Best bang for the buck. Budget Y pipe. Stainless steel mandrel bent for $170US. Fits and works great. No "bees in a can" noise.

My Stillen pipe was pricey, but it's a damn nice pipe. I installed it about a month ago, and have had no problems with it. Before I had it, all you could hear was my intake, but now there's a hint of an exhaust note. Very nice pipe, but again...big bucks.

I've heard good/bad things about every other pipe. The only bad thing I've heard about the Stillen was the price. If you're on a budget, go with...Budget Otherwise, I'd grab the WSP or, if you got lots of $$, the Stillen.

The search button will lead you to more opinions on this subject than you could read in a whole day!
