You'll notice a difference. I forget how many hps you'll get. But you'll notice it. I noticed the difference after I got my Y put on.

You get about 12HP.

You can't let a cheesy accord beat you,a maxima should be able smoke one.You deffinately will notice the addition of the Y pipe.

Your friend better have a new accord v6.. Cuz the maxima will smoke every other accord. You will notice the power difference with just Y-Pipe and Intake. Breathe in breathe out.. =) The fun part is that you don't have to tell him you have a Y-pipe.. He will never see it.. Hehe.. Just smoke him.. =)

the only reason why is because he installed a prelude motor before the motor i could beat him with out a problem.

definatly get a y-pipe....

go with a cattman y-pipe and don't tell him about it, great idea! That is probably the biggest single HP gain that I could feel the difference on.

Re: Re: apex

Hmm.. if he put a H22 into a older accord.. and he is 5-speed.. I dono.. I think he would be tough to beat. 190 or 195hp.. The older accords probably weigh like 3000lbs.. I hope you have a 5-speed..

Get the stainless steal cattman y pipe. And if that doesn't work, and you really want to beat him, get either nitro or the supercharger.
