there mufflers.

How much of a difference does a new catalytic converter make??? Warpspeed offers one and I was considering getting it with a new Y-pipe. Anybody get a new one? And how does it feel (any increases in hp)?

Dallas @ Warpspeed told me a while ago.I know I shouldnt say this cause it is bad for business but here it goes.He said "I wish I can tell you putting a cat on would make you feel a difference but it won't"But he did say "It finish's off the exhaust after you have a Y,And catback and a good muffler".So in his words what I think he was trying to say was.Get all the rest of the exhaust done then top it off with a cat later.And you will feel a difference if will add the extra flow to the rest of the system.

you know personally, i would just do everything at once. My exhaust guy (redline exhaust in PA) is doin mine. I might do headers off a 300Z and i'm gonna have him custom build a Y pipe for me, then run 2 1/2" to a high flow Cat, then 2 1/2 back to either a real nice muffler, or have him custom run duals from there. It CAN be done. there are a few ways of doing it that we're kicking around. but when it comes down to it, mixing and matching is kind of a rough thing to do, doing it all at once it all gets welded and in place, and you'll defenitely feel it right away. best of all, total for whole thing. . . .. 450 bucks (without duals). that's less than a catback

not mine! I found mine on the for sale board for $375. Brand new in box Greddy! Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten it as the $650 price is a turn off.

http://www.brullenexhaust.com/ also sells a catback for our cars but personally I would buy the Y-pipe first.

I don't know if I want to shell out that type of dinero for an exhaust sytem. I don't race my car anyway. I would like to know where I could find an O2 sensor for a fair price.
