haha...i finally got my Budget Y-pipe today after a 2 week wait, its great looking, no mess-ups apparent. WOOHOO, cant wait till its on my car

See if my Butt dyno agrees with the actual dyno....





Eric

 

awww man I cannot wait! I ordered mine a week ago today! Yours looks great and will be even better when its on the car. You doing it yourself or having a shop do it?

 

Thats the Last Time they look that good too. just wait after you change your oil, youll probablly be whiping it down like me.

 

me and my friend...well, mostly my friend is doing it, lol. Yeah, i dont know why they spend their time painting it when its just gonna bake off. Gawd, i wanna it on my car NOW!! lol



Eric

 

wait till yall put it on, ur REALLY gonna luv it....lemme know how it is when u do....

 

Congrats on your new toy. How is the construction of the Y-pipe? How are the welds?

Thanks

 

I find them to be really good welds. Theres no holes or anything and the welds are all even across the whole weld area, all-in-all im very satisfied. Will have it on this weekend for the 16th meet in bradenton!!!




eric

 

Thats something that i really need to get.... I was debating on the budget or the stillen.. How much did you pay for the budget ???

Thanks

 

I ordered mine last Thursday. I hope it is in before the end of the week.

 

i paid like 166 shipped to my door. STEALIN is probably gonna run you over 300 similar to warspeed and cattman... Get a budget even if your not on a budget! Oh yeah, it miiiight go on tonight


Eric

 

I love my budget, no problems at all and I love the low growl it adds.

 

Sweet I think I am going to go with one then.

Thanks,

 

i may have to get one also

tino

 

nice

 

Hey guys, i got it put on tonight, and man, i LOVE it, the butt dyno definately detects added pep!! Everything fit perfectly and i LOVE the low growl it adds when you start up the car. Adds a fiercer sound to my intake, its great, no CELs either. What i dont like is the damn paint burning off , other than that, its all good, VERY satisfied customer!!


GET A BUDGET!!

Eric

(haha, can you tell im excited??)

 

Just a bit !!!

 

I do have one complaint though, has anyone with a budget or any y-pipe for that matter, experienced a metalic rasp?? I think something is rubbing, i read something about the Cat-cover shield could be to blame?...can this be so? I mean its not annoying, i dont think its an air leak, since they dont make metalic rubbing noises, and im about 95%sure all the bolts are pretty damn tight...

But oh yeah...raced my cousins '03 Accord V-6 coupe (that B!tch is quick!!) just now (again), and wow, from behind she pulls up to the accord from a roll, and just keeps pulling well past 100!!


Eric

 

Are you sure one of your pipes is not rubbing on a cross bar to hold your exhaust in. My car did that a month after the exhaust was done and all i had to do was tighten the rubber strap to hold it up.

 

ill look into it (well my friend, lol) cuz we did this all last night. you mean the rubber hangar thing, right? thanks



eric

 

Yep thats it. My pipe was making noise on the little metal piece that is like a safety to the pipe. Its right behind the cat on the way to the muffler.

Good Luck

 

Was it the Y PIPE or the B PIPE that'll fail your car's emission test..? I'm kind of confused

 

The b-pipe doesn't change anything emissions-related. You can still pass emissions with a y-pipe as long as the car is warmed up and your OEM main cat is in good condition. Only the pre-cats are replaced, not the main cat.

 

I finally got mine Budget also..its now installed..pics of stock vs. budget are in sig. I am so pleased with this purchase.
