Warpspeed or Budget Y-Pipe?

I'm interested in obtaining a y-pipe in combination with a FrankenCar. I don't want to deal with any "bees in the cans" noise or hissing.

So my question is...
Have the Budget Y-Pipes improved recently to eliminate this noise? or should I go Warpspeed to be sure.

I have one and it has no bees noise. Its also T-304 Stainless Steel and mandrel bent for around $170 US SHIPPED and they will answer the phone.

Price the other one, for the same thing its around $275 PLUS shipping.

I haev a Budget y-pipe... no bees in a can sound at all... and you can't beat the price.

There is a BIT of hissing at high RPMs under WOT, but that sounds more like a turbo to me plus with your Frankencar, you will drown that out like it isn't even there.

Well lets see...


Warpspeed

pros
No bees in can sound
Mandrel bent
T-304 Stainless Steel

cons
$275 PLUS shipping
Poor service

Budget

pros
$170 shipped
Good service
No bees in can sound
Mandrel bent
T-304 Stainless Steel

cons
?

As you can see you get the same thing with Budget that you get with Warpspeed for much less and you pipe will be shipped to you fast. The Budget pipe is probely the most popular one on the .org and i have never heard anyone saying thay they are not satified with it. And the gains between the two will be the same.
